[AT] Farmall tractor

[Larry D. Goss]

ROTFLMAO!

I have some unique problems related to "ballast" too.  Unfortunately,
the Cub is long gone.  I sold it to a cousin up near Grand Rapids.  He
restored it (along with an H and an A) and a few years later was forced
to sell his beginning collection because of some lifestyle changes
brought on by age and health.  So it's out there somewhere.  It's
probably off toward the east shore of Lake Michigan in the Muskegon
area.

Larry,

What you say is true of the A, but the Cubs always had the same wheels
on
both sides.  Considering that that little engine is offset only 7 1/2",
most
Cubs with an adult operator have more weight on the right wheel.

If you had a cast wheel for a Cub, you should have kept it... it would
be
valuable.  I currently own 24 Cub rear wheels, and they are all pressed
steel.  I could use a heavier one for the LEFT side to offset the weight
of
the driver.
