[AT] Cubs

[Mike Sloane]

Some people think of the Cub as a 3/4 scale A, but it actually was 
designed from the ground up as a different tractor. Ken Updike's 
"Farmall Cub & Cub Cadet" book has the story. The engine, of course is 
entirely different (and is the only flathead engine without sleeves that 
IH ever built, as far as I know), but everything else reflected IH 
engineering of the period. And, as most first time Cub owners quickly 
discover, it has a unique PTO like nothing else on the planet.
