I plow town roads for a living, it always amazes me the people that push snow across the road on blind corners and like you said the mess they leave behind. I'll clean the road up and sand after plowing 30 hours straight and come across piles of snow all over the place on my way home. Pretty aggravating
I don't know why people push snow across the road and leave a big fuging mess for people to hit just like drifted snow it could throw you. Most everybody has room to distribute that snow on there own property inconsiderate ass hats
I live in Nashville, TN and a bunch of us already signed the Beechwood Manor partition. Thanks for mentioning it. Your account is very accurate from what I understand. Hoping we can save it. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Ethan!!
I don’t expect much out of Nashville. Been there twice and outside of the opery there is very little tying it to its old county roots. As evident by the trash “county” music it turns out in our modern age.
Gotta love the old irons simplicity and durability. You won't see these new tractors working or running in in 20 years let alone in 40,50,60 plus years like the old ones. I've got a 1940 ford 9n ,56 massy 65 and a 69 580ck backhoe that start and work all day with no problems!
I mean tractors haven’t seen much change as far as power train since 2000 and most of those tractors are still going strong at 22 years old. They will probably struggle to make it to 50 but 20 shouldn’t be a problem.
I believe they call the mount in front of the final drives a substitute drawbar. If you had a swinging drawbar it hooks to it as well. I’d like to buy a blade for my cub. Good work!
@@Oliver66FarmBoy Yes, I have a swinging draw bar and it used its own draw bar to pull and the standard draw bar to take tongue weight and limit the swing.
To Ethan's point- you are better off not plowing across any public road if you don't want a hassle from someone that may just want to be a PITA, but.........actually, in MI, technically you can plow across a roadway as long as you don't leave ANY snow, slush or ice behind which includes the little ridges left at each end of the blade, regardless of how tall those ridges are. In other words, leave the road surface very clean where you plow and you are within the law, but at the same time you also have to consider the property rights of anyone across from you (if you have anyone living across from you ) and you are pushing the snow past the easement in any manner. Talked with the PD and the county road maintenance foreman about it to get the info after some neighbor troubles several years ago, over this very thing. For those in MI interested in that topic, you can read the code which is - Section 257.677a.
A couple of winters ago I restored my Grandpa's 51 cub, it has the cultivators and the snow plow/grader, I knew it could be used as a grader and was always thinking the drawbar turned around was the mounting point underneath, I guess my assumption was wrong, thanks for showing the correct mounting
I just got 2 cubs to restore, looking forward to getting them in after I finish the 300 utility restoration! Great explanation of going from belly to front plow. Happy Thanksgiving!
Got this same ring. But I didn't get that square cornered push bar specific to the blade. So I use the standard drawbar as a pushbar. Seems to work fine, I didn't know there was a different one for years. I suspected it could be used in a grader mode and when I got a PDF of the book on it that was confirmed.
The down side to that is you loose your drawbar so you have to take the blade off and switch everything back around to pull anything. That’s why they had the auxiliary bar to keep the drawbar free to use.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy Yes you do but I did not get that blade draw bar. So you run what you got. I really don't use it for nothing more in the winter anyway.
I’m not saying it proper or original but I don’t have the wishbone for mine and just flipped the drawbar around facing the front of the tractor and the front set of bolt holes in the final drives are the same pattern and the two holes for the blade mount line up with the drawbar holes
The drawbar can be used like that but then you loose it to use as a drawbar. That’s why they had the auxiliary bar specifically for mounting the blade.
We had a cub it had a hand lift I used it to cultivate tobacco with on long rows it was great the short rows would work you pretty good Lol. Yes I'm in middle Tennessee it's a shame about Hank Williams place. I saw a interview with Kid rock he's pissed about it too I hope we can save it.
I don’t know your location but there are Cub blades for sale on Craigslist and Market Place all the time in MI. I’ve seen them for $200 and up. I bought a set of Cub chains at auction for $10.
The Super 44 and 440 would be the most similar but they’re closer to the Farmall A/Super A. They’re a little bit bigger tractor. Same offset design. They look surprisingly similar to the A/Super A but the Super 44 and 440 are of Oliver design with a Continental engine.
I saw an Oliver 44 at a tractor show in Minnesota (Scott-Carver Threshers Show) that was offset like a cub. Very cool. It looked beefier. It had a 3-point hitch and hydraulics everywhere! And John Deere has a newer one, too. It's called the 900 HC.
I think my blade is a model 54A. I am missing the link in the front to let the blade float and the wish bone piece underneath the rear to attach the blade in the grader position. I will have to fabricate them. Thanks for taking the time to make this video Ethan. I can't stand the people that leave big snow trails in the road either. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hank Williams owned the property Beechwood Manor, but never did live at the property. Tim Mcgraw and Faith Hill have also owned it, but never lived there. The original home that was first bought by Hank Williams was on Franklin Road just out of Nashville, and was a ranch style home which as I understand it, is the house that Hank Jr, was raised in, and Miss Audrey lived there until her death in 74. After Hank Sr and Miss Audrey split in late 51 or early 1952 he shared a house in Nashville with Faron Young and Ray Price. Hank & Audreys home on Franklin Road was torn down years ago. And by the way, very nice cub and blade, I would love to have one, but I'm H and M poor right now lol
Just because he didn’t live there doesn’t mean it’s not still a historical landmark based on the age and architecture alone. It’s still not ok to tear it down.
I run the pin chains on my 2-85 with 18.4r38's. THOSE are heavy chains, but they bite wicked. I do wish reverse was slower though for the snowblower...
Hey I figured out why that substitute drawbar you have for the blade has so many parts it’s for a fast hitch tractor. That substitute drawbar can be used on both a fast hitch cub and a non fast hitch cub while the normal substitute drawbar can only be used on a non fast hitch cub.
American manufacturers are complaining because the Chinese Took all the business away the problem is the American manufacturers discontinue all these parts that the Chinese are making now so they have no right to complain about it
I would say more like it was the NAFTA agreement that made the American manufacturers greedy so they discontinued making parts so they could make more profit by buying the cheaper Chinese parts then selling them as American made
Yes that too the problem is it don't seem like the Chinese parts are that cheap anymore everything from China the prices are the same if not higher now
That's a cool Cub tractor Ethan, I'm kind of a fan of Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly, what bothers me that when they took the statue of Robert E Lee down, I know this was several years ago, I feel that our freedom is being taken away from us

