I just recently bought a 49 Farmall Cub. It's in really great original condition. The paint is worn but is still great. It runs really great. I just need to do some minor tune ups on it to have it running very smoothly. I'm planning on taking it to many shows and I just recently joined a tractor club. Is there anything suggestions that yall would have for me so i can make this tractor the greatest thing ever?
I would appreciate anything
Thanx
Amanda

First of all, I can only say from experience that to keep reading the posts on this the best forum on the web is one of the best ways of finding out about the really wonderful little big-hearted tractor called CUB.
Welcome as an owner of a Cub and as a member of this board, it's great to have you alongside us all who all have the same interest, even a bit worldwide!

Best wishes, hope to read your future posts, if possible don't forget to put some photos up for view,
Pat

Amanda - nobody says it better than Rudi in his welcome speech. As one of the board moderators let me also welcome you to the forum. If you haven't already checked out the links etc. Take the time to do so. It will give you many ideas and we will give you any help you need. Since you are located in Missouri, we'll expect to see you at Cubarama this September. Join us at the Farmallcub.com pavilion and get to know some of the members.
So, without further ado, here it is:

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 :!:

Ok, so here is the spiel

:

I would suggest that you read this thread: New Members and Visitors, Please READ. 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 are intended to complement the businesses who support FarmallCub.com Website.

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.

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.

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

to the Cub Family

just wanted to say thank you to everyone. Ever since i got on here everyone has been so nice and helpful. It's really great that everyone is willing to help others out like that. I'm a 17 year old female and I'm not used to so many people being so helpful and so nice with things. I really do appreciate it and I'm really looking forward to getting to know some of yall on here. Hope to maybe meet some of you at cubarama!

17 years old? I've got socks older than that. Wonder if we should introduce you to Scotty D (16).

TractorChick · Postby **TractorChick** » Wed Jul 27, 2005 9:36 pm

yeah i'm only 17, will be 18 in January. I'm open to meeting anyone, no matter what age. I love to talk to people. I'm really big into streetrods/hotrods (have 3 of them plus a street machine), so this tractor has been a really great addition to the family.

Hey Amanda...WELCOME to the WONDERFUL WORLD of Cubbin' :wink:

!!! You say you've got 3 street rods too :shock:

? Tell us about them (I've got a 1930 Ford Model A 5-window coupe with a 350 Chevy Corvette in it!) :wink:

Any gal 17 years old with all those toys has GOT to be a HIT with the BOYS! :wink:
