[Farmall] Cubs 'n such

[Larry L Hardesty]

Steve,  I have a Cub I am working to put a front blade on.   I have the 
blade but missing some parts.   Will the front blade put any undue stress 
on the front axle of the Cub or anything else.  Just curious about its 
use.

Thanks

Re: [Farmall] Cubs 'n such






Greetings from Douglas County Nevada (5000' at the eastern slope of the 
Sierras)
 
The lo-boy is a 1959 IH with fast hitch. I rebuilt the engine and cleaned 
it 
all up. It has front and rear wheel weights and runs like a sewing 
machine. I 
 bought a woods 42" mower that adapts via the fast hitch and use it for 
mowing  down one acre of wild flowers every November. I put a Zenith carb 
on it 
which I  have on all my cubs  (great power).
Bob, I acquired the lo-boy in 1998 (my first tractor). Had to go to Butte 
to 
get it! Karl has seen it.
I have one 1953 Cub with a front blade I use regularly here for plowing 
snow. It is just amazing how much snow this machine can push with no 
chains 
(level concrete and downhill). The '53 is restored and well painted and 
has 
original everything including lights (all 3 with the special tail light!).
I love taking a cub down to the metal and redoing it. I learned a lot 
about 
mechanics and how they work.
Thanks to everybody on this list.
