Posted this up in tractor talk, but
figured some folks hang around here.
Picked up another '49 cub yesterday.
Cheap enough. It was under a lean-to, the
barn burnt up. Tires are burnt. Wire
coatings burnt but the wires are intact.
Boots are still on spark plugs. Radiator
and oil still look good. Both front hubs
wouldn't turn at first. Half way on
trailer one started to turn. Mower belt
is burnt off. Fan belt was on it but when
we touched it it fell apart. Funny thing,
I don't go looking for '49 cubs but I
keep getting them. Had a stuck cub a few
years ago, '49. Purple cub '49. Burnt up
parts cub '49. Mississippi cub '49. This
one '49..... Our sons cub is a '50. And
my dad's is a '56 ? I think. Cubs around
here are holding their value pretty good.
Seen several sell for a good amount.
Looking forward to getting this one
purring again. Motor is loose and mag
snaps over good......thats a good start!
Front rims are bent. I think seller did
that dragging it out to the
driveway....... May have to hunt a
couple.
