Farmall Cub / ready to mow

« on: June 26, 2008, 10:38:03 PM »

Between basketball and baseball seasons we decided to give Dad's Cub a bit of sprucing up. The engine was completely rebuilt 3 years ago. We had intentions of painting it then, but other projects got in the way of that.

It seems to be working fine now, my picture of the Massey tractor and threshing machine came through ok. I dragged this old thresher out of the bush where it has sat the past 50 or more years and put it out on display near the highway. Might as well be out there where people can see it. I can't find a name on this machine so don't know what to call it.

Well if it is an IHC or Case it should be wrapped up in their logos on every cast iron part. Maybe Nichols and Shepard or Avery?

Things aren't slowing down, you just can't post any new threads.

From the looks of it you are making great progress. What's the plan? Is this just a mechanical restoration or are you going to completely dissasemble and paint as you go back?

I can respond to posts but can't seem to start one. This "V-bulliten always pops up when I hit preview or submit "Please go back and fill out all required custom fields."     I don't know what other fields to fill out


I had sent Spencer a PM about this but I'm wondering if others are having the same trouble

Danny

I've been trying to post pics with a new post and get the same error you are. Haven't tried to start just a new text post. If somebody figures out what is going on, please post it!!

Yea, that is a ready-looking machine, aint it!  Loader, grader blade and sickle mower....picture 2 is definatly an Oliver (probably 88) but can anybody tell what the other tractors are?

Danny

Can't tell what the other tractors are. Is the company that made these the same that made the graders out of Farmall M's? If so, I wonder how many different brands of tractors they ever used?

I had sent an email to Henke Mfg. and asked if by chance they had information on my machine. While not having any information on my machine, Back in the archives Mr. Hood (Henke representative) found some photo's of interest. I thought I should put them up on the forum.

Danny

Is that a sickle mower in photo #3?

Its definatly neat and will hopefully be an eye catcher....I would like to have it at a tractor pull.....but I wonder if I could afford the price of fuel to run it very long:confused::eek::mad:

Danny

It can't burn that much fuel! It's like a recent discussuion I had with a fellow about his boat, if he can afford the boat, he can afford the fuel. If not he'll be affording a for sale sign!:rolleyes: We have already talked about limiting trips to our clubs show--but I'll save that discussion for another thread.

You know, a pretty paint job and then take it to a tractor pull to keep the track level would be a good way to go with this one. Might have more folks watching you than the tractor pull itself!:)

Going to need a loooooong trailer to haul that! I wonder if loading without swinging the machine on the blade would be a problem?

Don't just sit there, hook up the trailer and go get it!!!  I've seen a couple of these setups, The ones made out of a Farmall M and a Huber. The Huber had a belly mount blade as well as a small blade on the front.

There have always been those that pay near full retail for smaller items. Don't know if they just want to win something at auction or what? I just sit back and watch in amazement!:D

Any time the media mentions our hobby it is a mixed blessing. Now everybody is going to think that old tractor you want to buy from them is just like the one that sold for $100K. Actually it is, except for not being high crop, narrow tired, propane, and 3rd form the last one built (only built 274 to begin with). :rolleyes: Not to mention the one that recently sold had a pile of money invested in it.

One thing I have noticed is that some of these tractors are picking up in value despite being fairly easy to find. Yet some of the real oddballs are still going for bargain prices. Keep an eye on auction results and you will see what I mean.
