You need to resize the picture. This can be done using the Paint program in Windows pretty easily. Resize it to 800 pixels width and the file will be very small but still have enough quality to make out the detail.

Mechanically, it is entirely possible to build a "reverse" Cub. The famous Tricycle Cub has 50% of the work done already.

Just another possibility, maybe the "left hand" cub was built for the English export market where they drive on the right side of the highway. Could be the reason they are so rare in the US. :lol:

I've been thinking about this, and it really should be considered a RIGHT-handed Cub.

A conventional Cub is the perfect tractor for a left-handed person such as myself. All the controls that require fine motor skills are accessible to your left hand.

All other tractors, except maybe IH's 86 series, discriminate against lefties (cue Glory-Glory-Halleluiah). I've had to adapt to right-handed tractors all my life, which is even more difficult for me because I have poor vision out of my right eye (cue the sad violin music).

I'd REALLY like to see this thing. Can you email the picture to someone?

To fix the file to large issue open the picture using windows paint. On the home tab on the left hand near the top, you should see "paste" , "select" and right beside "select" is "resize." Click resize. Click the "pixels" button and type 800 in the horizontal box. The vertical should change automatically. Click "OK" and save the image using "Save As" using a new file name. Upload that new file name to the forum for all to enjoy!!

I have a reference book with a reversed picture (to make it look better). Whole line of IH products in one of the better books. Just don't remember which one.

I have a few of the Wigle ads now .. but still have yet to see anyone anywhere post a pic of one outside of yours. I think I posted the pic of that hoeing attachment years ago .. will have to go look and see .. might be worth bringing it back up front..

That one is definitely a case of the picture being reversed. IH never built anything like that.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

This whole thread is just a hoot. Thanks for the q∩Ɔ ˥˥∀Wɹ∀Ⅎ picture to top it off! Now that I think of it, maybe they made one that was upside down too?

IH 100 130 140 are left (right) or whatever handed also. What else would you expect fro a Cub's big brother.
