Farmall Cub

got both tractors back from the paint shop this past week.



it's a little interesting to have both in final stage assembly. there is a time savings in doing the same thing to both, but you have to be sure you actually did it on both..
They were painted with a water based urethane, which is all the body shop uses these days. I am impressed with the results.

This is what I started with (front tractor above) There was a pile of parts with it - some fit, some were for other tractors!



The B was just a pile of parts when it came in. 100 percent disassembled, some parts blasted and primed.

Looking good!!

Would love to see more pictures! Also, that paint job looks really slick. Did they paint them as i see them in the pictures, or did they dissasemble the tractors?

no that's how they came from the shop. they removed the tires and steering wheel in the booth

Looks good, Art. I,too, like the paint.

Lookin' good! You'll have 'em ready in no time. Thanks for posting.

Lookin Good !

Looking Good, I like the paint as well!

Wow, nice 'little' project you have there Art!

Paint looks awesome.

the B was complete except for a new fuel line, after taking care of a couple of coolant leaking issues. so last night I put the old fuel line on, a gallon of gas, and touched the starter. it was running in an instant I must have done sumtin' right

tonight perhaps my Super A will get it's turn

That's fantastic!! Let us know how the SA does...

fired up the Super AI tonight. damn, I might almost think I knew what I was doing! Almost

Awesome!!! Surely nothing better than having it fire and run the first time!

You're the man Art !!

project completed! well, except for a carb. I had three carbs Dad rebuilt last year to go on it. the one for the B works well, but the other two have hi-speed jet problems so i'll give them to him for rework.
