You are not doing it right, I can use disk, harrow or blade and never get off tractor. That latch has a loop so you can tie a rope to it. I use a wrench to push latch down to lock. All this is going on while the disc plow is still on tractor waiting its turn
….I have a Fast Hitch on one of mine, but its really a tedious chore to have to pull the latch up and get on and off etc…I thought about making a jigamahoo to operate it from the seat but I'm to busy ….

Re: why so many cubs??
Didn't they originally have a rod with an "L" on the end and a loop on the top that could be carried on the tractor to open and close the latch with out getting off?danovercash wrote:Pickerandsinger said….I have a Fast Hitch on one of mine, but its really a tedious chore to have to pull the latch up and get on and off etc…I thought about making a jigamahoo to operate it from the seat but I'm to busy ….

Re: why so many cubs??
Wife and I were driving home from a shopping trip this afternoon, when we got just a glimpse of a couple of red tractors parked at the side of the road with For Sale signs on them. I continued on down the road and she looked at me and said "Aren't you going to go back and look at those tractors?" I said "Uh, sure, I'm just looking for a place to turn around". They turned out to be a couple of nice Allis Chalmers (would love to have one), and Deb was actually disappointed that they weren't Cubs.
I think there is hope!
As long as the wife is willing, there is no such thing as too many tractors.

Yep, Rosie lets me know when she sees one.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

This is a little off topic... but does anyone have the rough dimensions of this release rod?
Thanks,
David

Re: why so many cubs??
This reminds me of a gentleman I met at the RPRU in Michigan years ago. He told me he had a slew of H's and M's, one for each implement and left them hooked up year around. He worked a full time job and farmed 80-100 acres and could come home, get on the appropriate tractor and head to the field. That was when you could get a good, running get on and go H or M for $300-$500, Supers weren't much more! John

Re: why so many cubs??
Does the Cub use the same handle as the 300-560 did? I bought one years ago from Steiner if I remember right for a 450D I had.

Those hooks were different lengths, depending on the tractor model. IH didn't make one for the Cub, so any length you make is as "correct" as any other length.

Re: why so many cubs??
Rope and wrench works better for me and one less tool to keep up with. I carry the wrench anyway for the fast hitch bail bolt.

I knew you were making a funny, so it wasn't lost on everybody at least

Re: why so many cubs??
I spent many years driving an H, and the implements for them are not that big a deal to change if you take the time to set up a place and blocks to hold them level between uses. Quicker and easier than a cub, with the exception of the loader. Those are pretty comparable.tinnerjohn wrote:This reminds me of a gentleman I met at the RPRU in Michigan years ago.
