Your picture must be on a web photo host in order for the link to work. The Cubfest photo host link at the top of this page is an excellent place to use. If you are having trouble working through the steps, e-mail the photo to the e-mail listed in my profile and I will assist you.

If it is a green tractor, that also may be why the photo will not work on this site.

tomcat:

First, to the greatest forum on the internet, and to the Cub Family. You will find that all the folks on this forum are kind, helpful and just full of Cub info and knowledge. They also happen to be the finest folks I have ever met

You may find the All About Posts and Forum Questions Section of the [url=http://farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=17987]How To Work on Your Cub - Maintenance Tips and Techniques
[/url] articles to be of help here in posting the pics. You will find that you only have the file name there and not the actual url address. You need to have the address of the pic on the net. You cannot link to a file on your computer. Also, ensure that there are no spaces between the end of the open [img]tag%20and%20the%20beginning%20of%20the%20close[/img] image tag.

Ok, so here is the spiel :

I would suggest that you read this thread: New Members and Visitors, Please READ Prior to Posting. There are many great links to informative pages such as the ATIS FAQ's 1 and ATIS FAQ's 2, The Best of H.L. Chauvin who has written very interesting articles on troubleshooting common problems with your Cub. One of the other projects we have been working on and it will be a continuing effort is the How To Work on Your Cub - Maintenance Tips and Techniques. This the the place to go to get all the quick links to some very good articles written by many members of the forum on solving some of the problems we encounter as we repair, maintain and up-grade our Cubs. Keep looking for this to grow.


Also, you might want to visit the Cub Manual Server as there is tons of info on servicing, maintaining and re-building your Cub. In addition to this basic information, there are also a number of other useful tools available on the server. There is the Specialty Services page which has contact info for neat stuff like getting your seats recovered, buying quality Decals, Serial Number tags and a host of other neat items. Also there are the Parts Pages - both Used Parts Suppliers and New Parts Suppliers pages with links to quality dealers. I am always looking for YOUR favourite dealers for New and Used Parts to include here. These pages are intended to complement our Official FarmallCub.com Website Sponsors:

JP Tractor Salvage
Ralph's Cubs
TM Tractor Parts

I would also recommend that you visit Binder Books and purchase the three most important manuals you can own for Maintenance, Repair and Rebuilding your Cub. These are the Owner's Manual, the GSS-1411 Service Manual and the TC-37F Parts Manual. Although they are available on the Cub Manual Server, it is better is you also have your own paper copy. Binder Books is the only Authorized IH Publication Reprint House and they have the best quality manuals available. Most other's are not of the same quality. Just a personal thought here, the I&T Shop Manuals, although helpful in some areas, really are not sufficient for the job. If you wish though, they are good additional reference works.

IF you really want to get the skinny on all things Cub, might I suggest you get a copy of Ken Updike's Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet's . While you are at it Original Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet is Ken's latest addition to the series. Along with Guy Fay's Letter Series Originality Guide, these are three must have's in anyone's collection.

In addition to the above information, don't forget to check out the various articles that are available to help with your Repair, Restore, Rebuild or just your Maintenance Projects. There are a number of sub pages such as Electrolysis or Rust Zapper's, Maintenance Tips, Jigs and Techniques, Implement and Part Sketches and of course the Paint, Decals & Other Finish Questions which has the Paint Chart and the Paint Committee Decisions links.

Oh, and while the program still lasts.. you might want to check the Announcement: Navistar Free Gas Cap Offer - On-Line Form thread at the top of the Cub Forum and send away for the new style safety cap before that program runs out as well.

I truly hope that you enjoy your Cub and that you will be a frequent contributor to the forum. Again, to the Cub Family

i ve been lurking around on the forum for some time, i am a member of several forums for cars and trucks and i havent had any problems posting pics. this one just threw me ! lol ill read some more. i sent the pics of my new item to bigdog hopefully he can post them in the meantime.


my wife owns the cub ( she makes me say that!)
we have a one row plow, a disk, a sicle bar mower, a bushog, and cultivators, and our newest is the manure spreader. its red and thats all i know about it . any input will be much appreciated!

[Bigdog]

Here you go. The other pics are on the photo host.

It looks a lot like a McCormick Model 200, built from 1940 to 1954. However, a few details look a little different: 1) style of the chain guards, and 2) wooden sides. Maybe it is a later model or simply a later version within the years it was made.

Value depends on condition. It looks pretty good, but condition of the apron chain is a big factor.

Spreader at Auction

This sure looks like the one tomcat has.. or at least very similar, moreso than the 200 yes???

[tomcat_37096]

that one is quite a bit newer than the one i have. i found a model 200 it looks a little like mine . was there a model 100?

[Bigdog]

Yes, there was a Model 100. It works well with a cub.

McCormick 100 Manure Spreader - 1948 Model manual and the McCormick 100 Manure Spreader - 1950 manual.

The 101 in the picture has some pretty fundamental differences from the one tomcat has: the hitch, the lever bundle, the wide spread, no support over the top. Overall, I think his looks a lot more like the #200.

did you notice that in the manual and the picture of the mystery spreader the tires are on backwards? I have seen potato farmers do the same in sandy soil. I also was looking at a redpower magazine cover once that had a whole truck load of Farmall H's that had all of their rear tires on backwards.

[Bigdog]

Clem - the tires are not on backwards. That is the correct orientation for a ground-driven implement. The drag forces will help keep the mud cleaned out of the tread for better "traction".

[Jim Becker]

The mystery spreader has one each way. The one on the cover of the manual is correct.
