Good morning,

I am the proud new owner of I 1959 Farmall Cub restored several years ago. On a recent start up, the engine had no oil pressure. I look forward to getting it home and getting that problem corrected. I have owned several tractors, but none like the Cub. A disk plow, belly mower and rear cultivators came with the tractor. I will be looking for implements to use in a large garden.

Welcome to the FORUM. First thing to try is prime the oil pump. Check the HOW TO subforum for details.

Hi,
Don't run the engine without oil pressure, it will damage the engine, maybe you knew already.
The engine oil pump can lose its prime sitting.

Below is a post I made telling how to prime the engine oil pump. My post is about half way down the page. The pic was from someone else.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the Forum, sdavis! Congrats on your '59 Cub.

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

Now that 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 for maintenance and understanding your Cub) and any service manuals that interest you. Implement Manuals are also available.

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 Make sure if the Cub hasn't been started in a while (months or years) that you prime the oil pump or at least watch the oil gauge to ensure you have adequate pressure. Here's a How To on priming the oil pump: How to Prime the Oil Pump

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

We’d encourage you to take the Safety Test located in the Safety Forum: Circle of Safety Test and Profile Badge

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

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.

Thanks for the help guys. I look forward to interacting with y'all more on the forum. Does anyone know a place close to me to look for equipment? I want to garden with my Cub.
