These Cubs are starting to turn into a family affair!
My brother got me into them a few years ago and now my older son and i are pulling our Original. My younger son has shown some interest (and has driven the "O" around a little bit). He also said he'd work on one with me, if we had one.
Well, turn out that I found another Original and it's only 1,100 miles away. But, it's right down the road from my sister, so, I bought it and she went to pick it up with her hubby tonight. She sent me some pictures but that's all I've got right now until my brother (who happens to be headed up there with a trailer for his job) will be able to bring it down in about a week. He lives about 5 miles from me and will bring it down to FL when he heads home.
It's going to take some work but most of the parts are there that I'll need. The PO said that he got it from the original owner who bought it new. He hadn't had a chance to get it running but it does spin over but doesn't have spark. It could be something as simple as the points or ? It'll have to wait until it gets home to figure that one out.
There's some real "craftsmanship" on this one but, I think that if we can get it running, we'll clean it up, tear it down and give it a quick shade of yellow and cream. I'm working on a set of clam-shell fenders for it and I'm thinking about making it a narrow front end. Should be pretty cool, don't you think?
I've already got a puller, so this one would be more of a driver/show tractor. Although, I typically don't do spit and polish restorations. This one will still have to earn its keep from time to time.
Main thing is that it'll give me and the younger son something to work on together. That'll be fun.
Here's the pix until the ol' girl finds her way home.
