New Cub owner

[Templet9016]

Good evening all, I just brought home today a 1949 cub (according to the serial number list i found online) with a mower attachment still in usable shape. I picked it up for what i believe was a fair deal from the great grand daughter of the deceased original owner. The machine is structurally in very good shape, lots of surface rust, in need of four new tires and a good tune up with fresh gas before I attempt to start it. This will be the first restoration I have attempted but am optimistic of its outcome. Hopefully this site will be a wealth of knowledge and maybe i can even lend a hand to a fellow member.

Welcome to the forum. Be sure to prime the oil pump before the first start. Lots of good info in the "how to" section. Let us know if you have any questions.

Welcome to the Forum! Congrats on getting your Cub!

When you have some time, 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

You only have one post, but after you’ve logged 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

As Bob mentioned, 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

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. Don't hesitate to start a new thread over in the Farmall Cub section if you have a question.

Remember:

• Pictures are limited to 500 KB file size. Use an image reducer app or program to downsize pics.
• 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.

Thank you very much, I was just testing on how to post a picture in the sandbox forum (I think is the appropriate place to try that) and couldn’t get it but the instructions you just shared helped already. Glad to be here thank you.
