Cub weight

[perry hart]

I am in need of the weight of a cub tractor, with hydraulics and no equipment attached (or operator). I have not found it in my manuals or in the specs on this site. Thanks Perry

Approx 1430 pounds, add 300 for weights or fluid in tires.

Jim, thanks for your reply. For future reference, how do I access the FAQ? I had clicked on the ?FAQ at top of page and it brought up Cub Forum Index, even with several different attempts. It was only through your post and clicking on the address you included that I got access. Perry

John provided the link & you might want to put it in your favorites.
It is not part of farmallcub.com.

Perry,
The ?FAQ at the top of the page is, as you discovered, for questions on using this web site. I keep the address of the Cub FAQ in my list of "favorites" in my web browser.

The more general answer on how to find it is:

1) Look at the forum index for the "Farmall Cub" forum on this site. (This message is in the Farmall Cub forum.

2) The second entry in that index is "Announcement: New Members and Visitors, Please READ Prior to Posting". Click on it.

3) Look at item 1 in the list "Information a Cub Owner Should Read".

Now that you have found that message, you should read the whole thing.

Perry:

Also, you will find all that info below in the Welcome Wagon......

Most of the links are also available on the main page of the Cub Manual Server..

The thread Jim pointed to as well as the Manual Server.. all have these links.. which I even have in my favourites in my browser... One never knows when One needs access to this stuff..

Enjoy the links:

First, 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

Ok, so here is the spiel :

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 the 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 . While you are at it Original Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet is Ken's latest addition to the series. Along with Guy Fay's Letter Series Originality Guide, these are three 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, to the Cub Family
