I just completed the restoration of my 1939 Huber L after a little over two years, uncountable hours, and unmentionable dollars. Everything came apart except for some of the studs in the engine and transmission. Thanks for all of the help of people on this forum, the Huber museum, friends and my family.

GREAT JOB!!!

Thanks for all of the nice comments. It truly was a labor of love and a tribute to the great people who built this country be they farmers, workers, or those who protected it all. I never really appreciated history or antiques until I found old tractors.

As far as parts go, you kind of have to make what you don't have. I was lucky that the tractor was in great shape internally. The engine is the same as an Oliver 80 and the tractor was fairly complete. The parts that were not there or real bad could be fabricated (sheet metal, bushings, etc). The front wheel inners were saved from the original with new rim bands attached to the centers.

I'm not going to do another tractor for a while, but I know that the bug usually gets me in late summer and I need another. I plan on taking it to the Gathering of the Hubers this summer in Marion, OH where it was built and local shows here in Western Pennsylvania.

Thanks again for the nice words.

Very Nice Job! That is one snappy looking tractor with the colors, the pin striping, new tires, and the great design of the tractor. Your efforts really show. It is proof that tractors didn't have to be styled to look good. A couple of friends of mine restored a Huber model HK and it is a super sharp looking tractor too....I'm sort of a John Deere guy, but when I see something like that I say "Hubers Forever"!

Beautiful job. We supply oats for thrashing at the local steam/old tractor show. Last summer, a fellow showed up with his Huber, wanted a try at it. So they backed the steamer off, and belted the Huber. Ran it like a dream! Owner was concerned that we were supplying the oats in bale form instead of shocks. Thought the Huber might not be able to run it.... He needn"t worried.

What a beautiful sight. That would be my dream project. Growing up in Ohio we were on a rotating list for baling and threshing. One threshing macine in the whole west end ofthe county and the threasher would arrive behind the most glorious tractor in the world, A HUBER. I am not sure but I believe it had a cab on it like a steam tractor. Any how, what a beautiful job. I am full of envy and awe.

WOW! What a transformation. And in 2 years...

Where did the replacement parts come from? I mean it's not like you drop by your local Tisco dealer. Were you able to repair that front wheel? I shudder to think of the money involved...

Let's go Mountaineers,

Aaron
