Cub Project: Need early help

Posted by F-I-T on July 10, 2004 at 18:51:15 from (149.174.164.83):

Hello!

I wanted to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Frank, and I just bought a '40's Cub that I would like to fix up and use around my little horse farm here in Tallahassee, Florida. My maternal grandad had a Cub which he purchased new in '48, so I always wanted one near in age to that one.

The one I have appears to have sat outside and maybe near the ocean for quite a while. It has rust on every piece, and though it rolls, the engine is seized. I'm even having problems getting the headbolts loose without twisting off.

Anyway, the serial number is #24425, and I was wondering what year that might make it. Also, what's the best place to find the correct parts books, ops manuals, and service manuals. I've refurbed several tractors in the past, so I know I need to find a good dealer, and get those books before I go too far.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello, and tell you that I'll be needing a lot of help and advice as this is the first IH product I've had for quite a while. In fact, the last one I worked on was a 1206 back in '71, so this one is bit different in size!

Thanks in advance,
