Cub Literature

[Buggyscott]

Went out to the mailbox today and in it was a old brochure titled 'Part-time Farming with the Farmall Cub' that I had won on e-bay. In great shape, 16 pages and looks to be late 40's vintage. Gives specs on the cub and lists implements with pictures that were available at the time. No bush-hog type cutter listed. I figure these and perhaps a few more like it would be good to have with My Missey once we do a show or two. Yes I know the manuals are available new but this old sales literature seems to go well with the tractor. Got a real nice ad from Country Gentleman magazine from 1941 that I have framed and goes with the 41 H. Anyone have any ideas on how to display brochures so they can be enjoyed by others but protected from wear?

If it will fit,(depends on the size of literature) use an archival quality plastic comic book or magazine size cover. Check the label to see that the covers are acid free or you WILL destroy the inks on your papers......

If you intend to leave them with your tractors at shows and will not be around, I would suggest a display case with a slightly smoked glass top to reduce sunlight damage, or taking good quality color copies. My 48 had one of the original e shaped clips that was used to attach arms to the rockshafts that disappeared at either Mo. Red Power or Cubarama, I don't know which. I didn't realize it was missing until I strted reinstalling attachments afterward. I normally removed it before going to shows, but forgot to that time.

There will be a seminar on how to protect these papers at the Winter Convention.

Mike, I thought they closed Wisconsin sometime in November and moved everyone to the Alabama, Florida and Mississippi Gulf Coast till spring. At least that how the licience plates read at the motels and condos along the Gulf.
Just kidding and I have seen some of the promo ads in some of the magazines. Been there several times and loved it, however one word keeps me out of there in the winter, the S--- word.
