Rescue Cub in Brazil

[indy61]

Yes, there are many photos of Louisville Works. It is totally gone now due to an airport expansion in the 1990's. I remember reading about environmental issues during demolition.

Remember, the tractor serial numbers matched the engine serial number early in production (1947), but at some point, they got separated and often they don't match.

What is the serial number of your tractor (from the plate near on the front bolster)?

Also check the casting codes/dates on the major parts. This will provide an other indication of year the tractor was built.

Parts got damaged and changed.

Hi,
Raymond Durban's Database shows that Cubs with engine serial numbers in the 135000's were used in 1951 Cubs.
The engine serial number is not the same as the tractor serial number, except on the first Cubs, in 1947.

Below is the Cub Database, in the 1st post on the page.

There are casting date codes on the larger castings on Cubs. They tell the date when the parts were made. They use a letter for the year.
Below is info from TM Tractor showing what the codes are.

The info below shows where the codes are.
The code on the clutch housing is usually partly behind the clutch pedal.
The code on the last part on the page, the steering gear housing, usually can't be seen with the tractor assembled.

Remember, the tractor serial numbers matched the engine serial number early in production (1947), but at some point, they got separated and often they don't match. . . .

Note that (from the Cub database) the numbers only seem to match for about 2 months from the mid-May start until sometime in mid-July. Then the engine numbers leap forward by about 300 units. In the jumble that begins in mid-July, they are all over the place. This includes several there the engine number is less than the serial number. It isn't even safe to assume that there was no out of sequence engine use before mid-July.

Wow now that's craftsmanship on those wheels!! Those would be scrap here or used to cut pieces out like you needed there for patches.

 

[SamsFarm]

My bet is there is not many cub wheels floating around in Brazil like there is here!

Be interesting to know how many cubs there are in Brazil!
