That doesn't even look like a cub.

It isn't a Cub, it just has the decal on it.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Yeah, I guess it's a Cub power unit. I am nor real familiar with those.

The chassis is a Oliver Cletrac OC-3. They were fairly popular with orchards due to their short stature.

The crawlers are pretty modular. There's a universal joint in between the clutch and transmission, so it wasn't hard to repower them when the origional Hercules engine gave out. That cub motor likely is a C60 baler motor.

I have a cub power unit BEGGING to be put on a OC3 crawler. Now I just need to find a crawler chassis to build from. Anybody know where a HG42 or OC3 is for cheap?

You guys are sharp! I just took it as a international TD-6. But I do recognize the girls in the photo from how to videos on Steiner Tractor Parts web page.

The farmall cub power unit is only about half the HP as the original IXB engine. The ford repower is about the same HP as IXB motor. Even a bit more power would be better.

Regardless, it's a professional-looking job. Looks nice. :coffee:
