Where is Durham and McAfee? Asking for a friend…..
cubs are neat. I also have a C and an H
LoL! I had a Cub with an exhaust-choke lift when I was in junior-high-school in Pa.
1955 IIRC. The tractor was more like 1945, but I don't remember that I ever knew the mfg. date. It WAS well-used when we got it.
Shucks, I learned to drive on that sucker and used it to plow & fertilize about 3 acres of truck. My Father and Ol' Man Rodale were buddies!
... even drove it into town one day with my brother and sister hanging on, to go swimming in the city pool; boy, did I catch it for doing that!
I have an IH 464 diesel that I use for mowing, snow, etc. Not a Farmall but a cousin.

A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have.
8 in the 10 ring, then I get a PING. Love my Garand.
My grandfather bought a Cub, plow, mower, cultivators, for $700. I saw the receipt for it all. Don't recall the year. The only tractor he could afford. He spent many hours plowing, discing and planting. He mowed pasture hay, but had a neighbor bale it. Amazing what that little tractor did.
A friend bought a used Cub, he and his father tried to find why it had no power, it ran, but wouldn't do anything. I went other there, started it,and started pulling plug wires off one at a time while running. It had two dead cylinders. They were getting fire, but dead. We pulled the flat head off, and there were two cylinders where the valves were seized. We rotated the cam so we had clearance, and started shooting solvent and working the vales loose. We got them all freed up, and went for a head gasket. In no time it was running and had all the power you could expect. Must have been sitting for a long time without being turned over.
Hard to kill those old tractors.
HOLLYWOOD Collector Left hawg 405#, right one 315#, had my elderly neighbors granddaughter treed and why I got the call. Both charged, one from 20' and one from 40'. Thanks to the good Lord and Samuel Colt I won. May God bless our Lawmen & Soldiers!
i have a 48 farmall cub best cultivating tractor for the veg garden. would like one of the old low boys with a loader for compost and garden work and a flail mower for mowing down the garden with maybe one day i will find one and bring it home.
not a farmall but I have a 1948 Ford 8N tractor and use it daily for everything
just mowed my field with it yesterday it does grading, tilling and planting duty as well
Love the fact it is 75 years old and still makes a living
Hit em'hard
hit em'often
I asked some family and the Cub my grandfather had was a 1952. My Dad's uncle bought a new Allis-Chalmers B in 1948. It stayed in the family until about 6 years ago. Still ran.
I mow all my lawn with a Cub Lo-Boy 154. Still running after 50+ years. I had a zero turn Husquvarna that was a piece of junk. This old IH just keeps going.
My dad had an old tractor he called a 1020, I think it was a McCormick Deering or something like that.
He pretty much used it to only power a grain elevator that we used to put up rectangular straw bales into a loft.
Can't remember ever seeing a spec of paint on it, solid rust.
It had two fuel tanks, one big one oval shaped and one small round one that only held a couple gallons.
My dad said the small tank was for gas and the larger one for kerosene, you would start it with gas then switch to kerosene.
Never saw that done, my dad always used straight gas.
It had no tires, just steel wheels with triangular lugs.
You started it with a crank.
I was sad when my dad gave it away to some guy.

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

I may be discharged and retired but I'm sure I did not renounce the oath that I solemnly swore!
Dad had one for few years, a 1949 I think. He had the belly cultivator, (is that right?) and a belly mower. Dad didn't dislike it, he just preferred his Ford Jubilee to the Farmall. When the wife and I were raising beef I always had Massey-Ferguson's. On the old Ferguson's and Massey's, change the paint and you could barely tell them from Fords.

Super C and a 140 here. Fairly certain my son twisted off the axle on the Super C last weekend, it only moves if you hold down the right brake... Luckily there are lots of other tractors to do the work until I can look at it.
I grew up sitting in the seat of either a farmall H, M or super M, man that brings back memories. Those farms are all gone now due to taxes, no body wanting to farm, or kids wanting the money from selling.
They had to drill holes in the pedals and add wood blocks so my short legs to reach the clutch, and brakes back then I was short little guy that grew to 6 foot 4 inches until I broke my back then I lost 2 inches
Beware of a government that fears its citizens having the means to protect themselves.
