New Member saying Hello!

[Franky]

Hello looking all the information I can gather about an 1962 McCormick Farmall Cub. My Cub looks to be 100% original with some small rust issues but everyone has probably heard that story a million times. Looking forward to it & Thanks for having me.

So we have heard it many times, an original condition tractor is pretty special and we look forward to some pics. of it. Welcome to the forum, you should find what you need here.

Welcome to the Forum, Franky! How's everything down in sunny Florida?

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.

Is your '62 Cub new to you or have you had it awhile? If new to you, you might enjoy reading through this thread: What to do with a Cub you just brought home

There are a lot of good threads dealing with Cub repair and maintenance in the How To Forum. Located here: http://farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=11

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

Take some pictures of your tractor and post them, we’d like to see them.

Remember:

• When you have a specific question, start a new thread in the appropriate sub-forum (as I see you already have with your 1st post--thanks!)
• 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.

Hi,
The Cub owner's manual can help you learn about maintenance that the Cub needs.

Below is the 1959 Cub and LoBoy operator's manual. The experts on here recommend people read it. It has lots of info about operation, maintenance, and lubrication. There is a table of contents on page 2, and the index begins on page 46.
It shows how Cubs originally looked in it. The lube section begins on page 36.

http://farmallcub.com/rudi_cub/www.clea ... index.html

It shows the electrical system that a 1959, and 1962 Cub originally had.
Cubs made before mid 1964 originally had 6 volt, positive ground electrical systems.

The Touch Control uses Case IH Hy-Tran fluid. It is sold at Case IH dealers.
There are other brands, be sure it works with IH hydraulic systems before buying one.
The manual tells how to check and change the Touch Control fluid, and remove the air from the system.
Be sure to check the fluid with the arms in the rear, or down position, the manual says to also.

I would check or change all the oils before using the Cub. Using it with low oil in a gear housing can damage the parts in the housing.
The manual shows what oils to use.

There are 3 separate gear housings, with 3 separate oil levels to check, in the rear area of a Cub, the transmission, and 2 final drives.

The transmissions in Cubs commonly get water in them, from rain, or condensation inside the housing over time.

The air cleaner is an oil bath air cleaner. Dirt that is sucked in settles to the bottom of the oil cup. It should have clean, light motor oil in the oil cup to work right.

There is a search box at the top of the page, to the right of the Farmall Cub, you can find info in posts that have been made.

The 1955 Cub operator's manual has more info in it than the 1959 manual above.
The 1955 manual has 84 pages, and the 1959 manual has 50 pages.
If you need info not in the 1959 manual, you can look in the 1955 manual.
Page 29 is gone from the 1955 manual.

Thanks Y’All! Sorry, I had to do it at least once! As soon as I figure out how to post a picture I’m sure you will be telling me to stop posting so many pictures. Still just cleaning & assessing rust damage. Looks like There is no choice but to pull the head to get half of the valves unstuck. Still praying BP Blaster & turning it over a few times a day will get everything moving again. Again Thanks for having me & Good to meet y’all...
