Great video Matthew. We had a cub on our dairy farm back in the 50's and I spent many hours on it cultivating and mowing fences with the 4 ft cycle bar belly mower on it. I noticed something in the video that I want to make a comment and hope you take as intended as advice and not criticism. I noticed all the time you were driving you were resting your foot on the clutch pedal. While there may not have been enough pressure to make the clutch slip, it is really putting a lot of wear on the throw out bearing and clutch fingers. believe me, it's a job to repair as the tractor has to be split. It's good to see young people maintaining and using this old equipment. Keep up the good work.
Disc cut much better than I expected. We had a Cub when I was a youngster used primarily for cultivating Tobacco & Garden, mowing fence rows & lots, and sawing firewood. I made good money, as a young teenager, mowing overgrown lots in the community. The cut off saw that mounted on the rear with a sliding table was fantastic
Great little cub, nice to see original paint, those hydraulics work flawless. My dad had one on our farm , it had 42 belly mower 2 bush hog style swinging blades it would cut down small trees, he made custom cultivator to do point rows for corn and soybeans fields .out of school got job at IH dealership on the cub there is no throw out bearing for clutch fingers but it is a material like graphite that pushes on clutch fingers, that one guy mentioned force your self out of that habit of touching clutch or brake pedals young man 👨 lol I’ve had 3 cubs over the years one of them had no hyd lift. Thanks for video of mighty little work horse
I just bought a disc like the one you got here. I went thru it and gave it some TLC . It has the original weight tray and hooks directly to the fockshaft. Anxious to get it in the ground soon. Thanks for the video. Like to have you for a neighbor
great video cool tractor for sure, hey buy 4 bags redi mix, put them on where the blocks re next fall. by spring you will have molded concrete weights, the paper will eventually rot off. thanks for video.
nice running cub, you ought to repaint that hood before it rusts. i have a cub, a 1948 and im going to go mow the lawn with it in a little while. i have a danco C3 60" mower and a 54" blade. it handles all of the mowing and snow removal around here. its an awesome, well built, durable little tractor. i cant say enough good about it.
+andrew donohue yeah I have a 52in mott flail mower and i did a lot of mowing in the past couple of days and didn't tape it so watch out for new videos
Why did you not pit the cinder blocks back on it? Looks liked you could have gotten better results with the extra weight. I love those old cubs. Tougher than a lighter knot. Take care of it, and it'll run another 50 years! 😃
Oil may not be your friend depending on what you oil. Oil and grit is a grinding agent. Pins should be lightly oiled and wiped off. By allowing oil and grit to mix together you can make much worse what you are trying to prevent
guy down the road has one a cub now I can see why that a small bog harrow man they will cut a pace of ground up we still have one that is pull behind ford tractor when making a garden.
+roger wilson yeah the cub ones were nice and I haven't had any issues with mine in the fall im going to use my cub plow watch out for that video as well
Matthew Hickin well there main uses were in cultivation of corn and tobacco. The cub tractor, they were small enough to run between the rows and cultivator was below the cub so to have more control when and how cultivating those crops.
