What Is Meant By "Save The Cub"?
This is not a "how to" web site.
If you are looking for information on how to do a particular job please
check out
www.farmallcub.com.
The folks there have put together a great section that shows you how to
do many repairs simply and safely.
Save The Cub is intended to showcase
the many Farmall Cub tractors that are saved from the scrap pile by
anyone who has the desire to put a little time and effort into one.
This site will, hopefully, provide an avenue for collectors, restorers
or just your regular neighborhood guy to brag about their pride and joy.
Browse around and please, enjoy the
site!
You can go from looking like this...

...to this...

...Or you can leave it alone! It's yours to do with
as you wish.
Stock photos with your thoughts are just as welcome.
Even ugly can be beautiful.
Aren't these things fun?
Just ask any kid that's been around a Cub
and you will probably get the same answer. "They're Great"

A Little About The Cub!
In 1947 the Farmall Cub was introduced
to the American farmer. This little critter was meant to help the
small farmer who relied on horse drawn equipment.
These farmers
could not afford, nor did they need, mammoth farm machines to do their
work. The cub fit right in for them since little is what was best
to do their job.
So it was that McCormick-Farmall created
something they never intended - They created today's latest craze - "Cub
Collecting".
Today, many people around the world, from
those with big farms to your neighbor with the 1/3 acre suburban lot, are
restoring these little tractors for use in their garden, mow grass, push snow or
just to drive in their town's Memorial Day Parade.
This site is intended to introduce you not
only to the Cub, but also to the men and women dedicated to shedding the blood,
sweat and tears involved in bringing the Cub back to life.

Got a great tip?
A good page with tips on how to do this or
that is always appreciated by do-it-yourselfers. I'll take those too.
Anything that helps a fellow Cubber put his or her Cub back together.
Have You Seen Me?
Does
your Cub have a dash like this? If so how about letting us know the year
and at least the first three numbers in the serial number.
There is very little
information on this type dash and we are trying to determine it's origin.
