Hello. I Have A Question About The PTO.

[FuryIII]

hello. i just regestered. i bought a cub sunday that i found on http://www.craigslist.com for $1500. the serial number is 1800. it has a fast hitch, a drawbar, hydraulics, and a woods 42" belly mower. runs excelent with no smoke or rattles and starts very easy. it has been converted to 12V. im pretty excited to say the least.

i found this sight by doing a google search. i spent several hours yesterday reading and learning from all you fine folks. you have a great forum here to say the least.


now for my question. does anyone have or can i get a diagram of an exploded view of the transmission? the reason im asking is because when i put the PTO in gear it just growls when i let completly off the clutch. if i ride the clutch it will work. i want to fix this myself.


im no tractor expert by any means. but ive alway been very mechanicaly inclined. that is to say, if i take something apart i can usually get it back together and working.


P.S. ill post a picture as soon as i get the chance to take some.


thanks in advance,
Ronnie

Look again at the serial plate. That 1800 may be the engine RPM. The serial number might be above that and very faint embossing in the plate.

Welcome to the club, Ronnie. This site is as addicting as the Cubs themselves . You might as well start saving your money for Cub number 2

The best advise I was given was to get all the manuals.... So I will share the old farmer's wisdom once again.

Rudi will be along to give you the formal welcome... and point you in the right direction of the many manuals he as painstakingly put up on the net.

Seriously I can't tell you how useful having the paper ones close at hand is. If you have a dealer nearby they will be able to get them for you. I got them from Carter and Gruenwalt in Brooklyn, WI where the parts guys are great. The operator's, service and parts manuals cover all Cubs and Lo Boys and will set you back about $100 with shipping.

Enjoy your new Cub!

Welcome!

Fury III, that name's a blast from the past. I had a 67 Plymouth Fury III MANY moons ago.

FuryIII:

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

Interesting name that.. I have fond memories of a Plymouth FuryIII I think it was a 72.. wrap around front bumper.. built like a tank.. 318 V-6, great cab... oh yeah.. I drove cab to help pay the bills while I was in College.... funny thing about that wrap around bumper.. sure can open up a Oldsmobile 98 from arse2teakettle in a hurry.. no.. DON'T ask ... suffice to say.. it was different.

Bertha is an late 1947 Cub.. No Circle on that one... I bet you are going to have a hard time just having one Cub. My first was a 1948 - mid year production.. probably around July.... my second was a sorry 51 and my 3rd was an early model 47. You picked a great tractor for your first one

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

thank you for the welcome. thank you for the advice. but mostly, thank you for the forum. im pretty sure im gonna need more advice and wisdom than i can offer until im around a while.



now i need some more first hand advice. when i take my PTO apart is there any "right" and "wrong" way to handle it? is it gonna fly apart or is it pretty basic stuff? ive been studying the diagrams and ive come to the conclusion that the shaft is either not engageing completly or that all the teeth are worn so badly it wont hold. am i going the right direction here?


ill ask a few more questions as i "bench" this around in my head. thanks again.

[Bigdog]

It's all pretty basic - nothing will fly apart. Have you read the cub FAQs on ATIS?

Especially page 2 - on the pto
