Thanks for accepting me. I grew up mowing our lawn and other parts of the farm on my dad's Cub. That tractor is long gone but I just purchased a "new" 1976 model. Will take a while to get used to the yellow and white but as soon as I fix a few things I"ll once again be mowing on the same farm.

Re: New guy
Hi,
The Cub operator's manual can help you learn about maintenance that the Cub needs.
Below is the operator's manual for Cubs serial number 248125 and above. 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.
It shows how Cubs originally looked in it. The lube section begins on page 50.
https://farmallcub.com/rudi_cub/www.cle ... index.html
It shows the electrical system that Cubs serial number 248125 and above originally had, with the Delco alternator.
248125 and above originally have the Zenith carburetor too.
They have said on here that IH didn't make a new manual every year.
The Touch Control and other things use 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.
Check the Touch Control fluid with the arms in the rear, or down position, the manual says.
The manual shows what fluids to use where.
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.
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 at the top of the page, to the right of the Farmall Cub, you can search for info in posts that have been made.
There seems to be a page of the contents gone from the manual, page 2 says continued, and begins with items on page 39.
Good luck with the Cub.
