Hi everyone! I've been a member for just a hand full of months and I've poked my way around the forum a bit so figured it was time to say "hello".

I am working on a 1950 Cub that has been in our family since 1951. My grandfather bought it as a trade-in from his brother-in-law who owned L.W. Greenwood & Sons in East Randolph, VT. From there it came down to western MA where it has lived since. The tractor was used around a small acreage farm, mowed the lawn and was called upon in the winter to plow snow. My dad had it restored about 30 years ago and it currently is going through some light rehabbing by my son and I to tune up some worn parts and cosmetic items.

Still need to troubleshoot the charging system and change the oil in the rear end but here is a pic of where we currently are:

It's nice to have it running again after about 20 years in storage.

I am looking forward to learning more from you folks and hope to share my experiences and knowledge when I can.

Thanks for looking!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on having an authentic, priceless family heirloom cub. It looks like it's been well cared for, magneto is still intact, battery box complete, cosmetics look great. Looks like the original style "turkey track" rear tires too! Obviously something that you're proud to have and rightly so. Thanks for sharing the pic to complement the northeast fall foliage.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Here’s a couple more pics of the Cub back in the late 90’s before it was restored. It had been tucked away in a garage for about 25-30 years at that time. These are pictures of pictures so they’re a little grainy.

It sure has come a long way since then...
