That double end knife will fix your problem. All of our sickle bar mowers had them. Thank you for your videos. Brings back fond memories of my life on the farm.
I’ve been happy with that double-sickle section for sure! I guess back in the day IH actually made a triple-sickle section! Glad you like our videos! Thanks for watching!
Great job on explaining everything! Your small modifications to the mower are perfect.
Hi Blue Creek-thanks for this video, it's worthy of a TED talk.! Your clear presentation saved me time and frustration while reinstalling the 22 mower I just restored on my 1948 FA Cub.
tonis Glad we could help! In fact, it’s about time to put my mower back on myself. And, I just took the snow plow off! Thanks for watching!
Wow what a well designed machine for the time. Talk about necessity is the mother of invention. I saw a Cub for sale that got me reading about them and wanting one, what cool machines they are. Great video
We really love the Cub! It really is a great tractor!
I think the touch control bracket is called a rock shaft.Great video. Thanks for posting.
Great video!!!
Thanks! Glad you liked it and visited our farm!
Those old cubs were great tractors. My grandfather had one that he used for everything from plowing the lane to plowing the garden and some of the smaller fields. This was before roundup and no till corn so culivators were used to keep the weeds down until the corn was too high..
We love our Cub! Even though we have a bigger, newer tractor, the Cub still earns her keep on our farm. Thanks for watching!
They work good for clipping pastures
Nice job on the wheel 👍
Awesome
Thank you for the video I have several of the sickle mowers and parts I'm going to try to build 1 good one out of the parts I have. I want mine to cut around pond and under some fences
farmall1 farmall1 Sounds like a great project! If you need new parts, I’ve had good luck with Webb Cutting Components. Sickle bars are great for mowing fencelines, just stay vigilant... when a Sickle section encounters a “t” post, the post usually wins!
@@vnthomas16 thanks for the tips I subscribed
great stuff for me. how do you think the cub22 on a slope cutting grass would do?
Locktight and proper torque will prevent bolts from loosening up.
Is that a Coast Guard sweat you have on? I was in the USCG, but retired from the Army as a watercraft technician (MK). I also noticed the watch band; and yes I have a 53 Cub, and love the machine! Great Video, clear and concise! I also located your sweat, the CGC Swordfish, Semper Paratus! I subscribed!
Yes indeed! Retired 2 years ago as a BMC. Virginia is a CG vet too… QM. Glad you enjoyed the video! The Cub is great! We use it for so much around the farm. It’s indispensable!
Great video! Can you tell me size and type of bolts used to mount to belly of tractor? Mine keeps coming off no matter how much torque I use. The inside of hooks are beveled. I can tell if it’s from wear or supposed to be that way
Heat Em Up Kennels, I believe it’s a 5/8” bolt, that said, it is a special “IH implement bolt” that has a cone shaped head. The mower bracket is indeed supposed to have the bevel. If you haven’t already, you should check out the forum at farmallcub . com. Lots of good info there. I’m sure someone there could give you a source of supply for the implement bolts.
Blue Creek Dairy Farm WA thanks very much. I will get one. I enjoy watching your videos
Very informative video. Everything patiently explained. I have a question you probably haven't experienced as you are young and strong enough to handle the cutter bar and the coupling bar in one piece. Since I am 30 years older than I was the last time I used my Cub 22 mower, I would like to disconnect the two and mount them one at a time. But I can't figure out how to get them apart. Only one pin is removeable and that is where the problem lies. There is not enough clearance to jockey them apart. Any ideas that I am not thinking of to solve this problem?
Hmmmm... Not sure. I don’t think they were designed to be taken apart with regularity or ease. I’ve heard of folks needing presses to separate them. One thing I’ve seen people use is a flat furniture dolly. They balance the sickle bar on it and then just roll the whole thing under the tractor. I might try that. Good luck!
@@vnthomas16 Thanks for the effort. I was thinking they are not made to come apart. But then I noted on a spare "for parts" mower that I have in an old shed that it has been taken apart and has been left in two pieces. But you are probably right: They are not made to be taken apart very often. Seems odd, but then these mowers were designed and built in a time when few jobs were done by one man working alone. There was usually a family member or a neighbor who could be called upon to help with "two-man jobs."
I'm looking for one of these for my 1971 Cub if anyone knows where I could find one for sale.
Your video was very through. Would like the spelling on the place you purchased the grass board?
The grass board was the “clean sweep” from Kosch Co. It has served us well.
How does this compare to a typical lawnmower? I would assume a regular lawn mower design is superior because they quit the sickle mowers a long time ago.
Sickle bar mowers are still quite popular and available new. They have made several advancements in the technology over the years however. The advantage they have for haymaking is they only cut the grass once, rather than chopping it up like a rotary mower might. If you’re not trying to make hay, but rather just mow a field for weed control or whatnot, then a rotary mower would be the tool of choice. Thanks for watching!
Had a friend who used a sickle mower to clip his ditches around the farm. Safer than trying to use a tractor with rotary mower.
How expensive for the pulley if you don't mind. I mowed my field for 1st time last year & I noticed lots of play in it. I have a 49 farmall cub
Are you referring to the pulley on the PTO? That one is quite expensive. I can’t recall the exact price, but they were proud of it. You might be able to find a used one though. Best of luck!
@@vnthomas16 yes the PTO in the back. Hopefully the shaft is still ok. Thanks.
If you’re on farmallcub(dot)com they have a classifieds section where you might find a good used one.
@@vnthomas16 great thank you. I wasn't aware of this. Also I'm very much enjoying your channel. Have been subscribed a while, but really started watching today. I like to watch from beginning hence the question on an old video. Thanks for your hard work to create content. Thumbs up every video. Take care
interesting , How long is the bar.
I believe it’s a 5’ bar.
What do you use to sharpen the sickle sections?
I use over-serrated “self-sharpening” sections. If I need to, I may touch them up with an angle grinder. If I nailed a rock or something and they’re real bad I just replace it.
@@vnthomas16 thank you!
Yep , it's called a rock shaft
Be careful with dogs running around while mowing. We lost our family dog due to jumping over the sickle bar. Cut its back legs.
