    If you own a Cub, you should have her book. If you’re looking to purchase a Cub, you NEED her book. I wish most books were as well illustrated with simple to follow directions. My only complaint is that she isn’t turning out books on other antique tractors. Most are fairly simple machines, but it sure helps to have someone walk you through it.

    Just purchased a 1952 Farmall Cub. I believe I am the third owner which is pretty cool. I have been watching and enjoying all your cub videos. Keep up the good work. It's great to see someone passionate about keeping history alive. I just bought your book and am waiting for it to arrive.

    Hello Dan and Rachell I have thoroughly enjoyed all of your videos, even when I am not working on what your video is about, I learn something new every time. I bought a 1965 Ford 3400 Industrial 3 cylinder gas about 2.5 years ago and ya'll have helped me out tremendously on some issues, which I am great full, it is still work in progress but it is in working condition and I will stay on it until its complete. Some people can make a video and ramble through it missing pertinent information which is crucial to the repair, you are very thorough in explaining the process in the repair and so patient in doing it. I am having trouble figuring out the 3pt lift handle lever, it works fine up and down but it will not hold its position.it is either all the way up and it holds or all of the way down. I can clamp it in any position to use it, but I would like to repair it correctly so if there is any direction you can steer me in I would greatly appreciate it. I do have a manual but it is very vague on that subject. thank you in advance.. Cesar Hernandez

    4 cylinder advance jumping, I'm getting spark just not to my points. With a spark plug tester between the wire and plug scraping the negative terminal on the battery you could see a spark clicker. Toggle switch push button start, on and off works. Toggle switch does seem to be in reverse no matter what I do by reversing the wires, on is off and off is on. Other wires on the gauge panels seem to be wired exactly as the diagram says. Have you or your dad ever had this experience on a 4-cylinder engine? It's actually a four-cylinder Hercules generator from world war II

    People might like to know why and what function the ballast resistor performs and why it might be required.

    • @frombryant6678
      @frombryant6678 2 роки тому

      If you're burning up your points relatively quickly it may be a faulty or missing ballast resistor. The resistor drops (resists) the voltage going to the points making them last longer. The condenser could be bad also as it minimizes the spark at the points as they are opening & closing in operation. Hope that helps.

    • @frombryant6678
      @frombryant6678 2 роки тому

      It doesn't matter which hole #1 sparkplug wire is in out of the four. What matters is #1 piston is on top dead center compression stroke and then put the plug wire on the cap hole the rotor is pointing at. Then arrange the rest of the wires to match the distributor rotation and firing order.

    • @frombryant6678
      @frombryant6678 2 роки тому +1

      Check your ballast resistor is in series in the primary line to the distributor. Make sure it's ok and correct for either a 6V or 12V system.
      Also make sure your cap & rotor are both good or replace them. In some cases the spark will travel from the rotor to the shaft & not out the cap.
