Jim said, "I
bought this 1951 Cub from an old tobacco farmer near
Lexington, NC in 2015 and restored it over a year's
time. I was able to find and restore a 193 plow, a Cub
22 sickle mower (pictured), and an old Oliver two gang
disc to go with it. I used all of these on land I owned
at the time, but a move pretty much forced me to sell
the Cub and it's implements to a great guy from Ohio who
now farms with it and is teaching his young son the
ropes on the Cub. I'm now restoring a '59 Cub just
'cause I love to - I don't have much land to use it on,
but it's sure fun riding it and my '51 H model around
the area." |

Sometimes a
good bath is enough to make a cub look presentable.
Although this one isn't as good looking as a restored
Cub it does look a lot better than it did when it
arrived in Barnyard's barnyard. A working tractor
still deserves to look it's best. This one will
get a little more attention to detail as time goes by.

Here is a
1967 Lo-boy owned by EZ in Northern Ontario, Canada. He
says he bought it for sentimental reasons. That's a good
enough reason for us. All it takes is determination to
see the job through and you can end up with a nice
finished product.

George Willer thinks outside of the box
when it comes to Cub restoration. On the left are
the remnants of one Cub he had found. After adding
an engine from a 50-T baler that had been
converted to an oil pumper, George was on his way to
creating a whole different Cub. His idea leaned
toward a tricycle Cub and that is exactly what he ended
up with on the right.

Here is
another George Willer restoration. This is "Sandy".
Her name comes from the sand the woodchucks had partly
buried her in. The left photo shows the sand up to the
front hub. She had sat in the same spot since the owner
died. After this Cub sat for 22 years George replaced
the rusted out wheels and cleaned the fuel and ignition
systems. She was driven to the mailbox the
following day.

And again we
have a George Willer creation. The Cub on the left
looks like your typical Cub. George was able to
look at it and see something completely different.
What appears to be a Lo-lo-boy on the right is the
beginning of "Rat Cub". Many hours of thought and
labor went into bringing this Cub from George's internal
drawing board to the shop floor. Once again
perseverance paid off with another deviation from the
norm. This Cub is worthy of it's own story since
it is still being developed. We all eagerly await
the finshed product.

David Grapes purchased his Cub in
Senatobia, MS and hauled it 550 miles to his home in
Ohio. It is his first Cub and he calls him "Lee Roy". At
this time the cub is being dismantled. David said
he is taking his time, reworking all needed components
and having a blast. As echoed by many other Cub owners
David states that the help and advice of the
FarmallCub.com web site has been a Godsend.

Here is Sandra Taylor's "Buttercub" before
and after. Jim T said the wife insisted on painting it
JD yellow. He decided it is her's so she can have it JD
yellow if she wants. He says he has to admit that the
yellow looks pretty good.

Jim Foose
took his 1965 Lo-boy Cub and gave it an extreme makeover by giving it an early '60 look.
Jim says it will be his yard tractor and used for
neighborhood joy rides.

Jim Hudson of Albemarle, North Carolina put some quality
time and effort into rebuilding his Cub. This goes
to prove that when you set your mind on a goal you can
definitely succeed.

Larry (Buzzard Wing) Davis of Newport, Rhode Island
found "Cathy", a 1950 Cub at an auction and decided to
take her home. After many hours of work he ended
up with a heck of a good looking Cub.

Larry Davis also picked up Rufus one day to add to his
collection. This is a 1971 Cub that turned out to
be another great looking Cub. |
