    Re: Kukje engines

    For many of us, buying a tractor is a costly investment, and long term investment. Having a strong dealership near by, and their reputation, steered me to a Kubota tractor. I have seen several tractor brands come & go with other dealer locations in the area, which when a break down occurs...

    Farmall 400 - - rear main seal replacement questions

    Greetings all - My son has a Farmall 400. It has been leaking more progressively out the rear main seal. We are getting mixed feedback whether the tractor needs to be spilt to replace that seal, or if it can be done in place. Apparently it is a felt type seal in 2 pieces. Some folks say...

    Farmall Cub - - rear PTO gear box

    Hey all - I have a 1952 Cub and just bought a rear PTO pulley & gear box for it. Pulley is a 9 diameter flat belt pulley. Try as I might, the spline won't even start. All paint has been removed and burrs checked for on both pieces. Spline count is the same. Have yet to check diameters...

    Farmall 400 starter bendix

    Greetings all - My son's 400 has starter issues. Original bendix had issues and had to be replaced. Guy at the starter shop said he's not had good luck with replacement bendixes. After hardly a month, this new bendix shattered. Tractor has been converted from 6 to 12 volt several...

    Cub steering wobble

    Hey guys - Subject: 1952 Cub Tractor has the proverbial death wobble on a bumpy road. Tie rods are tight on both ends. Spindle bearings have no noticeable movement. Tiller appears tight on the quadrant shaft sticking out of the steering gear box. Turning the steering wheel, that...

    How many 9/2/8N's..........

    .......are still around? Anyone have any good idea on how many are still out doing work? I know it'd be kinda tough to really know. Thoughts ? Guessing Henry didn't anticipate many of his products still serving their masters 70+ years after they left his plant. Just curious...

    Back blades

    Hey all - I need to buy a back blade for my new Kubota 25hp tractor. The ones at the dealership were in the $7-800 range, and noteably pretty stout in design. Are the Tarter, King Cutter & County Line series of blades (around $400 for a 6' blade) a durable blade for general use, or should I...

    Farmall cub - grinding gears hunting engine

    Hey all - I became an owner of a '52 Cub about a year ago. We've done a lot of work to it and it's been a fun little tractor. I found a snow plow for it and have been having fun in the snow (though a set of chains are being sought). Since I've had it, nearly every time I shift gears...

    Cubs snow

    This past Spring, a '52 Cub followed me home and got itself restored. Later this summer, a snow blade was found for it and mounted out front. It has pretty good AG tires in the rear with one set of weights. I know this is a small low horse power tractor, but from your experiences...

    Re: restoring tractors that were in barn fire: JD B, Intl B

    If it got that hot to burn the paint all off, the metal has been at or above the the tempering temperatures. Thus, and spring steel or heat treated metals have now lost their hardness. Somewhere I read, as a rule of thumb, that it it got hot enough to burn off the tires, that is also a bad...

    Alternator issues

    Hey all - Bought a Farmall Cub this past winter. Previous owner converted it to 12 volt with a 3 wire alternator. Everything seemed to be working well. This Fall now, the amp meter shows that it isn't charging on a regular basis, other than once in a while (based on the am meter showing...

    Equilizer bars with equipment trailers ?

    So.........while I was hooking my 28' camper up the other day, hooking up the equilizer bar system and anti-sway bar, I got to thinking that I've never seen anyone using those things for a tandem axle tractor hauler trailer. I understand that there is greater sail area on a camper, but would...

    Re: Help on a brake shaft removal and sourcing new jam nuts

    I took some grade 5 bolts and turned the taper on my lathe for a similar application on my Farmall Cub. Steiner's bolts were a bit short, being the hole in the shaft had been wallered out some. That m ade sure I had adequate threads to screw in, and support a jam nut (hardware store item in...

    Those of you who extended the width of a Cub....

    I am considering adding an axle trumpet to the LEFT side of my '52 Cub & adding another seat for a buddy rider. I've seen photos on line where folks have done this. It appears that this trumpet, and longer axle within, should bolt up directly to the left side of the transmission. The...

    Making a Cub......faster ?

    Hey all - I have a '52 Cub that will spend much of it's time as a butt-buggy. Factory top speed is 6 mph. Any relatively easy ways to increase the that 6mph to 8 or 10mph ? Guessing the easiest way is to tamper with the governor. What would be needed there? Any other ideas ...

    Tying down a Cub

    How & what do you Cub owners attach your straps/chains to on the front half of your tractors when they need to be trailered? The front end is pretty light on these tractors and don't want to stress/break anything. Thinking about permanently mounting a couple hooks to the cultivator...

    Farmall Cub missing

    Working on a project '52 Cub. Running at most speeds, either sitting in the garage, or driving down a level road, I get a miss every 1-3 seconds. Climbing some steep hills, the miss seems to go away. Starts & drives OK. Have played with carburator adjustments with no change. Any clues as...

    Farmall Cub touch control

    Hey all - I have a touch control unit apart on my bench to repair some leaky seals. Upon dismantling, the larger brass screen filter was shredded. Watching the Steiner repair video, the filter taken from that Cub's touch control unit was in the same shape. Was this a common problem...

    When is a 19XX tractor NOT a 19XX anymore ?

    Was thinking last night. Over time, some tractors had engines replaced, transmissions replaced, wheel arrangements changed (narrow to wide), numerous parts from other donor tractors replace, or new/old stock parts added, or reproduction parts added. This is happening more and more as they...
