Posted by jal-SD on May 09, 2020 at 11:24:36 from (142.0.9.52):

I will have to get out to where she's kept in a couple of days to get it. I can't find my list now. My old computer that I had the list on died a couple of years ago, so don't have it on this one’s Hard Drive. Did find a copy of my sign that I take to shows, it’s a 48, not 49. Be careful, they will rare over backwards. Wife & I went down to Marysville, Kansas years back to pick up a sickle mower, the tandem disk and a mounted plow for it. The guy had advertised in one of the antique tractor magazines that he had this equipment and wanted $300 for it. I called and talked to him, he didn't have the Cub, his son had died, it was his stuff & he didn't know much about it. Because Marysville Kansas is just south of the Nebraska state line and we are not too far north of the Nebraska line, we decided to buy the stuff. Marysville is just about straight south of us.
Left on a Saturday morning, got to Marysville about noon, went out to the guys place and he loaded it for us. After talking to him, we found out that his son had been killed working with hiscub. Sad story-son was trying to pull a stump with it and it reared over back words and pinned him under it.
When we got back to Mitchell, my brother-in-law (who has since passed) swore up and down that the Cub would never pull the 4-foot tandem disk. Well, I told him that the disk was specially designed for the tractor and I was sure it would. It does, but with four concrete blocks on the gangs you have to go in low. It will cut clear to the hubs in soft ground with blocks for weights and the Cub will struggle with it. The area above the gangs will hold the blocks exactly, I am sure it was designed that way. I have never mounted the plow or the mower yet. I have the front gangs of a cultivator on it that I had to go to Valentine, Nebraska to get. (Don’t have the back “scratchers”.) Cubs are not common in our part of the world; they were simply too small to do any real work here on the upper mid-west’s great plains. I know of only a half dozen or so that come to tractor shows around here and there were only about a dozen at Red Power Roundup when it was held in Huron, SD in 2014. By the way, Red Power has been postponed to August, subject to when ever this shut-down gets straightened out. Hope you and your clan are doing fine with all this that’s going on. We are sitting tight, both of us at age 77 are vulnerable due to age and health issues if the virus comes to visit our house.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
