Hello, my friend passed away and his wife gave me his tractor. I would really like to get it running as it has tons of sentimental value to me. The problem is I have no idea what it is. I have been told it is a cub, a 100 series and a A. I have looked all over for a serial # tag with no luck. All the #'s that are stamped on it don't match anything I have found on the net. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Kyle

Look for ano other #s like on the tranny engine block post them and someone will know. Is there a lettered and then numbers stamped on the block behind the thrott rod under the front spark plug could be the serial# and model there

All three of the tractors you mention would have hwd the seat offset to the right, the left final drive up hard against the side of the tranny, and an offset wide front.

Look around in the photo links to the left of this page, and you may be able to confirm or eliminate the Cub. For description, the As and 100s have a teardrop-shaped fuel tank. The Cub the rear of the tank is more like quarter-sphere. The Cub also is a flathead motor.

Between an A and a 100, a clue might be some odd holes in the hood. As and Super As had decals for the Farmall, model decal, etc. On the 100 they were emblems that mounted to the hood. If those empblems are issing, there would be small holes on either side of the hood where they wre fastened.

You might also scrape away the crud on the side of the block, just under the front (#1) spark plug. There should be a machined flat spot there that will have the motor serial number stamped into it. That could give you as clue, as well.

If it is an A the serial number tag will be under the seat on one of the up rights that hold the seat. If it is a Cub the serial number tag should be on the steering box way up front. Hers a picture of a cub that a friend owns

By your picture, it's likely an "A"--WOK

Yup, A or SuperA. A serial number, from either the chassis (inside of the left-side seat support) or the motor (the preciously described spot under the #1 plug) will tell the story.

Shape of the tank and the seam eliminate that.

the hood being separate from the grille, means it's an A, just as Scotty stated.

That'd make it a 1945 A.

Is there such a thing as a Cub of that era that the gas tank stayed on the tractor when you took off the hood? Mine is one piece.

Dunno, Dave. Every one I've ever seen is a unit.

Beneath the front corner of the fuel tank is the control valve for the Exhaust- Lift, and the operator's control lever is attached to the steering support, so it is definitely an A. The tractor appears in good condition so you may be lucky to find the pressure valve still in place on the exhaust manifold. The big lever is for the depth adjustment of an A-192 plow. Sid.

Click to expand...

NO. The Cub hood and gas tank have always been 1 piece from the factory.

There have been cases where owners have separated the hood from the gas tank, thinking, "What idiot welded the hood to the gas tank?" The idiot is the one that cuts the hood off the tank because then there's nothing to support either of them...

Not a Cub.Cub has a coil spring on the seat support that looks like your hemis are getting reamed.
