Hi everyone. I just joined the forum. Bought a 1957 (I think) low boy. It has a working plow and also a woods 59 mower( need to figure out how to hook that up yet) Never had a tractor before but have worked on old air cooled VWs for many years in the 60's/70's . I hope this will make it easier for me to maintain this new family member. We recently moved to a home with 5.5 acres which is more than we have ever had.

This site looks like a treasure trove of info on these critters. I guess I will be reading a lot in the near future.

A 57 cub that is older than you? WOW, you must be a kid compared to many of us. I have a 47, 48, 49, and only the 47 is older than me. :lol: Welcome to the forum.
If you are not part of the solution,
