Don't have a Cub yet. Currently don't have any tractor. In 1989 I bought a Allis-Chalmers "C" with a 4' belly mower that I used to mow our 2 acre place in Western Kentucky. Sold it a few years later. We live in town now, but I really want to get another small tractor. A man who lives near me has a really nice 57 Cub with a belly mounted blade. My wife even likes it. We intend to move to Eastern Tennessee in a couple of years near our daughter and her family. Hope to get a place with a few acres. We will see...
I joined this forum to learn more about Cubs, especially implements that are available. Thanks.
 
If you want to experience the real Cub community, you are about 4.5-5 hours from one of the best cub gatherings (Cubfests), the Barnyard Bash, in Cincinnati, usually held the first weekend in June. Here is the list from this year's cubfests.

These events are a good chance to meet many of the super forum folks, and learn all about cubs. Many people bring their tractors, or parts thereof, to work on with the help of others. You would have a lot of fun, and maybe someone could bring a "new" cub for you, where you could tinker with it before taking it home!! (check out the free classifieds - the VINE)
:hattip: :tractor: :{_}:
 
Thanks Dale
I learned of this website from a post on yesterdaystractors.com. Back in 89 when I bought the Allis the internet was in its infancy and information about parts, attachments, etc. was hard to come by. I am glad someone with an interest in Cubs started this site and forums. I have other interests that include old Chevy, GMC, Dodge, IH and Studebaker trucks. I have owned three old Chevy Advance-Design trucks in the past and would love to get another one someday.
Thanks again for the welcome!

As Dale mentioned, You should check out the Barnyard Bash after Memorial Day. You are closer than half the folks who come. Mark your calendar now so you don't forget! http://www.barnyardbash.com
 
Welcome!

Take some time and read through a few threads to acquaint yourself with the Forum:

Now that you have 2 posts, you can access all the free PDF downloads in the Manuals section. They are located via "Quick Links" in the upper left corner of your screen. Hit that and a pull-down appears where you'll find "PDF Manuals". Through that link, you'll be able to download an Owner's Manual (very strongly recommended) and any service manuals that interest you. You'll be able to familiarize yourself with the Cub more quickly. Implement Manuals are also available.

Glad you joined us. Let us know if you have any questions.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome from you all.
The man who has the nice 57 Cub also has a 57 Cub parts tractor. It is rough and does not run, but appears complete. There is also a mower sitting on the ground behind the parts Cub. I think it is a Danco C-1 setup for a tractor without Fast-Hitch. I took a few pictures of that tractor and mower. They are not very clear and tall grass is all around. Maybe someone can help me identify it.
Thanks!

Frank, you might also want to keep Cubarama in mind for next year. http://www.cub-a-rama.com

Thanks for the link. I checked out the Cubarama. Looks like fun. And I am familiar with Fredericktown; my parents, who thankfully are still alive and well in their 80's, live about 60 miles south of there. It's about a 3 1/2 hour drive from where I live to Fredericktown. I think I will try to make it next year.
