What is the difference between the standard Cub and Cub Lo-Boy? I am talking the older red ones if that makes any difference.

Thanks!!

For those who know nothing about Cubs and wish to distinguish between the two, I suggest looking first at the front wheels. At each wheel, there is a steering arm projecting forward. If the steering arm is higher than the top of the tire, it is a regular Cub. If the steering arm is lower than the top of the tire, it is a LowBoy. After that identification, the other differences become more apparent.

I have owned both and as the other posts state they are nearly identical except for height. The lowboy doesnt have as much ground clearance so a belly mower won't raise as high.Also a standard Cub equiped with a belly mower is much more prone to turn over on uneven ground or ditch banks .I have never farmed with either just used them to mow.

Irv:

You are welcome. Check out the links on the home page - I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the amount of online info on Cubs.

They are still just as when they were introduced probably the best all around Garden (not lawn) Tractor ever built!

Rudi,

I have been to your site. I really appreciated your H parts manual. I have a 300 now too and wondering if you have this manual in the scan works yet??

Thanks,
Brian

Brian:

Once the Cubs are completed, and the Letter Series I may start on the follow on Number Series, all depends I guess. I think I have access to a 300 manual, will check. If so, I will try as soon as I can.

Brian,
From what I can see, (I have one of each), the main difference is of course the height of the tractors. The Lo-Boy has it's final drives rotated forward 90degrees, which puts the pans at vertical, and drops the rear. Also the front axle spindles are considerably shorter than the regular Cub. From all I can see, everything else is the same. In fact, I have stolen alot of parts off the Loboy to help up the big brother. They are both great little tractors.

The Lo-Boy debuted in 1955 (I think) and is simply a lower version of the Cub. The tractor was lowered by the use of different final drives and shorter front spindles. The exhaust pipe ran down low along the side and out the back as opposed to straight up out of the manifold like the regular Cub. The Lo-Boy was the International Cub Lo-Boy vs. the Cub which carried the Farmall name.
