Forget Bird Flu, I've got Cub Fever!

[Tractor Tom]

I am not even finished with my first Cub restoration and I bought another project Cub. I should have known this Cub collecting is contageous, I read in this forum all the time about folks with multiple Cubs. If I got the instructions down, I will post a picture below. The po was planning on rebuilding it but lost interest. He had already bought a rebuilt motor and new tires all around (not on the tractor yet). An odd note about the motor, even though the guy is a mechanic he didn't want the bore out the worn original engine so he bough a complete engine with a standard bore. I checked the old motor, looks like a .010 overbore would have taken care of it, go figure. The crank is still standard and in good shape so I wound up with some extra parts. The tractor has a mid mounted grader blade and a double rear weight set and front wheel weights too. Fortunately, I don't see any cracks from the possible hard use of a blade. I checked the serial on the chasis and the motor and I belive they are 1949 and 1956, respectively (but I maybe already confusing my Cubs), I guess I will have to name them.
