Another good video Mr. Tom. That little tractor made life a lot easier for truck patch farmers and i think it was probably a good addition to the bigger farmers at the time too, as far as doing the smaller chores around the farm. Enjoyed it buddy👍
Thank You. Dad bought his in 1947 and took it back in 1948 for hydraulics. He made decent money custom plowing and sawing. He mowed roadside for the Town
All the offset Farmalls from Cubs to 140’s still have a place in farming, there’s a reason CaseIH and Kubota were making diesel versions after the 140 ended production. Try in row cultivating or side dressing with a compact modern tractor, it’s quite limited. There are so many old offsets around and still parts support that as long as people are growing truck type gardens, tobacco, etc, they make sense financially to own.
Tom you have more implements for the cub than I knew they made. Nice video. I have a 48 as well. I have the front blade that double rear plow and discers for it. Very dependable little tractor
I owned a cUb with all the implements. It was underpowered. Had to run it full throttle. I sold it and now have a Super A with the engine from a 200 swapped in. It can do more at a idle than that cub could do full throttle.
I use my Cub year round here in Maine on the US/Canada border. Hauling a cart, dragging rocks, grading the road frontage, plowing snow, harrowing… the list goes on. I constantly use it. I also have an M, but I gravitate toward the Cub for anything I can possibly do with it. It’s the perfect small machine on my 40 acre homestead
Not joking but I build a three point and a PTO to go on my curb I doubt it down from the 1600 to 540 so that I could run a 4 foot well I’m proud tiller and it runs it pretty good in light material
I wish I could, I sold it pretty soon after bringing it home. It’s essentially the same IH 2-row planter that was fast hitch and 3-point. Thank You for watching

I live in a Apartment complex. If I had a house, I would own one. love these little tractors.
They’re handy and easy to work on. Thank you for watching
My Dad bought a 1947 Farmall Cub right after the war . It came from the factory with 3 different brands of tires on it.
Dad did too. He never mentioned the tires though

And they're still earning their keep even today. Maybe not as much as back then, but still a very useful tractor today
That's a cool little machine!
Very handy indeed
Just watched this again great information regards frank .
Thank You 😊

Absolutely true. Thank You for watching
Great video. Saw the limerick sign and realized your about 45min from me👋
Thank You for watching!

I really love them. Check out a few of the Cub groups on Facebook. I think there were like 20-something factory implements. Thank You for watching
Interesting indeed
Thank You for watching
Probably the best small tractor ever made.
I think so too
Thanks for your time and information excellent content.
Thank You for watching
Very informative as always great video regards N Ireland .
Thank You
Use the jd 40 as my primary

The extra gear and valve are handy too. The newer Cubs weren’t too bad, but I can’t do very much with my old 1948. Thank You for watching 😊
@@LedgemereHeritageFarm I work the shit out of my 48. If youre realistic about its capability and not expect it to work like a 8N they do plenty
@@redneck400m3 that’s right. Use it for its intended purposes and it does fine.

That’s awesome! I have heard rumors about an adapter for them but I’ve never seen one. 😊 thank You for watching
@@LedgemereHeritageFarm if u way toss my 3 point u can see a video and b&h Farm’s on TH-cam
Very nicely done!
@@LedgemereHeritageFarm thank you
Can u do a better video on the 2 row planter for the cub
I wish I could, I sold it pretty soon after bringing it home. It’s essentially the same IH 2-row planter that was fast hitch and 3-point. Thank You for watching
I'm gonna own everything you have...then you can start over
Good idea. Maybe I’ll be an Allis or Oliver guy?
The cubs pto spins the right way and my cub is 12hp
The cub PTO spins the wrong way (counter clockwise)and isn’t splined correctly to accept 540 implements . There were no Farmall Cubs at 12 hp
@@LedgemereHeritageFarm well we tested mine and it show 12hp
@@bohammonds1006 ok
The book says 10 and 11 hp
The 1947 Cub was 9.25 Belt HP, 10 in 1955 by an rpm increase and 15 in 1975 with anew carburetor and other upgrades
I'll leave the Mahindra
I did get them to give me a brand new starter, but it shouldn’t have croaked at 200 hours.
