Same filter. Some come with a gasket, others don't. You might want to check when you get one.

I could not say tractor when I was 2 years old so I called it Err Err.

I loved this tractor then and I still love it now.

You would probably be better off to find out what the mower you have fits, sell it and buy a woods 59 that fits a Cub

John2189,
You are probably right. I'm hoping I can just find the parts and make this one work since I already have it. I may have to go your route.

You could probably buy a complete mower for what it would cost to buy all the brackets and stuff (if you can find them, or close enough so you don’t have to pay for shipping) to make yours work.

That woods 59 is set up for a Farmall A. Rear arms will rub rear tires on cub if I remember right, I had to widen a cub when I rigged an A mower on it

Will the C-3 work better?

Thanks

A 59C and a C-3 are basicly the same mower, (but each one made slightly different)!

The 59C made by Woods, and the C designates it for a Cub.

The C-3 made by (or for) International for the cub and cub Lowboy!

If I remember right, the 59C has spindles and blades that spin in the opposite direction as the other Woods 59 mower decks.

Last I knew Woods had the manuals online.

They are probably in the manuals section here under the "quick links", pretty sure the C-3 is anyhow

You might try Burch Store Tractors. I have never dealt with them but they seem to carry many mower parts for Cubs.
This is an example and may not be what you need.

Hi,
Below is the operator's manual for the IH C-3 Mower. It has lots of info, there is an introduction on page 3.
