Farmall Cub

Hello, my name is Jody and I’m from Oklahoma. I have 2 Cubs. One is a ‘48 that was my Dad’s and mine is a ‘49 that I bought in Washington state when I lived there. I was around the Cubs a little bit with my Dad when I was younger but after being away from home for 20 years I forgot most of what I ever knew about them. I’ve read quite a bit on the site as a guest and I’ve learned a lot from talking to my Uncle.
This past Friday and Saturday I went to my first Cubfest at the NE Oklahoma meet. It was more fun than I could have imagined. Meeting people in person is SO MUCH better than just online. I was able to sit with the “Carb Doctor” Bob and learn a lot from him. It was cool to watch him work and to be able to pick his brain as he worked. Attending the Cubfest was a fantastic “official welcome” into the Cub family.
I appreciate all of the work that has went into creating this forum and the database of info for newbies such as myself.
I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible.

Welcome aboard Jody!! You'll find that this is the greatest Cub website on the planet!! I'm glad you made it to a Cubfest and met some of the crew. Don't be a stranger on here, join in the discussions. We all learn something every day on this forum.

Don't pick Bob's brain too much...he needs all he has!!

Check out the HOW TO section, my favorite! You'll find solutions to many of the problems that tend to occur with these tractors.

Glad you had the opportunity to attend one of the best Cubfests. The Barnyard Bash in Ohio would be a good excuse for a nice road trip!!
Welcome and have fun!

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the Forum! It was so good to meet you last Saturday in Dewey.

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

• Welcome Wagon
• How to Upload Pictures to a Post
• Forum Picture Posting And Other Interesting Things You Can Do
• Using the Forum

Don't know if you have any of the manuals to your Cub, but once you’ve logged your 2nd post, you'll have access to the all the PDF Manuals on this site. There’s a few ways to do that:

• From a desktop or laptop, go to "Quick Links" in the upper left corner of your screen. Hit that and a pull-down appears where you'll find "PDF Manuals".
• You can also go to “Cub Info” in the upper toolbar, then hit “Rudi’s Manuals”. From there, you can access a variety of information.
• If you're using a phone, go to the "Links Directory" (second category down the main page). Once in "Links Directory" , scroll down to the second section "Tractor Parts & Manuals" and you'll find them there.

You'll be able to download an Owner's Manual (very strongly recommended) and any service manuals that interest you. Implement Manuals are also available.

We’d encourage you to take the Safety Test located in the Safety Forum: http://farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=68084

Might also enjoy reading through this thread (even though it’s for a Cub, much can be applied to any tractor just brought home): What to do with a Cub you just brought home Don't forget to prime the oil pump before starting.

There are a lot of good threads dealing with Cub repair and maintenance in the How To Forum. Located here: http://farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=11

Take some pictures of your tractors and post them, we’d like to see them.

Remember:
• When you have a specific question, start a new thread in the appropriate sub-forum.
• Before posting, use the Preview button before hitting Submit--it'll show you exactly what your post will look like, including pictures.
• When adding your comments to a thread, be sure to look at the date of the last poster. If it’s more than a 6 months old, the posters are probably not going to see it. Consider starting a new thread.

Glad you joined us.

Ricky, Dale, Mike, and Stanton,
Thank you all for the welcome.
Stanton, it was great to meet you too. Thank you for all the good info and direction. I have several of the manuals that came with my Cub when I bought it.
