I was out cleaning my tractor and found this stamped on a macine finished space just above the oil filler cap. The stamp read :FCUBM 98357.
What does this mean? I meant to ask this earlier, hoe do you get onboard these cubs? That is a long streach for me. The floorboard comes to the middle of my thigh. I stand 5'8 I know that is short but WOW what a reach. Is there supposed to be a step ?
Thanks again guys. I get this straight one of these days

That is the engine serial number
If you will search the archives, you will find some steps that have been made. I think Rudi also has the frawings for some on his manual website. There are a couple of different types on Ebay on a regualr basis. I used to be 5'10, but with age am now 5'8. If I don't have the blade or mower mounted, I put my left foot in the wheel weight to get on.

Big O,
Congratulations! You've found the serial number of your engine. If it's the original engine, it should be a somewhat higher number than your tractor's serial number.
Climbing aboard a Cub can be a challenge... especially for us seniors. There are a number of solutions to the problem. I have a web site for a few of the possibilities... http://members.toast.net/photos/album.asp?user=gwill&album=Cub_step
The one noted as "roy step" is being reproduced in TN as a copy of one available originally.
Can you build your own? If so, look at "stepfrontside".
I'll have to design a new step for our first Low-Boy which just arrived today. I've climbed up there several times already, and even the shorter ones are a challenge.

FCUBM was a standard prefix that IH used on the cub engine serial numbers. Here is a link to TM Tractors website with engine and casting numbers.
