I sort of inherited what I believe is a 1953 Farmall Cub with a crank start. I got it started one time about a month ago and rode it for a short while but haven't been able to get it started again.
I'm not mechanically inclined enough to get it going and need some help or I'm going to have to sell it - and I'd rather not.
If anyone has a suggestion re a mechanic or shop in northeast Florida (Daytona area) I'd sure appreciate it. In the meantime I'll work my wau through the web site and see if I can pick up any tips.

Re: 1953 Cub
Check out this post. Excellent advice and probably the answer to your questions. You can even bring your CUB and get excellent advice and help to deal with any problems you may be having. Meantime, post your specific problems on the FARMALL CUB Forum and you will get plenty of help to sort them out and fix the problem. The host, Mr. E, is top notch also.

Re: 1953 Cub
First of all, welcome to the forum!
Secondly, don't get discouraged or intimidated. If your Cub ran once, with help from the forum members, it can run again. I'd echo what Stan suggested above (about attending a CubFest) and the one Mr. E puts on in Sneads is top-notch. The list of annual CubFests is listed here: http://www.farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=8.
Please familiarize yourself with the resources at your fingertips:
--Welcome Wagon: http://www.farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=88707
--Manuals: links located across the top of each screen (PDF Manuals and Rudi's Manuals)
--How To Forum: http://www.farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=11
--You might pay particular attention to this How To: http://www.farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=145&t=16305 (it has some suggestions one may not think of doing, but are essential for a running Cub)
Hope all this helps. Remember, as you dig into your Cub, take digital pictures for your own records/memory and to share with us! Also, if you have any questions, start a new post over in the Farmall Cub forum. That's the main section where your questions will be read and answered.
Again, don't be discouraged! We're glad you're here!
