Cub grease gun?

Postby double R » Sat Mar 18, 2006 6:10 pm

What does the grease gun for the Cub look like. I got a old one today and I think it might be one of the original ones for my Cub.

double R:

First, Image to the greatest forum on the internet, and to the Cub Family. You will find that all the folks on this forum are kind, helpful and just full of Cub info and knowledge. They also happen to be the finest folks I have ever met :!: :D


I guess I missed your original post, so, I will post the Welcome Wagon message now. You can find many of the answers to a lot of your questions in the links below.

For example:

What does the grease gun for the Cub look like. I got a old one today and I think it might be one of the original ones for my Cub.


The answer to that can be found on TC-37F Revision 3 - Group 02 - Miscellaneous - Page 02-02.

I found this one on eBay after a quick search:

Ok, so here is the spiel Image:

I would suggest that you read this thread: New Members and Visitors, Please READ Prior to Posting. There are many great links to informative pages such as the ATIS FAQ's 1 and ATIS FAQ's 2, The Best of H.L. Chauvin who has written very interesting articles on troubleshooting common problems with your Cub.


Also, you might want to visit the Cub Manual Server as there is tons of info on servicing, maintaining and re-building your Cub. In addition to this basic information, there are also a number of other useful tools available on the server. There is the Specialty Services page which has contact info for neat stuff like getting your seats recovered, buying quality Decals, Serial Number tags and a host of other neat items. Also there are the Parts Pages - both Used Parts Suppliers and New Parts Suppliers pages with links to quality dealers. I am always looking for YOUR favourite dealers for New and Used Parts to include here. These are intended to complement the businesses who support FarmallCub.com Website.

I would also recommend that you visit Binder Books and purchase the three most important manuals you can own for Maintenance, Repair and Rebuilding your Cub. These are the Owner's Manual, the GSS-1411 Service Manual and the TC-37F Parts Manual. Although they are available on the Cub Manual Server, it is better is you also have your own paper copy. Binder Books is the only Authorized IH Publication Reprint House and they have the best quality manuals available. Most other's are not of the same quality. Just a personal thought here, the I&T Shop Manuals, although helpful in some areas, really are not sufficient for the job. If you wish though, they are good additional reference works.

IF you really want to get the skinny on all things Cub, might I suggest you get a copy of Ken Updike's Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet's :?: . Along with Guy Fay's Letter Series Originality Guide, these are two must have's in anyone's collection.

In addition to the above information, don't forget to check out the various articles that are available to help with your Repair, Restore, Rebuild or just your Maintenance Projects. There are a number of sub pages such as Electrolysis or Rust Zapper's, Maintenance Tips, Jigs and Techniques, Implement and Part Sketches and of course the Paint, Decals & Other Finish Questions which has the Paint Chart and the Paint Committee Decisions links.

I truly hope that you enjoy your Cub and that you will be a frequent contributor to the forum. Again, Image to the Cub FamilyImage :D

double R: There is a second type of grease gun which varies slightly in appearance. Instead of having a circle to grasp when retracting the plunger it has a straight rod with a pin mounted crosswise at the end of the rod. The pin, rather than a circle, serves as a handhold to retract the plunger. I believe that both types will have "Lincoln Lubrigun" printed on the head. Does this describe the gun which you purchased?

Double R, Does it have a patent number along with date?
1975 cub (LouAnn) serial # 245946, 1941 John Deere Model H

Postby double R » Sun Mar 19, 2006 4:19 pm

Sorry fellows I got off of the forum shortly after posting. I went out and looked and the grease gun has a plunger that screws in and on the plunger end says Alemite Lubricator-Bassick Mfg. Co. Chicago Pat. June 10 - June 21 - 1918. I was wrong about the 1912 pat. date but I was tired. double R
