Cub FH implements on 140?

[Saucymynx]

I know this is a newbie question, and I did spend some time looking for an answer but haven’t come up with one. Will implements designed for a farm all cub one point fast hitch work on a 1970 farmall 140? I picked up at 140 last weekend and there is a 5 foot grader blade from a cub available nearby.

Thanks!

Yes, you can use the blade behind the 140. A plow for a Cub (194) won't work behind the 140 though, the beam is twisted for a Cub. Some other implements will interchange, some will not.

The blade, the middlebuster, and I >think< the two way FH plow will all interchange. Other third party implements like the Mechanical Transplanter will as well.

Thanks for the quick replies. Another question - is a 5 ft blade too small or the right size for a 140?

5 foot blade should work fine. The 1 point carry-all will also interchange.

Thank you Denny. I will try it out

Just remember, pto powered implements will NOT work without major modifications.

The blade for the A thru 140 is 60” (5’).
I’ve seen we’re people have widened their blades but that just puts more strain on the tractor. A narrow blade will push deep snow easier than a wider one. Sure you might have to make one more pass but it beats shoveling

Thanks for the feedback. I’m going to pick the blade up Saturday

Remember the 140 is quite a bit heavier than the cub, so the inertia is higher, and if you catch the blade on a rock, etc. while moving at any speed above medium throttle in 1st it could be hard on the blade since it was designed for the lighter weight cub.

I slid the 5’ scrape blade out of the Cub and into the 140 today.

 

[Saucymynx]

It looks like the size is a good fit. Are you able to get much tilt on the blade with the Fasthitch adjustment?

 

[Slim140]

I haven’t tried to adjust the tilt with it, I’ve only had the blade for a month or two. All I do is clean the goat lot where I feed hay cause the Ford with the loader is to tall to go in that shed.
