I had a collapsed lung and broken collar bone. In 1998 I restored the tractor for my father for fathers day. Over the years I have acquired some cool items for it. A NOS tachometer, Spark arrestor, pre cleaner, tire inflator. I also have according to the IH museam one of if not the only complete set of tools that were given out with the tractors when new. They were willing to give whatever I wanted for it. Before Supers I did cubs at one time I had as many as 6.
Never seen a pre cleaner on a Cub air filter, rarely see them on anything else. Whats the story of the spark arrestor? I can't ever recall seeing one on a tractor, just power units on balers and combines. Was the intended market for running inside of barns and poultry houses? I've seen maybe 2 tachs. You've definetly got it decked out with some options!
