Sea Foam helps a lot. It's a great fuel stabilizer, and cleaning agent. It did fix that 1962 Ford Truck we had. Old truck would barely run and after running Sea Foam, it cleared right up. It was a permanent fix. But it depends how bad it is. If it won't run at all, then the carburetor needs to come apart. But given the way your Cub was running, I'm sure it would fix it.
I used to use seafoam in my trucks, always seemed to work well. I always used a can once a year. And when I used it I always made sure to use it when I was filling the tank full with gas.
I have seen videos of people putting it in old noisy vehicles oil and running it for about 20 minutes it seems to clean out the engines and make them quite again. Used it for years myself in my boats when I lived in southern Fla
I used to plow quite a bit with my 57 Cub back in the day. Never used chains, and the weights seem to work fine for traction. Did she slip on some ice...sure, but never stopped me from getting the job done! I would be dangerous at those auctions you go to. My Cub would have a bunch of red tractor buddies to play with 👍
This is my 3rd year using SeaFoam in my lawnmower, rototiller, and snowblower and no more spitting & sputtering in all 3 of them. I put a couple of capfuls of SeaFoam in the tank every time I fill,it up and it also acts as fuel stabilizer so if a machine sits for a while the fuel won’t go bad and they will start when you need to use them again.
I had a garden tiller where the governor surged. Did that for a couple years and then I dumped 1/2 can of seafoam in it, which was probably way too much. (the can did say the more you add, the more it cleans). It smokes this bluish white smoke for a while and the surging went away. That was two years ago.
I've used "Seafoam" once or twice. I could not tell any difference in performance. But I have discovered that if it is strong enough to dissolve paint, it'll clean a carb.
Excellent video Gino :) also never used Seafoam ever and tires fill on Liquid Chloride yes done with tractors on farm tractors my dad plus a barrel of cement in back arms on rod clip on with 3 third arm top barrel to but no chains ever yet!
Hello Gino only one way clean a carb or a fuel tank.Take it off take apart and remove debris then reset to factory specs, a can of chemicals can not remove dirt. Have a great day
Mixed results for me most times I have just gotten better with changing inline filters and fuel shut offs help more so along with some kind of storage additive. Biggest case is lubrication in the field these days
I’ve used it the seafoam n the tractor n some of my small engines stuff n hopefully this coming up auction is like the one n Wooster with the price’s good luck Go Red Power Go
I’ve ran a A for years loaded tires and weights without chains I did put a set one year and it helped but they also scratch the concrete so only used them one season
Hi, new to the channel. Really like those red tractors. Have a 1948 B with a belly mower. Wondering what type of gas you use/recommend for these old tractors?
I see that plume of smoke right when you started down the driveway. That's some garbage blowing through. I have used Seafoam products some plus Lucas in a truck. Mostly use Lucas. But my guess is that it's largely isopropyl alcohol. And yes, you're right, pull and rebuild the carb, clean the tank, put an inline, and the fuel side will be good.
I personally don’t think any of the can products for fuel or oil work but to each his own right I found the best thing to do for gas is if you are going to let it sit for long periods put non ethanol fuel in it seems like the ethanol is what causes the problems that is my opinion and experience I’d love to have that cub or the m with the wide front you sir have a beautiful bunch of tractors thanks for sharing
Geno, you don't need a new switch on your cub. My super M had the same problem. A couple drops of oil and it's like a new one. ( not the starter switch, but the kill switch).
She seems to be running good! On a side note, I went to preview an auction yesterday and tried to send you some pics of a tractor there but fb says you are no longer on messenger.
Going out on a limb....you've got a tracker buying addition!! Is there a tractor to tie your shoes??!! I'm just teasing you....don't get mad 😊 If I could, I'd be doing the same 😊Your trackers are lucky to belong to you now. 😊
There was a super MTA that went real real cheap at a sale last fall. I’m still kicking myself over it. My father in-law told me that I messed up BAD for not buying it. And my ol lady reminds me on a monthly basis that they only made the for one year and I let one go. 😂😂
U got some good n laws n a wifey who’s a keeper if she’s n to the tractors n on ur ass that u missed a good one to get keep n mind there’s nothing to do but keep on looking for another one n just keep busy
I use it all the time. That and marvel mystery oil. I’m too afraid of cracking the torque tube to snow plow with it. I’m sure it’s fine, but I’d be that one guy to bust it😒
Good day Now u said it was not used enough, how are going to do that with all these tractors Yes they should. I have 574n with 16-9-30 with fluid & wheel weights & can't get in my lane without chains> Good luck.
We don’t recommend using Seafoam more than once in an engine! We buy a lot of engines used and rebuild them into racing engines we also build current manufacture engines! Ford and GM do not recommend it! We discovered that it’s not good for the rings! A one time deal can bail you out of a mess, anymore than that is a risk! We recommend a Lucas product for carbureted engines! Also as far as chains go I’ve never used em and I’ve plowed lots of snow in years past! Loaded tires seems to work quite well! On ice it’s a different deal!
@@Rattletrapfishing Seafoam is definitely my next choice if B12 isn't available. Some say it is snake-oil, but I also have had good results from Marvel Mystery Oil.
Sea Foam? Suppose it's like lead additive. Some will swear by it, some will swear about it. Far as I'm concerned, it's only good for stirring up muck in a forum or chat. Oil is another good one for that. Anywho, I would have shot the carb with some cleaner first. And that kill switch just needs a shot of WD40 or the like. Should be good to go then. Regards!
Sea Foam. True it's a fuel stabilizer however I've heard or seen results that it doesn't work on moisture very well, IDK. They also make other good products. I've had good results with the "Trans Tune" in power steering.
your starter bendix sounds terrible on my end might need a flywheel gear as well it will have 4 areas they wear out a few inches of teeth on the flywheel many frmalls we just heated up the ring gear and turn them over
Everyone that I have talked to about Sea Foam are firm believers in the product. I will be using it from now on. I have 2 older John Deere 2 cylinder tractors, you know, the green colored ones. One of them only gets used a couple times a year and has always been a real good starter. That is until I tried to run it with 3 year old gas in it. Drained the tank and did a good thorough cleaning of the fuel system, through in new plugs and Bob’s your uncle. It is hard if not impossible to get gas to keep any length of time anymore. I will be treating everything I own that with Sea Foam from now on. Whether it sits with fuel in it or not. That goes for my diesels as well.

