I picked this cub up a few weeks before Christmas and just now posting a picture.
Had to winch it on the trailer as it was a non runner but the engine was not stuck. It is a magneto distributor assembly (with an external coil added) with a regulator cut out system. Another forum member (Steve N TN) has given me valuble information and advise on the electrical system. It has come back to life with no smoke (Thanks Steve). I also owe a "Thank You" to TM Tractor for quality parts.
More to come the further I get into the tractor.

Hello Stalkcutter. I have a 48 model that is still in pieces waiting on me to get back at it. That is a good little tractor. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Early 1948 F-Cub
Update folks.
Changed all the fluids while I had the hood off. Since the hood was off, and easier to get to the motor, I cleaned everything. While it was clean, might as well paint it.
Picture is a little fuzzy but it looks good.
