I finally pulled the cub out of the barn

Postby xbartx » Sat Jun 14, 2014 9:40 pm

Year after year the hay bales blocked access to the cub in our barn and the barn was about to get filled again.
I got it out the day before the hay went up, I was surprised how well it ran and how easily it fired up after sitting years going unused.
My son and I have been doing some long needed maintenance on it and it's turning out to be a nice father and son project.
I took the hood off to get to the belts and generator. There was a lot of dirt an grim to try and clean up.
A couple hours of scrubbing and I have the bulk of the engine area fairly clean.

What I know or think I know about it, it is a 1948 cub and we have a 22 mower and 193 plow.
Looks to have been repainted at one time.

This new member really appreciates all the great info here and it has been really helpful.

Thanks for the welcome.
Yes, there is a lot of great information here!

I see a lot of really beautifully restored cubs here and think that would be great.
I just don't have the time or resources right now.
I just made some room for it under a covered area off the house that will give us easy access to it.
I should be able to run the tractor more frequently and It should fit in our garden shed during the winter.

I would like to spruce it up a little and I was trying to search for a thread about painting
a cub that wasn't totally taken apart and didn't have much luck.
Does anyone have a opinion on that or could point me to a thread that might be helpful.

Hi Brad!

Whether that tractor has been repainted in the past or not, it looks like a really nice worker. As Bigdog has said many times in the past, "Paint don't Pull!"... If you have a good runner and a fairly quiet tractor, just get the belts on, fluids topped up, and run it like you stole it! You'll be amazed at what that little tractor can do. I happen to LOVE cubs in their working clothes!!

How about tuchup with rattle can paint. Keep it from rusting till you are ready for a nice paint job.

Welcome to the Forum. This is the only to place to be when you own a Cub.

My advise is to do a lot of reading in the different areas. Download and print the manuals - it's just easier. We all like LOTS of pictures, so set up your restoration thread and get started. Enjoy....and welcome again.

For my Cubs a rattle can job would be "a nice paint job"! :shock: :D
