We think we are finally ready to start up our 1947 Farmall Cub after a long restoration process. Does anyone have any tips so that we do a thorough job of it? The process doesn't seem to be covered in any of these tons of restoration books we have.
Thanks

I'm guessing your talking about the engine. If it was done right there is no need for prelube since it should have been put togeather with it. Any time you rebuild and engine it should have some type of oil put on all parts when put in.

Hi,
Thanks for your response. We purchased the remanufactured engine from ValueBilt in the mid-west. Their pamphlet that came with the engine said, "Before starting the engine for the first time, be sure it has been properly pre-lubricated." We just don't know how to check that.

thanks

Ok in that case you need to put a little oil in each cylinder. Then with the spark plugs out and the pan full of oil as it shold be turn the engine over and watch the oil preassure gauge. Spin it till you have good oil preassure. If it does give you any reading then you will have to prime the oil pump.
