After cutting my teeth on a restoration of a 1949 8N a while back, yesterday I pulled the trigger on what appears to be a 1950 Farmall Cub. Although this is not my first red tractor (I own an M) I have not spent a lot of time (lurking or posting) on the Farmall section of YT. You all may see me here in the next several months as the restoration of 251341R2 (12/16/T)gets underway. And there will be several questions as she comes to me with a gentle push onto the trailer. The 6 volt battery appears to be toast and the gas tank leaking. Other immediate concerns I noted was the rear fenders and water filled rear tires. The rubber looks good, but I am betting the rims are toast. She does turn over so she is not stuck, but I nervously await the official kickoff to see what I really have. And it will have to wait, step #1 is to hold the first garage sale in years to clear out "the garage sale pile" that by now has morphed into a heap. The good news I will recoup some of the $800 bucks it took to own my Farmall Cub and the pile of discs, blade and belly mower that came with her. I figure the project is getting underway in the best possible way, my red headed hippie chic friend came along to help me pick it up!
So, while I anxiously await the garage sale and the beginning of the project....okay, maybe it already started, I tool the carb off and will rebuild/clean before asap, I welcome all of your comments, suggestions and heads up on references that will help me pull off a great restoration.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. 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
