Hello everyone. This is my second post so that I can access the manuals. My nephew has driven my 1952 Cub and it has had a few problems. I have not even had a chance to use it.The biggest problem now is with the belly mower attaching to the tractor itself. One the back of the tractor there is a bar with a hook that goes over a bolt and then a u shape something that slides up into an bolt. Of course being a little old lady and not owning a tractor for 40 years, I don't know what to call these parts so I need to get into manual. Once there, I will be able to find out if this bar thing can be replaced with one from another old tractor, since the holes for the bolts that hold the u shaped piece in place have been striped. Now I cannot use the belly mower, because it won't stay attached and the belt comes off. Currently I plan to take off the belly mower and put the cultivators back on and just leave them on, but at some point, I would like to be able to use the mower. I know ya'll cannot help right now since I can't be clear about what I am talking about not knowing the terminology, but hopefully I'l be able to ask questions after I get in those manuals. Thanks to all.

Welcome to the Forum. Are there any labels on the mower such as IH, Danco, Woods, etc.? In the PDF manuals you can find pictures of mowers and once identified, it will be easier to help you fix yours.

Also read on how to post pictures and you can show pieces of what your talking about and we can help identify what your looking at.

Hi,
Below is the 1955 Cub owner's manual. It has much info about operation, maintenance, and lubrication. The experts on here recommend reading it. There is a table of contents on page 1.

Below is the Cub 144 Cultivator owner's manual, if you need it. I don't know which cultivator you have, there are others also. The manual has lots of info.

Welcome! As BullDawg mentioned, pictures are a thousand words. When you get familiar with how to post pictures of the parts you are talking about, that would be great! Besides, we like to see the tractors too!

I wonder if she is talking about the drawbar and brackets where they bolt to the finals?

Stripped bolt thread holes can be repaired. Check helicoil or thread insert repairs.
