I have a 1949 farmall cub. My grandfather bought it new and my father and i maintain and use it for sicklebar mowing our open fields. When it runs it purrs.
I don't have a Oliver sickle bar but I got a hydraulic lift on a old deere 7ft I think will work, I'll give you it if you can come get it from Southern Indiana
Cool little mower! My cub seems to like 1st gear as well when mowing with its sickle bar. I’d love to have a fast hitch for mine but, it’s too much of a pain to take the sickle mower on and off. Sure is handy for mowing banks though.
Wow nice find. I have seen pictures but never the actual mower. I have a cub duplex planter. Also rare. I did make videos on it years back, I need to check if they are still up.
I’m definitely a little jealous of that mower. I’ll have to find me one eventually for my 1960 cub. I do however have the Howard L28 fast hitch rotovator and speed reducer combo. Works excellent in the garden after plowing and discing to get the ground nice and fine for planting things. That’s another somewhat rare and coveted item/combo among cub people.
Thanks for your he video. I have never seen a mower for that size tractor it does a real good job. Maybe the 2 on the model number on mower is for 2 point hitch?
As a side note, over the past 10+ years, I've seen more round balers on fire or burned-out with the tractor in the hay fields. Is it bearings, hydraulic leaks, or belts. They all looked like newer equipment every time. Does anyone have thoughts on the problem? Always (red) color baler/ tractor.
I didn't bother with hunting up a mower for the Cub. So hard to come by. As you pointed out you are power limited, mean the best setup is like 15 hp. I put a hitch on my DR brush mower and tow that. On rough ground it beats the hell out of walking behind it. 16 hp Kawasaki. So I can putt in first gear if its heavy weeds and small trees and it will bash is all up. I also tow it with the ATV now and then. Making do with what ya got is the name of the game.
I’ve gat the newer fast hitch woods rm 42 mower for the cub can’t wight to see a video on the rotator and any luck on finding a sives for the 525 for weat
@Oliver66FarmBoy what ever happened to the rotovater vid? We call em rototiller lol I have a rototiller I found for my 130, come to think I wonder if it matter what way it spins? Being that cubs spin backwards on pto this one is missing part that matches up to the pto shaft so I havn't used it yet I guess it's possible it could be for cub
I have one, but not really a fan. Made for the Cub, but just not quite enough power in the Cub. At least for the stuff I’d like to point it at. They’re not all that rare, just not many owners use them
@@Oliver66FarmBoy Ours had the "belly hitch," which made it much easier to look down and get the edge of the mower right near the border of the lawn or field. It's high on my list of "stuff I wish I hadn't sold."🚜
I just bought a farmall cub tonight off an online auction with a bunch of fast hitch attachments and it has a super clean fast hitch mower on it like that but has a single wheel like a brush hog on back!
Wow that's a nice mower! As a matter of fact I was at an auction yesterday and one of those mowers were there and sold for $60 I have a 47 cub and 2 154 lol boys, sadly none have the fast hitch though. Shoulda bought it anyway.
That was a neat little video. Little old cub handles that pretty well. I didn't know they had something like that. One day at a time, and you will get there.
My grandpa had the belly mount one on his cub, he said it couldnt cut through more then small brush or a lawn because his cub didn’t have the balls to keep it spun up in heavy brush
Ethan, today is June 29th. How is the fire smoke impacting your crops? We had heavy smoke 3-4 weeks ago, and orchards in my SJ area had leaf and blossom damage. Had some effect on vine vegetables, too.
I have I believe what they call a Cub Klipper on my Cub. Only thing I changed was the fast hitch single point, as my Cub doesnt have the fast hitch, but a manual lift. Just unbolted it and made a hinge style bracket so it lifts and pivots. Handy little mowers.
I had a 55 Cub with the belly style mower that used the mule drive belt system. You had to go in first gear in any high grass or weeds our risk stalling out but it did the job places you didn't want to use a good mower.
Hey not sure if you know but the seat pedestal has 2 positions. Unsure if you are tall enough to need the rear position but I figure I would let you know.
Pretty much anything to do with the cub and implements is rare on UA-cam. And very few people showing anything to do with them like setting up or anything like that.
@@dankreoger611 belly mowers are pretty common and what he is talking about as what you normally see. As far as other cubs on UA-cam sure there are some, mowers yes, but of all the millions of videos on all kinds of stuff for as many cubs to have been made as there is there really not all that many videos on them on UA-cam.
Oh yeah! "My Little Homestead" did a video where they top-dressed a mud lake they treaded through with dry Porland and tilled it in. It might keep some socks dry from the puddle by the shed.
There’s a scroll button for a reason dipshit. Either learn to use it. Or don’t watch at all. Either option leaves you with nothing to bitch about. But I’m guessing you like to bitch just to hear yourself bitch anyhow so the question really is what the hell is wrong with you?

That mower is a rare gem. Very unique setup,

There is Nothing on a Deere mower that’s going to come anywhere close to fitting an Oliver.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy I was just talkin about the hydraulic cylinder
Great video. You always come up with very interesting content. Praying for your crops and you too have great success this year 👍
Thanks

I was able to run second when I used to cut hay with my 48 cub and sickle mower.
Wow nice find. I have seen pictures but never the actual mower. I have a cub duplex planter. Also rare. I did make videos on it years back, I need to check if they are still up.

