Kudos to your Dad for raising such a smart man👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

New to channel. As a mechanic, I find it easier to get adjustable jets back to their correct position by screwing jet in & counting how many turns. Nice little cub though and seems to run great.

My grandparents have a cub. It was the first tractor I drove. We use to pull a horse drawn plow with it. We used it for years. It's still on the old farm. Both my grandparents are dead now. But it's one of the things I want when my uncle passes on. It's been under cover It's whole life. Last I remember it was in pristine shape. Lots of memories.

I have my dads little 1953 Farmall cub he bought form a neighbor somewhere around the mid 1950s. I grew up driving the little cub and now I use it to mow about 10 acres of hay and do a little gardening. It has been a great tractor.

First tractor my dad ever bought......Right after the war my dad put his name on a list at the Ford dealership and every time he checked his name was further down the list.... so he went to the IH dealer and wasn't long before he had a Cub.... whole shebang... plow, disk, planter, cultivator, cotton duster......My brother (18 years older) would come home in the morning White from DDT after dusting neighbors Cotton all night....That is about all I can remember of the Cub He passed away in 2002.....

Know this, a Farmall Cub will always start 💪

Nice to see some Red with the Green again. About the Cub and it's 9 hp and 9 mph; they were originally designed for a one-horse farm, aimed at the southeast, where the whole place was under 50 acres. Because of this the little guys were never really expected to be roaded more than maybe 1/4 mile or so. They were supposed to be so small that everything could be removed by hand with hand tools and easily fixed by the farmer who now didn't have to feed and pasture his horse so he had more cropland for growth. The tach and Fast Hitch are definitely a bit more rare than the bolt on items but that old Howard Rotovater has to just be the stuff. Need to dig that out and get here going too. Nice video.

Nice shape old equipment. Jack on baler looks like bumper jack for cars in the 50-60s.

I like this video Ethan and have 2 cubs of my own a 1958 cub low boy and 1963 cub I plan to take my 63 to the fair this year

I have a lo boy with a fast hitch just like that and a newer 184 with a loader on it handy for doing yard work if I put 100 pounds in bucket I can barely steer the little thing it handles mulch ok

We had a Cub with a belly mower, we put the kids on it to learn about operating a tractor. Yours sounds great. I've never seen one with a disc harrow or a plow with quick hitch setup like you have,

Starting in either 56 or 57 they offered 2 versions of the cub, 1 version had the taller muffler above the hood, it was considered a row crop tractor, the other with the lower exhaust was their entry into the lo-boy tractor, this version changed drastically over the years, last winter I made my wife park outside while I restored my grandfather's 51 cub, fun project, it runs well and is very handy, with the price of fuel I've been using it for jobs such as returning empty grain carts to the field and I even raked some hay with it, that didn't work out well because of the fixed draw bar, it drug a lot, your lucky to have all those attachments

That cub has a tachometer. Fast hitch also and a reducer! Sweet cub!

Gotta love the little fella(CUB) they are a handy unit to have around never owned one though. Had 2 Farmall A’s years ago. Keep em comin OFB. Good vid.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Just subscribed . I like the Howard gear reduction. Never knew about those.

Nice looking cub sounds good also.

I have to admit when you said it will either start or not I looked at the video length and went well it didn’t start easy lol.

Nice original looking cub! You talking difference in both cubs running, like my Dad always said about late 60's Muscle cars, have 100 same engine models & 10 or so would just blow the rest away!!!🤣👍😎

Great video Ethan- love seeing the cub!

That cub sure runs like a sowing machine. I don't think you will see any future electric battery tractors sitting for years and then go out one day and have it running in a few hours. Won't be able to even find a battery to fit it. Lol I have looked at many of the cubs at antique tractor shows but have never got to run one. Growing up we had a Ford 2N and later a Ferguson TO-20.

Little tractor sounds good and runs well

Have you ever heard of the Paquette’s Farmall tractor museum? Its the largest Farmall and international collection in the world, it’s about 30 minutes from my house here in Florida, the owner died and they’re closing at the end of this month. I’ve heard an auction company out of the Midwest is selling off all the inventory. KZfaq it, there’s been several videos made of the tractors, it’s very impressive!

Got a little 1960 cub myself with the despeeder and Howard L28 rotovator. I gotta say I’m a little jealous of your little fast hitch mower you’ve got for it. Handy little tractor these cubs are. Mine is the same way as that one. Takes a couple minutes of warming up until you really get it to do much of anything when it’s cold out. Can’t even be a late vs. early thing because mine has an older motor in it out of a power unit. Starts right up every time though.

Nice little 🚜🚜🚜🚜 Ethan👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍great video interesting content.

My grandfather had a cub,but he restored it,and let us grandkids mow his grass with it. We thought we were big time driving that around .Not that far away from Lakecity mi. So you would have bought that at Volkers

Cool little tractor we have something similar to that but are disc and plow plus field cultivator hooks up to are wheelhorse with hydraulics and three point use it on the garden love the video

Long as the carb ain't gummed and the points open n shut shell go

There’s 2 thing I learned about IH tractors after farming with them for years with dad. Grinding Gears is a typical Tuesday with them and they always start. You can’t kill those old gals

The despeeder (which is what I think the cub guys call it) is worth as much as the tractor! That's a good tractor with all the attachments.

You can pull a spark plug and put it direct on the coil wire. If you have spark their you know you have 12v (or6v) and the coil is good. Then your problem is pin pointed to the condenser or points/wires.

What a neat little cub! I have a 57’ too but, mine doesn’t have the fast hitch. I agree with you they can be a pain to work on. It’s kind of dumb you have to pull the fuel tank/hood off as one assembly to work on them. The cubs can be handy though.

Sweet little cub

You did a good job buddy How often does your sister come home and see you guys be safe out there your buddy from Oxford NE

I have a 1975 cub and it's just your 10 or 70 degrees it always starts and it's ready to go

You disk a field after you plow it! Not before. Wow.

My 1948 runs great

That is a nice clean original looking cub. You sure you can afford the lease payment on that from your sister. Haha

I have not had to pull the carb on my cub yet. But I have heard it both ways...do you have to reset and adjust the governor linkage when you pull the carb off? I have heard some people say yes when you pull the carb and you have to adjust it and others say not.

Restoring my great grandads Oliver 550 he got brand new in 1962. It needs some new 13.6x26 tires. Crazy expensive to buy new. Any tips on someone somewhere that might have some used for reasonable price?

We have a 5040 Allis if the weather is below 60 degrees you have to use either for the first time you start it everyday, it's been that way since they bought it bran new in 1979

I wonder if a single section drag was hooked to the chain between the weight brackets on the disk.

Is it a woods rm 42 bush hog for the cub

POINTS FILE EVERYONE SHOULD ONE

The only thing that would make this better is to have hydraulics for the implements.

What was the engine sitting in front of the Cub, looked like CAT paint job?

What grade gas fuel do you run ? Can a guy run E blends? I just hot a 880 gas

Modern enough to have a tachometer....!

What is it worth?

You ever need parts for those old gassers give me a call

i found out they are so side heavy when raiseing them kinda dangerous i think

What kind of dog is Skeeter ?

I'd like to buy a tractor like this one. All I have is a hand tiller. Do you want to sell it?

Not saying the disc is junk but I think the disc on the power king would do a lot better job

USE TERINAL SPREADERS ITS NOT GOOD TO POUND THE BATTERY POST LOL

But red is the best

you can keep your foul talk and the video....
