Very rare indeed. Perhaps the seller is the only one to have seen this type PTO guard. Dan

That looks like it was made from the cut off safety cap from an oxygen bottle. :twisted:

There was a factory guard but it didn't look anything like this one. J P's have had some of the original type reproduced. Maybe Jamie would like to show us a picture of one?

I think that PTO cover fits one of the elusive 1946 model cubs. :roll:

I didn't want to say anything but it is really the protective dome from a cub stealth locator antenna. :lol:

I had a half dozen of the PTO Guards in Jim's pic. Needless to say, I probably could have a dozen more or so made for his starting bid :!:

seems they work on most all Farmalls. i took one off an 'A' being auctioned at the farm and put it on my W6. same thing, i think.

Hey Rudi, did i remember you looking for an upper spring assembly for a 54A plow????????? I seem to have gotten one as part of a Mott D9 mower if you need it.

Now be careful Cub-Bud.
I have a lot of pictures of 1945 and 1946 Cubs and the documentation to prove that they existed. Of course they are all experimentals. :-)

And for the right money I'll build you one just to prove they existed. Just like the SHTA that was on Ebay.

Mike what do you think became of those? Maybe some of them were sold as 47's??? I was talking to a fellow at my IH dealer and he said he had a 46. I said I don't think so. He said yes. Then I pulled out my TM Tractor card with all the numbers on it and he looked and handed it back and said no more. The parts man said there may have been some. You think they stripped them down, melted them or what. Would some of them just been models made out of wood or something?

While I agree the first production Cubs offered to the public were '47s, there are a half dozen pictures of Cubs in the 'Farmall Cub Photo Archive' taken in 1945!

I haven't heard an explanation of what happened to these tractors.

That looks like one from a 1492 Fassey-Merguson with a 16 cyl radial engine.........or maybe from a Allmers-Chiss-Avery model LAX turbo.
