[AT] Cub

[Greg Hass]

A little off the subject but still about Cubs.  A few years ago I bought 
a Cub power unit from a neighbor that had been on a combine.  He let on 
that all was fine when they junked the combine. A few months later, he 
let on that something had gone wrong with a rod bearing and that they 
had tried to fix it with a piece of tin. Well, knowing this neighbor 
there is a 99 per cent chance that the crank is ruined, so I lost 
interest in trying to get it going. A few days ago as part of another 
deal a local machinery jockey saw it and I included it in the deal; he 
will part it out for some of the gears he said he can sell. The point of 
this post is I always thought the the Cub engine was IH built but he 
claims it is a Continental engine. Can anyone on the list give me the 
straight scope on the Cub engine.
