Inheritance

[tjmonk]

I have inherited a 19?? Farmall Cub with a C-3 Rotary Mower, a Leveling and Grader blade, a Belt Pully and Power Take-off Attachment and a International 7 Tilt-Bed Trailer. I am sure I will be needing parts and help as soon as I figure out what I have.

Welcome aboard. For starters, find the serial number of the Cub. With the serial number you [or we] can determine the date of mfg. There were lots of incremental changes through the years.

Welcome to the Forum, TJ! Congratulations on inheriting your first Cub. Not knowing the circumstances of how it came to you, none the less, you have our condolences.

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 after your 2nd post on the Forum, 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.

Might also enjoy reading through this thread: What to do with a Cub you just brought home

There are a lot of good threads dealing with Cub repair and maintenance in the How To Forum

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

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

There should be a serial number plate, located on the front, right side of the tractor where the steering rod connects to the front end. That number may be entered in the "What Year is My Cub?" category located here: http://farmallcub.com/phpBB2/app.php/page/cub-information

There are also casting dates on your cast iron pieces that you may cross reference here: http://www.tmtractor.com/id/id_001.htm

Remember:
• When you have a specific question, start a new thread in the appropriate sub-forum. Since this is more introductory, we're moving this thread over to the Introduce Yourself sub-forum, but any specific questions about your Cub, you can start a new thread in the Farmall Cub section.
• 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.

Welcome tj.
The Cub you inherited has a song to sing.
One of it's history and prior use.

As you get more familiar you'll likely appreciate it's design , and that history. Why it was chosen by it's former owner ect..
Take your time. It's a patient tractor. And a great little worker. Even if sometimes work is only some putting around on it , just because you can...
