It's definitely not a Cub or a 200. Looks like a Super A to me. Might not be too bad. Replace the missing parts and sheet metal.

Looks like a 140. I don't know where he came up with that number for a serial number. 140s went up to around 65K. Looks like the serial plate is missing. It should be where that different color rectangle is, below the voltage regulator.

Ain't nothing to fix it up like new again! It'd only require a sandblaster, couple gallons of paint, sheet metal shop and/or a couple gallons of bondo, a gallon of WD-40, maybe a good welding rig, a pick-up truck load of parts, a fresh box of bandaids and 10,000 man hours.
That exhaust pipe sure looks like a plummer designed it! :P

Well its a diamond in the rough!!!!!! With a lot of elbow grease, some paint and some parts she could look like new again.

What year tractor would that be?

When i was restoring and selling gravely model L's i surely brought the dead back to life. It was great to hear them run again. I also repaired old magneto's too some were old edisons too they were the horizontal ones, they weren't uprite like the wico mags were.

I restored 25 vintage husqvarna dirtbikes too. The hardest thing was finding parts. I had the biggest husky junk yard in the country at one time. I even manufactured connecting rods from other dirtbikes that were close. Trust me that cub looks a lot easier to restore back to its orginal condition.

Little Indy, Big Red and Little Red are sure angry when they found out. They are hoping that somebody who loves old tractors took it in and gave it a good home

Richard for the above three.
