Just got my grandfather's Cub to go with my '46 A. It's serial number is 233501 which seems to make it an early '69 model. As I recall the end of the Farmall name was around that time frame and the Cub is badged an International. The thing about this Cub is that my grandfather was in possession of it since new and it has always had the Farmall/International red paint on it. However from nicks and scratches over the years I have found that most of the sheet metal is painted International yellow underneath the International red. This includes the fenders, the metal around the grill, the fan shroud, the headlights, and even inside the tool box. So what would be the story on when the rollover from red to yellow occured on the Cubs and why would International have delivered it in red if many of the parts were coming down the line with yellow paint? Were both colors being produced at the same time? I know it's always been red because I have a photo of my grandfather with his new Cub and the mule it replaced. (that's what the Cub was intended for after all) One other question.......what is the easiest way to install a front hitch on a Cub? I may end up using it to move a couple of antique airplanes in and out of their hangar and a front hitch would be needed. Thanks.

You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
