Cool video brother I think you are bigger than that tractor. I think I saw snow falling sure glad to see it cool off did the same thing here. Keep up the good work take care.
Thanks my friend! Haha I feel that way sometimes :) at least I fit a little better on this cub than the speedex haha. That thing was tiny! The cold weather sure made it nice, froze up the ground nicely! I appreciate the support, take care!!
Thanks Kevin! Haha yup I sure did, it was nice to be out and it not be a mud fest :) the Cub sure performs well, I’ve gotten it pretty figured out haha. Take care buddy!
You should really consider getting a proper draw bar for Your Cub. You may end up cracking a final drive housing. The Cub is the nicest tractor for firewood nice and small, great clearance can fit anywhere. Been hauling wood with our Cub since 1949. Great Videos. Thanks.
Good evening Dave, having fun in the great outdoors 👍👍. I know you will be so happy to get that dangerous brush around there cleared up so you can get around safely. It’s looking good too !! Thanks for sharing with us and be safe.
Thanks Fred! Yes it’s a work in progress but all worth it :) I have a ton of fun knowing I’m making progress to better the property! I’m grateful for all of the support my friend, take care!
Hey was watching some of your other vids they are great. I did notice that the cubs final drives are whining quiet allot. Did you change the oil in the final drives? If not pull the pans off dump the oil wipe them out reinstall and refill 80 90. Also pulling the oil pan and cleaning it out is a good idea. The sludge and crap that builds up is kinda crazy. Also the air cleaner element it never gets attention We pulled elements off both Cubs. We soaked the whole assembly in diesel fuel (the element does not come out) and the dirt that came out was shocking it is a wonder the engine could breathe at all. Also the small line that goes from the filter to the engine was completely plugged. (thats bad) We cut the line as it was impossible to clean out. We replaced it with a clear poly line so we can keep an eye on it. Just leave an inch of line on each end of the fittings to push the poly line onto like a nipple just use zip ties to hold the line on. It is vacuum not pressure so the line will stay in place. Cool vids i am still catching up.
Thanks James! I do need to change the oil in those final drives. I know the amount of sludge in the pto/transmission case area was crazy. I bet the oil pan is nasty too. I’ll get around to cleaning it on up this summer, it sure is a fun tractor! I appreciate ya watching our videos, and I enjoy your comments. Take care my friend!
Wintertime is definitely the time to work in the woods! I think my Cub burns about a gallon of gasoline an hour when she’s working. Thanks for sharing!
No doubt! It sure was a fun day, got a good bit done as well :) I figure that’s about how this one is, I haven’t ran it for long periods of time yet but it seems to drink it up pretty good!i appreciate ya coming along for the video and commenting! Take care
Those old international"s are just amazing.Very little horsepower but they"ll pull like hell!When I was a kid I worked for a farmer who had a farmall H,crank start only,it alway"s sat outside with a spackle bucket over the exhaust and it alway"s started!What I alway"s enjoyed most about tractors & chainsaws is that when your done you can see your results.Unlike lifting weights or going to the gym,plus you can"t beat free heat with a woodstove.
Thanks Mark, your right buddy! That 10hp has a lot back in it up haha, impressive to say the least! I like the hand start on em’ to me it seems more nostalgic :) yes the satisfaction of getting to see instant results with the saws and tractors sure is great! I appreciate the comment, take care!
Haha I know man, there is only so many ways to pull logs :) i could watch old tractors work all day long! The tire chains on the Cub sure made a difference, thanks for watching. Take care my friend!
A sharp chain makes all the difference. Old red does pretty good with the chains on! Looks like fun . You are looking like an expert dropping that tall one. Place is looking good Buddy! It won’t be long you’ll be out of trees , hahaha
No doubt buddy! I know for me keeping it sharp makes it much more enjoyable! Old red, I like it haha! Yes it sure pulled nice with those chains, I had a blast haha. I’m gettin better at dropping them :) or just gettin lucky. Thanks for watching Dave!
There's certainly therapy in a sharp, smooth-running saw. I was fortunate to cut and split two totes (tops removed) from logs on hand on this ideal day in the mountains of northwest Georgia. It was in the 30s with sun and wind here. My 039 is my go to saw. Thank you for the video, my friend!
No doubt Jerry! Over the years I’ve turned it into more of a hobby feeling than work haha. That sounds like a good day my friend, I sure appreciate ya watching! Take care :)
Eastonmade log splitters just sponsored Joe's Premium firewood channel. He's gonna get an ULTRA to use for the show. It would be cool to get in a situation like the Morgans where you've got companies wanting you to demonstrate all kinds of stuff. Joe's splitter was shot.....
Thanks Tom! That’s good for Joe, I’m sure he will get a lot of great use out of it. That would be neat but at the same time I watch mikes channel and think that there isn’t to many people who are fortunate enough to operate the way he does. I like the challenge of improvising things the way most farmers and small timers would do and try to show people just the way I do things :) I appreciate all the comments my friend, take care!!
i was actually looking for the same tractor for the same reason. plan to use it instead of the four wheeler for the heavier trailer loads through the hills in the woods. they are selling around $2500-4000 around central minnesota now.... most of them look restored in the last 15ish years. worth it ?
No doubt Larry, always have to keep that in mind for sure. It definitely feels tall and wouldn’t want to get it on much of an angle! Thanks for watching, take care and stay warm buddy!
It sure is big Dave! It is impressive how powerful this 10 big horses can be haha! I think ya need to get one too! Yes I think the lean to needs to happen!! Take care :)

