[Smiley]

I got steered here by Sonny from machine builders site and thought you might like to see this.
I found out the first time I tried this rig that Cub PTO's turn backward from everybody else's.
Best little snow sucker you ever saw!!!

Smiley:

I think I should have waited a couple days to look at this. You had me laughing.. and that right now is kinda painful.. but enjoyable nonetheless.

Snowsucker.. I like that

Looks like you will enjoy this group... should fit like a glove methinks from Sonny's comments. So whilst you have a few minutes.. here is some stuff that might be interesting..

First, to the greatest forum on the internet, and to the Cub Family. You will find that all the folks on this forum are kind, helpful and just full of Cub info and knowledge. They also happen to be the finest folks I have ever met

The Welcome Wagon is a relatively brief introduction to the information that is currently available on Cub tractors, and answers many of the common questions new members ask right of the bat. Although it is a bit overwhelming , it has been designed to actually be copied to a Word Processor such as Microsoft Word (which preserves the active links), and saved to your desktop for easy reference at a later date or when you have a bit more time to read all the information contained in the links below. Please do so, enjoy and I hope this will be a useful aid in learning more about your New Cub Tractor

Filling out your Profile is a real help. It just needs to be - State,City, County, a lot less than what is available in your local phone book. Knowing where you are will help in members offering to come help, when you are looking for parts - the area that would be useful to you etc., Also our CubFests, Mini-Fests or a simple KaffeeKlatsch/get together over coffee and a doughnut etc., to help each other benefits. Just a thought

Ok, so here is the spiel :

I would suggest that you read this thread: New Members and Visitors, Please READ Prior to Posting. There are many great links to informative pages such as the ATIS FAQ's 1 and ATIS FAQ's 2, The Best of H.L. Chauvin who has written very interesting articles on troubleshooting common problems with your Cub. One of the other projects we have been working on and it will be a continuing effort is the The Cub Book of Knowledge. This the the place to go to get all the quick links to some very good articles written by many members of the forum on solving some of the problems we encounter as we repair, maintain and up-grade our Cubs. Keep looking for this to grow.


Also, you might want to visit the Cub Manual Server as there is tons of info on servicing, maintaining and re-building your Cub. In addition to this basic information, there are also a number of other useful tools available on the server. There is the Specialty Services page which has contact info for neat stuff like getting your seats recovered, buying quality Decals, Serial Number tags and a host of other neat items. Also there are the Parts Pages - both Used Parts Suppliers and New Parts Suppliers pages with links to quality dealers. I am always looking for YOUR favourite dealers for New and Used Parts to include here. These pages are intended to complement our Official FarmallCub.com Website Sponsors:

• JP Tractor Salvage
• Ralph's Cubs
• TM Tractor Parts
• Kub Kraft

I would also recommend that you visit Binder Books and purchase the three most important manuals you can own for Maintenance, Repair and Rebuilding your Cub. These are the Owner's Manual, the GSS-1411 Service Manual and the TC-37F Parts Manual. Although they are available on the Cub Manual Server, it is better if you also have your own paper copy. Binder Books is the only Authorized IH Publication Reprint House and they have the best quality manuals available. Most other's are not of the same quality. Just a personal thought here, the I&T Shop Manuals, although helpful in some areas, really are not sufficient for the job. If you wish though, they are good additional reference works.

IF you really want to get the skinny on all things Cub, might I suggest you get a copy of Ken Updike's Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet's . While you are at it Original Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet is Ken's latest addition to the series. Along with Guy Fay's Letter Series Originality Guide, these are three must have's in anyone's collection.

In addition to the above information, don't forget to check out the various articles that are available to help with your Repair, Restore, Rebuild or just your Maintenance Projects. There are a number of sub pages such as Electrolysis or Rust Zapper's, Maintenance Tips, Jigs and Techniques, Implement and Part Sketches and of course the Paint, Decals & Other Finish Questions which has the Paint Chart and the Paint Committee Decisions links.

Oh, and while the program still lasts.. you might want to check the Announcement: Navistar Free Gas Cap Offer - On-Line Form thread at the top of the Cub Forum and send away for the new style safety cap before that program runs out as well. The program has been extended and no new definite end-date has been announced at this point. It is an extension only and may end rather quickly depending on available stocks. Please do take advantage of this offer and get the new safety caps

I truly hope that you enjoy your Cub and that you will be a frequent contributor to the forum. Again, to the Cub Family

Put a twist in the belts to reverse direction

I thought about that but was afraid of slippage when they got wet, so went with chain drive. I now have a reversible angle drive but just haven't had the time to put it on.
I had intended to set up the big Massey with a front mount blower this year but other projects took precedence.
Another thought was, I just acquired this summer, a Farmall A with a set up motor and if that pto runs the same direction as the Cubs, maybe I'll put the blower on that.

[SONNY]

Hey Smiley!--Do you still have that IH 606?-----oh, ya--- have you run up any guy wires lately? LOL!! thanks; sonny

Sonny,
No. That was going to be my front mounted blower tractor because it was already set up with a shaft driven front mounted broom but, as I said over at machine builders, my wife wanted a bigger lawn mower so I got her one and the 606 went down the road.
That guy wire in front of the garage is long gone, along with the pole so no worries about that anymore.
Here's the wife on her new mower----meet Mad Max

Nope. The PTO on the A runs standard speed and direction.

[SONNY]

Smiley is still going to have to reverse the direction of the drive!! thanks; sonny

I love the new "lawn mower"---is THAT why the pole and guy wire are gone? lol!! thanks; sonny

[Smiley]

If we hooked Maxs' winch cable high on the pole, he sure would have pulled it over or, if we could have raised the 3 pt high enough, I'll guarantee you the bush hog would have chewed it down.
