Lots of Cub parts out there. The only thing to consider on a Cub, is that it is NOT a sleeved engine. If the cylinders are fairly worn, you will have to send the block out to be bored and honed to the next correct oversize that pistons and rings are available for. There is a practical limit as to how much overbore you can go.
Other than that, they are a fun little tractor that have more uses that you would think. I don't think that a better snow plowing machine exists. small, manuverable, and surprising push power with weight and chains. If you put domes pistons in it, you can squeeze a bit more HP out of it. It is 9 HP at the belt and 8 at the drawbar.
Been using one for a 1+acre garden for years. Plows, disks, hills potatoes, cultivates, plants corn, etc.
I like all sizes of tractors, but the Cub is great for smaller jobs and general around the house/farm chores.