@@49er61 Anyone can buy a plow just like anyone can buy an tractor or excavator. Doesn't mean they have what it takes to run it properly haha
Worst is when they plow slush and the piles they leave freeze into ice.

Thanks for showing how the blade attaches. I have one as a pile of parts and didn't know what went where.
Pretty simple setup.
I believe they call the mount in front of the final drives a substitute drawbar. If you had a swinging drawbar it hooks to it as well. I’d like to buy a blade for my cub. Good work!
Also hooks to the fast hitch on the part that adjusts your front to back pitch of the hitch if you’ve got one of them.
The swinging drawbar has its own cross bar. I have one.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy Yes, I have a swinging draw bar and it used its own draw bar to pull and the standard draw bar to take tongue weight and limit the swing.

Good evening.
Thanks for the heads up for Beechwood.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Thanks.
I agree 100% with you on the subject of Beechwood Manor. Some people just don't value things.
Yep
I don't have a Cub yet,but when I do it will definitely have a blade for it. I just think they are so cute and handy. Thanks for the video!
They are very handy.
Thanks for showing us how to change the belly blade to a snow blade. Also Happy thanksgiving to you and your family.
Thanks.
A couple of winters ago I restored my Grandpa's 51 cub, it has the cultivators and the snow plow/grader, I knew it could be used as a grader and was always thinking the drawbar turned around was the mounting point underneath, I guess my assumption was wrong, thanks for showing the correct mounting
The drawbar can be flipped and used. But then you don’t have a drawbar to pull anything.
My Cub is my grandpas 52 not "restored" but well maintained
I have a blade, but I've never had it on my tractor. Nice video!
Thanks for the heads up on the CA demolition gang. Signed
Yep
I just got 2 cubs to restore, looking forward to getting them in after I finish the 300 utility restoration! Great explanation of going from belly to front plow. Happy Thanksgiving!
Will have both those Cubs restored and still not have have as much money in them as that one 300u.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy oh yeah absolutely! The cubs are so simple especially compared to the 300 lol

Mine was the same way, flip the drawbar forward and it mounted to two of the holes. Otherwise was the same as hes showing.

Congratulations on your successful harvest. Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your loved ones 🚜😊
Thanks
We need a little snow this year to push around and replenish the moisture into the ground
Little bit of snow on the ground, blue skies and cubby maintenance…a good day if you ask me😎keep em comin OFB and happy thanksgiving young man🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks
Happy thanksgiving to you and you’re family
I seen guys push snow across the road it really grinds my gears. they always leave a big mess in the road. have a great thanksgiving man.
Yep. No consideration
Floating clevis in original form is rare...people always lost them
There were a lot of little pieces for multiple cub implements that were easily lost. Mostly in the pre fast hitch stuff.
We had a cub it had a hand lift I used it to cultivate tobacco with on long rows it was great the short rows would work you pretty good Lol. Yes I'm in middle Tennessee it's a shame about Hank Williams place. I saw a interview with Kid rock he's pissed about it too I hope we can save it.
Very few hand lift Cubs left. Most got converted to power lift over the years.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy right it was back in the 80s when I had it .I sold it to a older man and he had a bad wreck and it destroyed the tractor
Great video on your cub thanks Ethan
Have a great Thanksgiving 👍
The little cubs are sure good little tractors 🚜
Yep
Was the little cardboard isolator still there on the starter button?
We had a farmall cub before we traded it for a wd45, i think i still have the all the parts and blade.
It's illegal to push snow across the road in mn also.
It’s stupid if nothing else. Just creates a road hazard
Go Minnesota! :D I'm a Minnesotan with a farmall cub.
That is a cool little tractor for sure enjoyed the video also
Thanks.
I'd like to find a blade and plow for my cub. I really need to get it running again too.

Yep saw that on Tucker about that. Kidd Rock was leading the charge to save that.
Very cool machine for its time. Thanks for the video.
Signed the petition as well !
Ethan did they make a heat houser for that cub
Yea. But they are super rare.
did you find a motor for the 105 white
I have a 1948 McCormick blade. For my 49 cub. I believe it was the first one out and it can be used both front and belly mounted.
Did oliver ever build anything similar to a cub? I'm guessing not or you would probably have one