Nice thanks for sharing
That one tree just would not fall. 😁 Love this video.
Haha thanks Tony! Yes it had its top stuck up in another trees limbs, always something with em :) take care my friend!
Nice to see an older tractor still contributing to your farm.
Michael from Canada
Thanks Michael! I sure enjoy getting to use it, works perfect for little jobs like that :) take care!
The cub did a great job! Nice video!
Thank ya! It sure did nice with the chains on it, made for a fun day :) thanks for watching, take care my friend!
Great video. 👍🏼👍🏼 I figured you take advantage of the frozen ground. Impressive how ol farmall fired right up. Thanks for sharing. Stay warm .

Your right, I’ve had my eye out for one. I’ll get ahold of one someday. It is the perfect firewood tractor :)
Great video
Thanks
Yes 290 was sharp👍
God Bless
Thanks Greg! I try my best to keep them sharp, makes it much more enjoyable for me :) I appreciate the comment, take care!
Nice sharp chainsaw 😁👍. And you got the Farmall starting up really easy now too!
Thanks buddy, it makes it a lot easier and enjoyable! Haha yes the ol’ girl starts right up, thanks for watching buddy! Take care
People who run dull chains think cutting firewood is work. If you have a sharp chain it’s more fun than work
That hopped-up Stiihl doesn't play around! A sharo chains helps a lot too. That old cub was just the right size for getting into those tight spots.
Thanks Phil! It sure cuts nice, your right a sharp chain makes all the difference:) I appreciate you watching and commenting! Take care
Yea those clam shell saws are a pain in the but to work on for sure. Getting the motor out is pretty involved.
Haha no doubt! I bought a the case and it sure was a chore to change out, probably not gonna buy another project like that one! Thanks for watching!

I always liked those Farmall Cubs!
Thanks for watching! I have a ton of fun with it, it’s great how much traction I had gained with the tire chains! Take care :)

I've skidded many, many 13 to 16 inch diameter by 12' pine logs with my cub.....sinks down and drags them....digs quite a rut after about 6 or 7....
I bet! It sure is a fun and handy tractor to have around. I really enjoy it, thanks for watching!

Haha I know man, there is only so many ways to pull logs :) i could watch old tractors work all day long! The tire chains on the Cub sure made a difference, thanks for watching. Take care my friend!
@@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm they loaded?

Excellent! You definitely have some good content, keep it up.
That MS 290 is running in “beast” mode 🤠
Haha thank ya! It sure runs good, makes cutting wood a lot more enjoyable! I appreciate ya coming along, take care my friend!
i was actually looking for the same tractor for the same reason. plan to use it instead of the four wheeler for the heavier trailer loads through the hills in the woods. they are selling around $2500-4000 around central minnesota now.... most of them look restored in the last 15ish years. worth it ?
Careful with the tractor, they like a tip over.
No doubt Larry, always have to keep that in mind for sure. It definitely feels tall and wouldn’t want to get it on much of an angle! Thanks for watching, take care and stay warm buddy!
That little "cub" is quite a bear! I might have to get me one someday! Also I can see a lean being built on the back of that pole barn?? 👍
It sure is big Dave! It is impressive how powerful this 10 big horses can be haha! I think ya need to get one too! Yes I think the lean to needs to happen!! Take care :)
Let's get more cub content
I’ll probably be using it a bit this year with firewood, it is a treat to work with! I’ll be sure to make some videos on it!
yes a dull chain is never fun, unless you give it to your "buddy" to us. lol
Haha good point buddy! Thanks for watching :)
