Hi from Colorado Springs

[randyrothe]

I just purchased an original condition 1946 BN from the estate of one of our sailplane club members, Frank Macon. He was a glider pilot in our club and a Tuskegee Airman. We will be using the tractor to maintain and mow our turf glider runway (really a former pasture that we mow and are trying to smooth out). I’d like any advice about acquiring useful attachments for our tractor at a reasonable price. If I knew how to attach photos, I would...... Thanks, I’m looking forward to owning and maintaining this small piece of history.

Welcome to the forum Randy!
I think it's very cool you own a tractor that once belonged to Frank Macon.
I'm not sure what attachments or implements you want or need but they may be hard to find complete with correct mounting brackets.
Does it have a mower?

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome.

Trailer type implements will be easier to find and much less expensive than tractor mounted. Just be sure the tractor can handle the implement size.

[randyrothe]

There are no attachments for my BN. It does, however, have a pintle hitch in the front mounted to a bracket. Frank used the tractor to push his Stinson into and out of his hangar.

Be very careful hitching anything to the front of the tractor. It isn't designed for that sort of thing and is easy to break the front end off.

Welcome to the Forum! Congrats on your new-to-you BN.

Take some time and read through a few threads to acquaint yourself with the Forum:

• Welcome Wagon
• How to Upload Pictures to a Post
• Forum Picture Posting And Other Interesting Things You Can Do
• Using the Forum

Don't know if you have any of the manuals to your Cub, but now that you’ve logged your 2nd post, you'll have access to the all the PDF Manuals on this site. There’s a few ways to do that:

• From a desktop or laptop, go to "Quick Links" in the upper left corner of your screen. Hit that and a pull-down appears where you'll find "PDF Manuals".
• You can also go to “Cub Info” in the upper toolbar, then hit “Rudi’s Manuals”. From there, you can access a variety of information.
• If you're using a phone, go to the "Links Directory" (second category down the main page). Once in "Links Directory" , scroll down to the second section "Tractor Parts & Manuals" and you'll find them there.

You'll be able to download an Owner's Manual (very strongly recommended) and there is an implement manual also available (for a B) and a BN brochure, which has some implements shown.

We’d encourage you to take the Safety Test located in the Safety Forum: http://farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=68084

Might also enjoy reading through this thread (even though it’s for a Cub, much can be applied to any tractor just brought home): What to do with a Cub you just brought home

There are a lot of good threads dealing with repair and maintenance in the How To Forum. Located here: http://farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=11

Take some pictures of your tractor and post them, we’d like to see them.

Remember:
• When you have a specific question, start a new thread in the appropriate sub-forum.
• Before posting, use the Preview button before hitting Submit--it'll show you exactly what your post will look like, including pictures.
• When adding your comments to a thread, be sure to look at the date of the last poster. If it’s more than a 6 months old, the posters are probably not going to see it. Consider starting a new thread.

Glad you joined us.
