tman:

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

Two really quick answers. Wait for replies from members in your area. but would recommend that you post your needs over in the For Sale / Wanted, or See the list of site sponsors below. Course this is based on the assumption that by wheels you mean rims. If however you mean Tires.. then Miller Tire and Tucker Tire's eBay Store may provide you with what you need. Also most Ag Tire suppliers can handle your needs as well such as your local CaseIH Dealer.



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 pages are intended to complement our Official FarmallCub.com Website Sponsors:

JP Tractor Salvage
Ralph's Cubs
TM Tractor Parts

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.

Oh, and while the program still lasts.. you might want to check the Announcement: Navistar Free Gas Cap Offer - On-Line Form thread at the top of the Cub Forum and send away for the new style safety cap before that program runs out as well.

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

tman,
Welcome to the forum. I'm from NE Ga. near Gainesville. There are several other guys on this forum from all over the state. As far as this area there are 2 IH dealers nearby(and I use that term loosely) they are both about 2 1/2 hrs from me. One is in Cleveland, Tenn and the other is in Mansfield Ga. they can probably order rims or wheels but I would suggest Ralphs in Florence Ky. He can ship good used rims to you at a resonable price. We might even find a way to use the Farmall Cub Express to get the to you if your not in a big hurry. Sorry for the long post but if your not busy the weekend of Oct 6 &7 th come over to my place for the Stonethrow Cubfest..... checkout the announcements for more info

tman.....I am located in Valdosta,Ga. and there is a used tractor parts dealer in Pavo,Ga. located approx 35 miles N.W. of Valdosta. I am not sure of the business name or the web site address..but I will verify and post soon. RadioRalph

[tman]

Thanks for the info. I'm about 25 miles south of Cleveland Tn and I've ordered parts from the Int dealer there before but they're a little proud of their parts if you know what I mean. But I'll check the other places yall told me about.

Picked up a rear wheel from JP several months ago, very pleased. It came off a '51. Going to put it on my '63 after final paint. Waiting in primer.
