New Canadian Member, Restoring our childhood Cub and a 100
Posted: Mon Oct 09, 2006 10:33 pm
My brother Harry and I (Rob) I had a Farmall Cub when we were young chjildren. We lived on a small tree nursery in the country om about 5 acres. Having lived relatively poor, the Cub was a great "toy" for us. We would work the feilds and sometimes just drive around, being one of few children able to drive something soooo big.
We decide we would like my kids and god-chlidren to be able to drive it again.
My brother did a semi restoration a number about 5 years ago but only ran it for a short time. He followed up by buying a Farmall 100 (I think that is what it is)
Fast forward to last week. My brother and I pull the tractor out of the feild and the 100 from a shed.
Today, we put a battery in and I cleaned, dissassembled and reassembled the carb and cleaned the glass fuel filter. Surprisingly, it came apart pretty and together easy.
Here is a picture of my brother and son Matthew (Almost 3 years old) He was a big helper!
With very little effort, it started almost right away!!:shock:
We took it for its maiden voyage after many years
I will try to add a picture
