Need a Repair shop/person in western Mass

Postby marshall » Sat Jun 11, 2022 7:59 am

My 1950 Cub has so many problems at this point that I just can't keep up with the repairs and its broken down in a field that really needed mowing where it's looking like it will sit for weeks before I have time to devote to troubleshooting whatever went wrong.

I'm in western Massachusetts. Does anyone know of a resource for getting repair work done?

Hi Marshall,

Try reaching out to Tim known as TST on this forum. He is in eastern NY and works on Cubs all the time. If you were near Westport MA a bunch of guys I know work on Cubs as well. Probably bad gas and fuel issues then some tuning up.

Sounds like for starters you need to get someone to give you a tow and get it out of the field and up by (or in) your garage or barn

That's cool Tom. Great offer. And for the record I also would be more than willing to run by and see if I could be of any help....but the little distance thing between your location and mine doesn't help that situation.

I’ve heard good things about Tractor Restoration services in Sandown NH. The Man I bought my cub from brought it there twice a year. I haven’t been there but the mechanic Jim Ange wrote good descriptions in the receipts.
