Hello,
My name is Luke and I joined this forum because I am thinking of giving my Farmall M a companion in the form of a Cub. I live in Southern Illinois not too far from Mount Vernon.
Thank you for allowing me to join,
Luke

Re: Hello from Southern Illinois
Hi,
Before buying a Cub, you could read through a Cub operator's manual and see what a Cub is like, if you haven't owned one before.
The manuals have pics of how Cubs originally looked.
Below is the 1955 Cub operator's manual.
http://farmallcub.com/rudi_cub/www.clea ... index.html
Here are some things to look at before buying a Cub.
Check the castings for cracks, or broken places on them.
There is a place on earlier Cubs where the engine block can crack. It is at the right front area of the block, where the front end bolts to the engine. Look closely for a crack there, it can be covered by dirt or grease.
Below is a pic of the area, a crack can happen in the corner, where the black oil is, near the cooling system hose. One bolt is not there that holds the front end on in the pic.
There are 5/8" threaded implement mounting bolt holes in places on Cubs.
You could check the threads in the implement mounting holes.
Sometimes the threads are worn, sometimes the threads are worn out and gone. Sometimes the holes are broken.
Cubs originally came with a cork in each implement mounting hole. Some might still be in the Cub you look at. They might be painted over. They can look like a broken off bolt, but are not.
The corks are to keep out dirt.
If you aren't going to use the Cub with implements, it might not be important to you if all the threads in the holes are good.