I figure it can't hurt. I love the way these little cub engines purr. No valvetrain noise with the little flatheads.
Oh no doubt
I used to use seafoam in my trucks, always seemed to work well. I always used a can once a year. And when I used it I always made sure to use it when I was filling the tank full with gas.
I've never used it but seems like there are a lot of happy customers.
I have been using Seafoam for 30+ yrs. Works great to clean and maintain your fuel system.

I could literally own a museum by now lol
Never heard of Sea foam till you mentioned it 🤔 but it certainly seemed to improve that little cub 👍Red Power 💥💪
Yeah it's running a lot better

I put a couple of capfuls of SeaFoam in the tank every time I fill,it up and it also acts as fuel stabilizer so if a machine sits for a while the fuel won’t go bad and they will start when you need to use them again.
I use both the additive and the spray. Additive on my lawnmowers in the spring. The spray on anything stuck/rusted. It’s amazing.
That’s a nice looking tractor at the auction! Hope you’re the winning bidder!
I run Sea Foam in mine as well! Every 3rd tank full! Thanks for sharing! You're going to need a bigger red shed!
Right on FF💪🏻keep em comin hoss🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I've used Seafoam with good results. Once a year application sounds like a good idea. Nice little fleet of Cubs.
I'm a firm believer in SeaFoam. I use it all the time. Added to the oil works well too. Nothing better to stop noisy lifters than Seafoam.
Right on

Never heard of Seafoam but have used Sta-bil in the past . The ole gal sounded good though. Have a blessed day and weekend my friend.
Likewise
I think you nailed it when you said it needed to be run a lot more.

Hi, new to the channel. Really like those red tractors. Have a 1948 B with a belly mower. Wondering what type of gas you use/recommend for these old tractors?
I run non ethanol.. 90 octane
From where I sit, The Cub sounded good. It won't take much to get it right. As for the mystery tractor, Farmall 200???
Good stuff

Geno, you don't need a new switch on your cub. My super M had the same problem. A couple drops of oil and it's like a new one. ( not the starter switch, but the kill switch).
I need both lol
Yea I'll lube it up
Keep cans at the farm for mowers and trucks. Good stuff
My outboard motor set for five years on a float charger and sea foam. Then stated on the first crank, ran better than ever.
I believe it
I've used seafoam and always noticed positive improvement so I'm a believer
Same here
What battery you running in your Cubs. It looks like it fits in the battery box real nice.
I'll have to check...just got it
@@FarmallFanatic thank you
She seems to be running good! On a side note, I went to preview an auction yesterday and tried to send you some pics of a tractor there but fb says you are no longer on messenger.

