Original Cork

Postby Skeebow » Sat Feb 08, 2020 8:37 pm

Hello all,

Today my dad and I was messing around with the cubs. He plowed up my yard with his '50 cub and molboard plow to divert all of the water from the rain and snow we've been getting in the Appalachian Mountains. Then I went to mount my 54 a blade on my '64 for the snow in the future forecast, and noticed the cork is still in the holes needed. Thats 1964 cork still there. Its never had an implement there. I didn't have the heart to take them out so I mounted it in grader position.

What would you guys do in my situation? It means a lot to me to keep my tractor as original as possible. It is a work horse right now but someday I want to do a full restoration on it. I guess I just need another cub :mrgreen:

Those corks are easy to replace and when you do the restoration, you can paint right over them and you will be the only one that knows. As for mounting the blade in the grader blade position, I hope you don’t get much snow to move because that mounting position severely limits the amount you can move. Move it to the front and buy some corks for when you dismount it.

Agree with Bill 100%. If you repaint it it’s not going to be original anyway.
