I am not sure of what your plow is BUT I spent some time in the seat of various cubs when I was a youngster and none of them were capable of doing much even with a single moldboard much less a 2 bottom.
Probably the best you will be able to do is pull it around as a trailer.
Actually most of the moldboards we used were a single 2 horse moldboard cut and mounted on the cub. With time and patience ground could be slowly turned. I was in Coastal South Carolina where the ground was soft and easly turned.
Cubs are at their best cultivating a single row of garden vegies.

I think what you have is a little wonder plow. I always liked the little wonders because you could back them up, something that is hard to do with ones with a tail wheel.

Key word might be club not cub.
Pictures would help, but most likely a Little Genius Two 14 plow. The Cub may not pull it around the yard much less in the ground. The smallest Farmall that might (depending on soil) pull the plow would be an A and that not very well. In tough conditions the A or B will tend to spin the wheels. To plow with the Cub you need to be in 2nd gear and it simply does not have the horsepower or chassis weight to pull this plow. In 1st the Cub will just set there and spin into the ground rocking from wheel to wheel or choke down. C or better would handle it in most soft soils if it truly were two 14's. If the soils were heavy it would take an H or bigger. I think most beam plows for the Cub were single 12-inch.

With no tail wheel I think you may have a Little Wonder. There is muck more to plowing than hooking up a plow and going. Tractor and plow should be matched to size and proper draft (hitch orientation) plow should be shiny or it will pull hard and make a mess. Talk to some old hands to help you set up before you go.

Your H will be a nice match for this plow. It does sound like a little wonder. If you could post some pictures that would help. There are paint decisions on the Wisconsin Historical Society website. Basically red beams, blue moldboards and coulter. Black hitch. Cream wheels.
There are plenty of pictures out there. Search around for Little Wonder or Little Genius.

Where is everybody getting this CUB from?
"My tractor cLub is having a plow day" is what he wrote.
How could a CUB "have" a plow day? The only thing that comes close to a sentient Farmall Cub is Billy Steer's "TRACTOR MAC" that he brings to shows. The eyes and mouth are plastic, though. It's not alive, and certainly not capable of organizing a plow day.
Must be a lot of people still need their coffee this morning...