Most of them got separated so having the tiller and reverser is rare.
Ethan that’s a dandy little mower you got first one I’ve ever saw like that. Glad you got some rain for your crops. Thanks.
I got my first stitches on one with belly as a youngster
Back when safety was second to function.
Thanks for your he video. I have never seen a mower for that size tractor it does a real good job. Maybe the 2 on the model number on mower is for 2 point hitch?
It’s a 1 point hitch.
Love my F42 👌...the cool factor is off the meter

Most that I have seen have been bearing failure on the rollers.

Ethan hopefully that mower will keep some of the yard from getting overgrown. Thanks Michael
Yep
While I was growing up, we had a Cub of about that era. We had a hammer knife mower on it though. Anyway, thanks for the nostalgia!
I always wanted to find one of those. Another one they made in both a fast hitch and mid mount version.

Cold natured... You have not met my ex.... LOLs
I have a danco c2 fast hitch mower on my 65 cub. Im sure you will be mowing in 2nd gear soon
Did Woods make other implements for IH cub?
Wow that's a nice mower! As a matter of fact I was at an auction yesterday and one of those mowers were there and sold for $60 I have a 47 cub and 2 154 lol boys, sadly none have the fast hitch though. Shoulda bought it anyway.
Yea that’s basically free compared to what they are worth.
It done a great job Ethan looks good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very cool!
Never seen one of those, neat lil tool for the cub
Love to see the 525 back in action
Nifty little outfit to let the Cub earn it's keep mowing odd corners.
Yep
Wish we got some of that rain. Everything moves past us, and we haven't had a drop of rain in a while!
It will work out.
Neat little combination Ethan
That was a neat little video. Little old cub handles that pretty well. I didn't know they had something like that. One day at a time, and you will get there.
Not many people do.
My grandpa had the belly mount one on his cub, he said it couldnt cut through more then small brush or a lawn because his cub didn’t have the balls to keep it spun up in heavy brush
That’s about right. They are more of a lawn mower than a brush hog.
Pretty neat little mower.
Good to see that You are getting rain. Thanks for the update. Take care. Fred.
Thanks
You got quite a mud hole there by your shop or your machine shed
I never noticed…
Your right Farm Boy. Never seen one of those before.
They are scarce.
That’s a good feeling to get a rain to wash fertilizer in
Yep
Pretty neat little mower.
Thanks
You sell me the 1957 cub with fast hitch mower and the Howard tiller with despeeder and extentions for fast hitch
You no good English.
@Oliver66FarmBoy ?? What you mean
@Oliver66FarmBoy can I make offer for it all ???
$1.5 million.
@Oliver66FarmBoy i was going to make a cash offer or maybe trade a few oliver/massey ferguson tractors I have for it
Ethan, today is June 29th. How is the fire smoke impacting your crops? We had heavy smoke 3-4 weeks ago, and orchards in my SJ area had leaf and blossom damage. Had some effect on vine vegetables, too.
What state is this in
I have I believe what they call a Cub Klipper on my Cub. Only thing I changed was the fast hitch single point, as my Cub doesnt have the fast hitch, but a manual lift. Just unbolted it and made a hinge style bracket so it lifts and pivots. Handy little mowers.
Awesome rain gauge 👍🏾. That’s a neat mower,
Thanks.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy you betcha

A one way on the pto helps alot with the single clutch tractors
The mower has an overrunning clutch built into it….
Pretty much anything to do with the cub and implements is rare on UA-cam. And very few people showing anything to do with them like setting up or anything like that.
That tach on the cub and the Rotovator your talking about is rare too.
Farmall Fanatic has 3 cubs with some mowers
@@dankreoger611 belly mowers are pretty common and what he is talking about as what you normally see.

U u up
Rare I would have to say so I've been around tractors all my life never seen one like that ever cool piece to have for sure thanks for sharing it
Corn will stand back up if it's not broken.
Cool! I've been hunting for a cub for a new homestead. Fellow Boilermaker here. '88-94.
Oh yeah! "My Little Homestead" did a video where they top-dressed a mud lake they treaded through with dry Porland and tilled it in. It might keep some socks dry from the puddle by the shed.
That is a neat little mower! I finally bought a Cub last Fall, but it doesn't have a fast hitch.
That’s unfortunate. They are a lot handier with one.
That's a rare Bird for sure
Yep
11 minutes to get to what I tuned in for What the hell i wrong with you

well perhaps the adds sponsoring you are from companies that might be interested in my opinion .. @@Oliver66FarmBoy
We have a 50 Cub with the C42 belly mower and absolutely love using it for trails and such.
They are handy.
Now that’s a tractor
that is too cool
Great video
Aint gonna lie....its weird seein you on a red machine.
Only racists drive one color.
I used to mow my yard with a 5-foot Woods 3 blade finish mower on the belly of a cub it was all she could do🚜⛽️🇺🇸
Yea you learn fast not to let the grass get to tall with that setup.
