Great grandfather's 1947 Cub

[mshults47]

Starting to rebuild my great grandfather's 1947 Cub, serial number 9815. Unbelievable wealth of knowledge on this site...really given me the confidence to move forward with this project. Been snooping around the forum for months and figured it was time to join and say "Thank you!"

Welcome to the Forum. Let us know if we can be of any help. It's great that the Cub has stayed in the family that long.

Well, you're welcome! Glad you're here! Welcome to the Forum! So glad you received your grandfather's Cub--now yours!

Take some time and read through a few threads to acquaint yourself with the Forum:

• Welcome Wagon
• How to Upload Pictures to a Post
• Forum Picture Posting And Other Interesting Things You Can Do
• Using the Forum

Don't know if you have any of the manuals to your Cub, but after your 2nd post on the Forum, you'll have access to the all the PDF Manuals on this site. There’s a few ways to do that:

• From a desktop or laptop, go to "Quick Links" in the upper left corner of your screen. Hit that and a pull-down appears where you'll find "PDF Manuals".
• You can also go to “Cub Info” in the upper toolbar, then hit “Rudi’s Manuals”. From there, you can access a variety of information.
• If you're using a phone, go to the "Links Directory" (second category down the main page). Once in "Links Directory" , scroll down to the second section "Tractor Parts & Manuals" and you'll find them there.

You'll be able to download an Owner's Manual (very strongly recommended) and any service manuals that interest you. Implement Manuals are also available.

We’d encourage you to take the Safety Test located in the Safety Forum: http://farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=68084

Might also enjoy reading through this thread (even though it’s for a Cub, much can be applied to any tractor just brought home): What to do with a Cub you just brought home

No doubt you've already found good threads dealing with Cub repair and maintenance in the How To Forum. Located here: http://farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=11

Start a thread and post pictures of your restoration progress. We’d like to see it. It's also a great way to chronicle and ask your questions along the way--gives us a history of what you've been through to that point.

Remember:
• When you have a specific question, start a new thread in the appropriate sub-forum.
• Before posting, use the Preview button before hitting Submit--it'll show you exactly what your post will look like, including pictures.
• When adding your comments to a thread, be sure to look at the date of the last poster. If it’s more than a 6 months old, the posters are probably not going to see it. Consider starting a new thread.

Glad you joined us.

Hello I have a 1949 cub that looked almost Identical to this when I started refurbishing it and it started right up after sitting for 27 yrs

I applaud you new members who have found Cubs and got them running. That’s what this forum is all about. Welcome!

Welcome to the Forum.
I hope you primed the oil pump before you ran it for any length of time. 27 years without blood in the veins.
