1948 Farmall Cub barn find

Greetings to all from Papalote, TX
Well this weekend my wife and I literally saved an Oliver Super 66 and a Farmall Cub from the scrap heap, I mean some scrap haulers had a big dumpster with an end door open and they were about to shove them in when I arrived on the scene... What a nice find both were one owner machines and until he passed away they were well taken care of, unfortunately it had been quite a few years before the estate was dealt with. I am an Oliver guy and that is what I was hunting at the time I also picked up the Cub, what a neat little machine, it is very complete including a cultivator. belly mover, one row seeder and a blade, by the serial number it was built in late 1948.
I have some questions about it and the implements, the machine was loaded with lights,electric start,wheel weights, question were all the Cubs electric or was that an option?
It looks like it has a hydraulic rocker shaft was this standard? All of the implements were green (traces of green anyway) but for the belly mower which has no paint I can see yet, but the belly mower looks different than all the pictures I have seen because the front and back of the deck are rounded rather than octagonal. I have tried to upload some pictures but after I hit upload and the picture appears in the small window and I hit "continue" it just sits there and say returning to upload another picture?
Anyway any help on what to look for to identify these implements and info on the options would be appreciated

Lights, electric start, wheel weights and hydraulics (touch control) were optional. The touch control was not available until spring of '48, so all the early Cubs were original fitted with hand lifts, then later retrofitted with the T/C if the owner wanted.
Visit TM-Tractor's site for a bunch of photos and brochures on all things Cub. Congrats on your purchase!
 
In re picture uploads that is how they work, you do that till you have uploaded all you want but you don't see them till you hit 'preview reply'. I don't know anything about cubs.

You need to click on "Preview Your Reply" after you've uploaded all your pics by clicking on"Continue" and your pics will appear with your message. This is a 1951 Cub. Hal

I still can not upload a picture after I pick it and hit "upload" and it appears in the little preview window I hit "continue" and it responds "returning to upload more pictures" and that is that, no more and if I hit preview it is not there #$%^&*&%#@# even with a 400kb picture.
 
Craig, are you trying to load directly to this site, or are you using a commercial photo hosting site like Photobucket?