I so enjoy your videos lest go red power
💥BOOM💥
I liked as soon as you said Jim Comey leaker, cracked me up.
Ahahahahahahaha he's a piece of treasonous crap
I used sea foam in a carburetor it need chock on all the time now I can cut the chock off it runs good
Whats the manual lift handle for on the fender of the cub with the snow plow?
Depth control
I use it all the time. That and marvel mystery oil. I’m too afraid of cracking the torque tube to snow plow with it. I’m sure it’s fine, but I’d be that one guy to bust it😒
Sea foam definitely works.

We shall see
Ohh yeah, we're going for the whole alphabet
💥 BOOM 💥💪🏼❤️
👍👍
Star tron for gas is a great product for water and ethanol and as a stabilizer. I use it in all my gas engines. And storage cans and tanks.
What did you mean by your tires were loaded?
Tubes are filled with calcium chloride for rear weight

In an engine or fuel tank?
@@FarmallFanatic ran through the engine! Especially the older sleeved engines
Seafoam is good, but my go-to is Berryman B12 Chemtool.
Interesting...someone else said that too
Sea foam is good it depends on how bad it is I had it fix the problem completely before
@@Rattletrapfishing Seafoam is definitely my next choice if B12 isn't available. Some say it is snake-oil, but I also have had good results from Marvel Mystery Oil.
So Farmall Friday is on Saturday?
This is Farmall Friday lol
@@FarmallFanatic lol I got confused
When are the beans getting harvested?
I started picking about a week ago
Use seafoam all the time I our ih and Farmall tractors works wonders
Same
Don't know if it's good or bad but I've a few all black c'pillars.
All black means bad winter
Is the smoke at 5:11 from the seafoam?
Yep
AV gas will clean them up too.
sea foam has helped me many times! worth 10 bucks for a shot to be lazy! lol
Agree
I have a set of them weights here in central ohio. I have no use for Farmall weights and will make a good deal if interested. Like $100 for the pair.
That is a good deal
" Jim Comey leaker " 😂😂🇺🇸
🤣
SEAFOAM FROM THE SEA🤣 THAT'S HYSTERICAL! CAN YOU IMAGINE?🤣 GOOD LUCK AT THE AUCTION.
Right? Lol
I got a feeling that I know which tractor you’re talking about if it’s the one that I looked at
Which one was it and what did you think about it?
Sea Foam? Suppose it's like lead additive. Some will swear by it, some will swear about it. Far as I'm concerned, it's only good for stirring up muck in a forum or chat.

Can't argue there
Sea foam cleaned my loaded up duramax saved me lots of money
Right on
I still lose sleep over letting a Farmall 100 go at auction, but I wasnt prepared and it cost me.
I think we've all been through it
I use Berryman B12. Much better and alot cheaper.
I'll look into it
I prefer a product called Lake Erie Foam. 🙂
Ahahahahahahaha
Do you like the farmall tractor 130 farmall and 100 farmall tractor??
Yes!
Sea Foam. True it's a fuel stabilizer however I've heard or seen results that it doesn't work on moisture very well, IDK. They also make other good products. I've had good results with the "Trans Tune" in power steering.
The sea foam smells exactly like dry gas
It is a much better product than stabil. And yes it takes care of moisture.
your starter bendix sounds terrible on my end might need a flywheel gear as well it will have 4 areas they wear out a few inches of teeth on the flywheel many frmalls we just heated up the ring gear and turn them over
Yea hence the rebuild
3 cubs you must be hooked on Cubcaine get it lol better then the other c Caine
Lol
I think you should be fine without tire chains
That's my guess
🤣 if you lived closer to the sea you wouldn't have to buy any 🚨💪🚀💥🚜🔥👍🍻
you know what they say, you only regret the ones you don't buy. boom!
Truer words have never been spoken
You are cracking me up. Foam from the sea. You'll be up to 20 tractors before too long. RED POWER FEVER!!
I'll start shipping them to your house
@@FarmallFanatic I don't have any place for them.
Well you better get building lol
@@FarmallFanatic I'd like to.
Got two cubs
Nice 👊
Is it actual sea foam 😁
Yes, it's the foam that floats on the water...they collect it 🤣
yes but definitely not a cure all for all fuel system ailments.
Agree
Almost all of them run good until you put a load on it but im sure you know this by now.
