In Reply to: Cubs as snow machines posted by Pat-CT on December 16, 2007 at 14:56:17:

Pat: I've never plowed snow with a Cub, however I can tell you a Super A, 100, 130 or 140 are about 5 times the tractor a Cub is on most work. We had a Cub for 8 years when new, and traded it for a 130. Cub will come in slightly over 1,500# and the others around 2,400# shipping weight. The SA, 100, 130 or 140 are very little longer or wider, thus are just as manuverable in close working quarters.

While the Cub is a nice little tractor, it's built quite different from all the larger Farmalls. Bear in mind ours was bought new, yet was always a pain in the butt on carburation and ignition. The little 60 cubic inch engine turns well over 2,000 rpm to come up with 10-12 hp, that in itself almost doubles engine wear over the others. 1st and 2nd gear are too slow for most work, yet it has little more than enough power in 3rd to move itself.

Our driveway at home was quite a steep pitch, and one had to do everything just right to make that grade in high gear with the Cub. 130 would climb that hill very little off idle in high gear. Last but not least those Cub engines don't have sleeves, by now they have to be near the end of their rebuild life. My recomendation, I you want a show tractor for little use, buy the Cub. The others are useful, and every bit as sharp at shows.

I realize this may insult some Cub owners, however I speak from experience.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana. ... [Read Article]
