    Prepping the 48 cub

    Majic says to sit 24hrs between coats do,a sanding with fine grit before the second coat. I followed that and after sanding it gets blown off and wiped down before the second coat.

    Prepping the 48 cub

    Thanks for that. For now, I think I’m going to leave them as is and address later. I have a soft deadline of next weekends Aug 8, 2025 Ohio Valley Antique machinery show to finish the paint and re-assemble. It’s getting tight…

    Help with TSC sediment bowl fuel line adapter to 5/16 hose.

    I’m looking for the correct adapter to go from a TSC sediment bowl to a 5/16” fuel line. Does anyone know what size adapter this takes or a link where I can buy one?

    Prepping the 48 cub

    the first coat of top coat. Taken today. I’m tired of sanding and washing. I have one more round to catch some spots missed because of angles + the other side of parts (fenders, grill, etc…). Then likely one more for a second coat covering all major exposed areas.

    Prepping the 48 cub

    This is painted and washed with grey sand-able primer. This was taken yesterday.

    Prepping the 48 cub

    For each side of the front steering assembly, it’s the top of the support arm where it goes through the axle. The fan mount has also been brazed. It’s clearly been wrecked, hit something, etc…

    Prepping the 48 cub

    Black epoxy primer. Tomorrow, I plan to put the wheels back on and primer where it is sitting on blocks. While that dries, I’ll prep other components for the epoxy primer. Then come back to this and start with sandable ‘grey’ primer. Then while the grey is drying I’ll “hopefully” do epoxy on the...

    Prepping the 48 cub

    After second pressure washing I’m certain the front end has been wrecked and repaired. Here are some shots of an epoxy buried under decades of grease. Both joints for front wheels have this epoxy and so does the fan mount - which explains how the fan gouged the old radiator. For now I’ll keep...

    Prepping the 48 cub

    John and showcrop, you both do beautiful work. This won’t be that great but for a first project, I’m pleased. If successful as I think it will be I might move on and do a farmall 140 next - the next size up. My goal is to get the tractors moving again and being used.

    Prepping the 48 cub

    These were taken after tearing down and the first round of oven cleaner/ pressure washing. The mag, radiator, carb, air cleaner, seat, hydrologic control arms, and wheels are all now removed. It’s currently soaking in more oven cleaner for the day/night and I’ll pressure wash it again in the...

    Prepping the 48 cub

    Prepping my cub. I’m first using oven cleaner and then lightly with pressure washer, staying away from gaskets and other sensitive areas. In this pict I’ve move it outside and have started cleaning. I need to buy more cleaner and will remove the wheels for a final cleaning. This is the same...

    Cleaning radiator/ block tank with radiator removed.

    It’s now sitting outside for the wash. Also, I figured since I was going down that far, why not remove other components and clean it up with a coat of paint. I’ll start a new post there for painting. Here’s the prep for washing the bolster and block. I’ll remove the lower tube and clean more...

    Cleaning radiator/ block tank with radiator removed.

    It looks like sparkle isn’t available and might harm the gaskets. Others recommend evapo-rust, which uses a different chemical and won’t harm the metal.

    Cleaning radiator/ block tank with radiator removed.

    This is a 48 farmall cub, so a non-pressurized system. I assume I pressure wash the bottom where the lower hose is removed and same for the top hose. Should I use any cleaner?
