I have a 48 cub (second year of production). I have quite a bit of impliments for it. Full set of cultivators, sickle bar mower, belly mower, the complete planter/fertilizer system all in working order. I use it to work my large garden and mow around the place. This summer I plan to try out the sickle bar mower on my hay field. Glad to see someone besides me actually putting these fine old girls to work like they were intended. If I put this much effort and money into repairing a tractor I will use it. The reason I bought my cub wasn't for a restoration project but to work my garden, never wanted it for a barn beauty though I will eventually disassemble her for a show quality paint job.
Fascinating piece of equipment. I used to collect (well still do to a lesser degree) collect tractors. I've bought and sold quite a few. Used to attend auctions to buy. The simplicity of the older tractors is still amazing. If you consider the fact that the pc board and the electronic anything hadn't been invented or used, you have to admire these older workhorses. One of my favorites, that I owned, was a B1 Allis Chalmers. It was truly one of the first garden tractor that a suburbanite could use to plant a small garden, mow the grass, do some earth movement chores etc. The design was just as ingenious as the Farmall Cub. I do really like the Farmall though for it's lack of reliance on belts. What a well thought out piece of equipment. I'm sure they made many a farmer happy.
i just bought one this past summer, with a cultivator, with snow plow, with discs and with a single furrow plow , 2021 is my first year using a tractor in the garden and im going to enjoy myself completely
The L series by John Deere is a compact tractor and was introduced in the late 30s so a Cub is not the 1st compact tractor Also Alis Chalmers came out with the G made about the the the Cub came out
The first tractor I ever drove and used was Grandpa's 1955 Cub. It was identical to your's except the grill was painted red. Grandpa and most all of his neighbors bought one in the late 40s and 50s and they raised tobacco crops with them as well as gardens. Grandpa got a whole line of implements for his ranging from cultivators to moldboard plows to a mowing machine. They were the little tractor that could and did! RED POWER IN 1954...RED POWER IN 2021!
I enjoyed your video, you are correct about the Farmall Cub. Over the years I have owned 3 of them and currently have one a little older than yours and almost as nice, I would not part with this one. Thanks for the video.
If I remember correctly, the cub was supposed to be an affordable option for small truck and market farmers to transition from horses to tractors, they also sent a lot of them to Europe to help farmers there rebuild .....I have a 49 , needs rings and valves and an update to 12v, after that I want to get as many implements for it as I can find, and use it for gardening and hay mowing, with a 60 c.i. engine, it should do pretty good on fuel
Now I see your cultivator set up---our 1954- super C had the very same cultivator design--tool bar's and all---only larger---of course--9had to be careful when parking those after use for tnext season--if you did thing's right---using the "set screw's"---the cultivator would stand on it's own---stable---ready for next year---just drive between the unit's--Crown Point--Indiana-enjoy-(also---there were "shield's' that could be set alongside the shovel's--to prevent covering corn when very small-)that's a clear field you did there--look's -great-( there is photo somewhere of a trainload of cub's leaving the St. Louis plan---50's)the design tractor you have is known as "cultivision"---(the "offset"---to see better same as the Farmall "B"---you most likely know all this anyway--
My husband was telling me about driving a small tractor on his friend's farm, and he suggested we look it up. And here you are! What a treat it was to get to see this part of his childhood still working :-) Many thanks for this unexpected history lesson. From Leo: I was a second grader when I used to drive this tractor to allow my friend to stack bales of hay and straw on the wagon drawn by the tractor. His dad and oldest brother would pitch the bales up onto the wagon, and he would stack them in one smooth motion. This is a great memory to see alive and working.
I would sit on the floor and dangle my feet while daddy plowed. Then when I got too tall, I’d sit on the gas tank facing my dad. Boy I miss those times especially since I’m a granddad now and my dad’s gone on.
Don't forget to thank the ladies. There must be one out there watching. Oh and would like to hear more on how it circulates without a pump. Heat and pressure control?
@@kentuckyyankee might be a way to illustrate how the circulation takes place with a lady cycle. Two for one. I understand if you don't touch this comment with a ten foot pole. LoL
How come you don't plant your beans and corn together and have more useful planting rows for other vegetables ? Seems kinda stupid to have to put all those fence posts in the middle of your field and all that netting , string and other crap . Or just plant a field that's nothing but pole beans .

cub never "compact"---compact's were Bolens--simplicity-economy---wheel horse-gravely--cub-"cadet"--etc.----you need a 150 hp(actual 900 hp---for the "realist") case from 1904 to get a nice comparison--that tractor makes almost any other seem small-----imagineer's world--no room left for expansion---sorry-

cut a 1953 cub from the woods in the back yard at he house the wife and i bought. a few days and a few bucks and it runs great. Great little tractor
Good deal, yeah great little tractors!
I really enjoy watching this video. My dad and I are remodeling one that looks just like yours. This is a fine machine.
Thanks, they are great little tractors!!
How can you not love the farmall cub? I have my grandfather's '48 model in my shed now awaiting restoration. Project for me and my boys.
My granddad had one. I loved it and wish I had it now
i just bought one this past summer, with a cultivator, with snow plow, with discs and with a single furrow plow , 2021 is my first year using a tractor in the garden and im going to enjoy myself completely
Yes you are these tractors are a lot of fun!
The L series by John Deere is a compact tractor and was introduced in the late 30s so a Cub is not the 1st compact tractor
Also Alis Chalmers came out with the G made about the the the Cub came out
& the Massey-Harris Pony tractor, even smaller
How's she goin'? You know when I think of tractors the Farmall series comes to mind. Great looking, hard working and red!!! Thanks for posting!!!

30 and 50 kids. Omg ! I feel sorry for the farmers wife 😫 you do have a beautiful cub, you seem to love yours as much as I love mine
Great tractors!
Yeah ive been growing gardens for over 40 years , successfully .

Thanks for watching, amazing what a smooth running machine this tractor is being so old.

The squirrels stole a lot of my sweet corn this year
They will do that 😂😂
There was the farmall A, B, 100, 130, 140, 200, 230, super c and super c and the international 274 that came later
All good tractors
Great info. thanks
You're Welcome!
That’s pretty awesome! How often do you have to cultivate the corn? Can you use the tractor to plant the corn?
I don't have a planter for it but you can plant with it, I cultivate just anytime

Thermosiphon. Look it up.
Cultivision , and those tree rats would become a side dish for all that corn...
😂😂
I want one :-)
You need one! 😂

The a was the first compact tractor back in the old days not the cub.
30 TO 50 KIDS, LMAO
😂😂
Wrong' The Economy tractor came out a year before the Farmall Cub did.
Why are you yelling

I guess its the “yankee” part that makes the video so annoying. Take it down a notch! 😂
