Sometime around the end of 1954 or the beginning of 1955 when the Cub hood was redesigned, IH eliminated the two holes in the hood used to oil the generator.  Later in 1955 those holes reappeared.

This page will be used to track the serial numbers of Cubs with out the holes to determine if there was a numerical sequence during Cub Production in early 1955.  If you have a Cub from 1955 and would like to help us track these numbers, please send your serial number and general location so we can add it to the database. For privacy reasons, you do not have to submit your name.

As it stands now the following has been determined:
