Farmall Cub Tune-Up How-To: Points, Rotor, Condenser, Coil, Plugs and Wires for Distributor 

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.

recently purchased a cub tractor. I also bought Rachel's book and followed one of her videos to replace the rings and head gasket .All their vids are full of clear helpful advice

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.

I’m just getting started and you guys are the best people in the world can thank you enough for everything

Glad your back, need more videos! I miss my cub.

Congrats on the book, Rachel!

اهلا رشال كنا ننتظر فديوهاتك الشيقة شكرا شكرا لك ولزوجك على هذا الجهد الجبار الذي تعملينه من أجل توصيل المعلومة وتعليم بعض الاشياء التي كانت غائبة علينا في مجال الميكانيك شكرا thank you

I`ve been trying to find a young lady who can appreciate older things.

You both You both do a fantastic job on your videos! I use them all the time to work on my 1948 farmall cub. Great work and thank you!

Looks like a great book Rachel. Someday I will purchase it. Thanks Dan and Rachel for another helpful video. 🇺🇸

Just realised, you guys have been doing this channel for 10 years at least. Congrats to all involved in the production I love the informative content.

Awesome Rachel congrats on the new book .Your video's are so well detailed .Thank you for sharing your gift.

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

My father in law just bought a partially restored Cub. I'm gonna be the best son in law in the world and give him your book for his birthday. Also something tells me that some of the repair on Cubs would be applicable to my Super A.

Every time I watch your videos I'm jealous. You know alote more than me.

Have a great memorial day weekend. Thanks 😊!!

Nice video....Great book! Looks like a great deal of this info will apply to my father in laws Farmall 140.

Well done! All your videos are so informative.

A great way to learn and practice.

Please do more videos yall are very informative

You are amazing and very talented and I appreciate your extensive knowledge and experience. Thank you

Love your videos you are a very smart young lady keep up the good work

Great video.

Love the Farmall cub videos 🤠

Great video

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

Hi Rachel this is a very helpful video thanks so much

I want to order my parts from you because I enjoy your videos but I'm having trouble with your website

Always so knowledgeable. Thanks

I'm gonna have to go on yalls website for my 185. Mine shuts off after an hour of cutting grass

Holy cow I bought Dan and his wife video on vhs🤣 in the mid 1990s on cub overhaul. Did my 1st engine from that video

Please do a book for Farmall H just like the Cub one!

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

I really appreciate the help 👍🏻

How does the voltage regulator mount on a 1950 Farmall Cub Tractor?

This application is for alot of I H distributor, I found if I take the distributor out it easily done, ,Rachel do you have a static timing video?

How about any advice on buying a Farmall 140, what to look for good and bad and also fair prices to give for one? I am looking at one online 1965 for $5800 but no clue if that is good or not.

=Do you have a video with directions to install a belt on a 4C-4 Woods mower under the belly of a 1968 Farmall Cub low boy?

Have you ever worked with a b Ned how do u tell what tooth to put it on

I have a super a with no spark took the distributor off. Don’t see any points or condenser . It has been running fine. Had it for several years. Suddenly it quit yesterday What am I missing?

What size screws hold points and condenser in distributor? Purchased a 53 cub and no points or condenser were in distributor?

Its’s easy to troubleshoot a perfect cub. My light didn’t blink on step 2. Now what do I do. They skipped that

That was supposed to say when the key is on run it would have fire or not depending on weather or not the points were open or closed.

Excellente video!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Do u have a video on how to time a distributor on a case va series tractor ?

Great information helps a lot 👍. Thanks 😊!!

First thing: where did the test light clip on to off camers?

How about doing a video on adding hydraulic remotes on an MF 175, and maybe some tips on rewiring one of these tractors since apparently, no one makes a harness for them. Enjoy your videos.

Great videos. Do you do any on the 140?

Jamil Rachel What we see in changing the circuit distributor (Albulettin) and it must be weighed

Great video!

I think my bearings are going out on my Ford 8N. Do you have any videos on this?

Looking to order a tune up kit for a 1946 farm mall tractor M series

Can you check the compression on a Farmall Cub without taking the hood off

Well done....! thank you..

Yay another good video

You have a book . Awesome. Does it cover the governor. I need help with it.

I have a question. Im looking for the 6 volt rear light with translucent RED back. All i can find are 12 volt. Any help with knowledge of who sells 6 volt translucent light is greatly appreciated. Yesterday's & Steiner i don't find it on their site's. Thank you in advance

Question do u have any videos of speed wobble for row crop tractors ie allis charmers ca 1951

I just found your site and I love your video's. Do you have a suggestion about finding a Farmall Cub or Farmall 140? I would love to have a cultivating tractor for the garden. I have a tractor to till the garden but the Farmall brings me back to my youth on the farm.

Sir, you got a beautiful daughter 💖

I just bought an International F-Cub. I looked at your site and didn’t see F-Cub. Will any of the kits you sell fit it? I’m wanting points, distributor, plugs, wires. Thank you

Is your positive on this cub the ground? I cannot remember the exact terminology for what it’s called. Is it a Negative positive ? I have heard of the earlier Cubs having this or something along that type of setup.

Hmm, is there a reason you left the distributor on the tractor rather than remove the base and do this incredibly detailed work, on a bench?

I have a question. Should my 75 Cub be the same number 1 hole on the cap? The number 1 in this video, mine seems to be 1 counterclockwise on the cap is where they have it going. I bought this 6 months ago and I have never heard it run yet.

Does anyone know the correct rotor button part number? I hear it’s hit or miss at part stores.

Your videos are great! Just found your channel and watched a few- any chance you do any work on Universal UTB tractors? I've got an old 640 and she's due for a clutch, not much content available on youtube for these. Keep up the great work!

I’m going to order a ball cap if you’ll have them

THANKS

Thank you :D

It's been my experience that nearly all 4 cyl. gas engines are 1-3-4-2. That was a good year huh? Typically great video.

Points and condenser are new gaped at 20,000

Hi Rachel, what model camera do you use? Your video quality are amazing!

I need to order some parts for a Ford 800 , how can I find your website to order parts , thank you

Boy I'm having issues. Just start off I'll be buying a book. But I have spark and fuel it act like wants to start but it will not. I don't have high tech stuff. I do have compression. I buy this to restore me and my son. But still have issues. The motor had stuck valve and it fix now. There back fire not sure if it's out of time or not.

Awesome thanks

What does it mean when I can't get spark to my plug wires. I have power leaving the distributor to the coil depending on weather or not the points are open or closed.when the key is on start no fire when it is turning over.when the key is just on it will have fire or not but will not flash when spinning over.no fire to plug wires

Does a coil need to be removed/disconnected to test its resistance?

Rachel, are you married? Your"re awesome! I just purchased my first Farmall H tractor in fantastic original condition. Now looking for attachments for it.

Nice

Where is the location of this technical workshop?

She's beautiful! She doesn't seem to age!

👍👍👍

Do a book on a super a

I had dimple on cap we found it was upside down

I think it is proper to mention the other author of the book: Ken Updike.

❤❤❤👍👍👍

You didn’t put any grease on that low sodium points are going to wear out pretty fast without any lubrication
