1964 McCormick Farmall Cub

[justanothergeek]

New to us '64 Farmall Cub; looks to be converted to 12v electrical and going to be one heck of a project.

Have fun with the project. Looks to be a good family project.

a 64 should be 12 volt already, 1st year

[Jim Becker]

The change to 12 volts was mid-year '64 (serial 224401). This one is from before the change.

Based on the tags on both the generator and starter, it looks like it's got a 12v generator with a 6v starter. Based on the modification to the hood to cover the generator, I assume that it was either converted or was in the process of being converted. Regardless, this looks like it will be a fun family project as my son and father both want to work on it; these multi-generation projects are always fun.

Looks pretty decent I like the fact it has a factory hole punched for a vertical muffler. Depending on the serial number it should be all red with a white grill screen and 6V electrical.

Could be an Industrial version. No signs of Red anywhere in his pictures. Vertical Exhaust was an option.
In a separate post he gave the S/N 223570. Yours is S/N 223883. About as close together as you can get.

Well it was possibly ordered by the state or county as a mowing tractor, my 64 actually belong to a local school in Edenton NC had a fail mower on it it's whole life the fellow my dad and me got it off of bought it at a county auction before we bought it even has a service tag on the tank. This 64 must of been ordered back then for the same purpose.
