[Farmall] Cubs 'n such

[SteveOrear at aol.com]

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.
