The Cub Gets Tested! Antique farm tractor in operation on the farm. Vintage farm tractor in operation on the farm. #farmallfanatic #farmall #antiquetractors
Very nice! If your cubs sat for a while before you got them its a good idea to pop the gear shifter off your cubs and check the front and rear bearing lube passages. Both of mine were clogged up with gunk, and it ended up costing me a set of bearings. With the shifter off you can see the passages and the lube holes that need to stay clear, would make a good prevention video and might save someone a set of bearings.
Another cub-positive channel made a few 2x2 shelves in his barn to store all the bits and pieces for every Cub attachment, shelf for cultivator, one for planter, etc. Others I have seen make a short pallet bin and then stack them. Maybe helpful. Cub can be a swiss army knife but there's nothing to keep all the parts gathered in your pocket.
Garden tractor or tobacco patch tractor for sure. Most everyone used then to cultivate tobacco fields back in the day. Leave plowing for the Bigger Boys.
I use emery cloth to find polish shafts, paint can also be hard to remove, cozmolene or high temperature anti seize. Try giving that moldboard a shot of that PB Blaster or torpedo juice in the can. A super shiny slick moldboard will slice right through the soil.
Excellent video Gino :) also learning experience on each tractor farmers have and got tested out too ! I know my late Dad , Uncle Bill discussing about there plow experience in small to medium to big hp tractor plus on plowing or any feilds work to ! Also sometimes just Lol and said boom 💥 we did it!
I'm glad you got to get some plowing done ! Sounds like you were a little disappointed in the way it plowed . I was checking how wet my land was before watching this and I'm hoping by Thursday to try some plowing with the M . Thanks for sharing and have a great evening !
My cub plows a 50’ by 70’ garden makes me feel like a real farmer lol and have 12 laying hens in my small barn. Now thinking of putting up a hoop greenhouse!
Big gardens is where the Cub shines. A neighbor had one with the mower like yours and a 1 bottom for his big garden. I believe he had a small pull type disc and a spring tooth harrow also.
That cub did a great job, one bottom plowing. Yeah, I'd wait for the ground to get a little bit more dryer it did do a great job on plowing go red power is number one 👍
Another great action video thanks. I think if the moboard gets shiny you will see better results but yes probably more for garden area type plowing. I used to be a big fan of PB blaster and then I came across a product called Freall works really well for me but sometime back I was at NAPA Store and got some penetrate fluid they suggested and now it might be even better. I need to put one of my two way plows on my cub and plow my garden. Then put my disk and disk it might just go straight to disk not sure. Just got it painted last fall not really excited about scratching it up o well
Crank down the leveling crank some more on the back so it's running level with the right wheels in the furrow and work you draft control lever until it goes in good then level it out and it should plow fine.
Hello Gino looks strong enough to me. Think it worked great. Need to put your colter on makes a better cut would turn over nicer. My opinion have a great day
So funny the comment you take the hitch off the tractor you lose it. That field the horse would need to take a break after it reached each end. If I had an acre or less garden I would have every attachment to use that cub to plow and fit ground. We had a 5 foot pull disc and would finish the ground with an old rusty metal bed spring for a drag. I think the coulter would have helped to cut the grass a bit to keep it from building up on the beam. It was starting to shine up pretty nice. I liked the old iron with attachments. You go to the shows you only see a pristine tractor with no idea what would fit on it.
That had to have been a pretty husky triplesix to handle five bottoms I pulled a 3 by 16 420 international with mine and it gave it all they wanted. I will say this realizing soil conditions vary from area to area we are in Western Pennsylvania and have some clay mixed with our topsoil. 2464 gas job and I'm hauling a 422 by 16 with it and it plows right along. Fact the matter it does as well or better than the 75 see that I had been hauling the two bottoms with. Little rascals kind of fun to plow listen to safe putting hours on the Newer tractor
@@FarmallFanatic pretty good for 10 hp! I think it will do a lot better, once that Moulboard gets polished shiny ,and a little more adjustment In my opinion, you just can't beat a 2 or 3 bottom mcCormick trailer type plow pulled with a H or M or similar size tractor! Those plows always do a fine job, and always do a better job than a mountet plow, at least in the ground that I've used them in! You've sure got some nice tractors!
Ground too wet and plow not set up correctly. Or I should say fast hitch. On the depth adjuster assembly, needs to be set lower in the flat bar adjustment. That allows plow to go deeper
If at first you don't succeed keep trying I'm sure the little cub will master the plough 💪👍 never having seen a fast hitch apart from on your channel there seems to be a lot of possible adjustments that can be used Red Power 💥💪👍
Well Gino talkin about soil conditions we plowed here two weeks ago. Ground worked once last week we planted today. By the time I got the fertilizer home and got going we only got about 5 hours of drilling in, however that only leaves 3 acres for tomorrow. Are current conditions are what I would call better than optimum right now if anything it's a little too dry.
Well we planted oats, alfalfa, and Timothy. They'll stand the cold I've seen us have oats for inches tall and be picking up through a mid-to-late April snow and it never faze them
I sell shaden I certainly wouldn't be comfortable putting corn in the ground or beans at this point but these early season crops like oats and hay will take it. Had a guy call me this afternoon looking for the sorghum-sudan then he ordered, I don't believe he's up on how susceptible to frost it can be I'm going to have to explain to him you don't plant that in April
Try breaking it open with the little genius and see if it works better when it climbs down in a deeper dead furrow. I’ve plowed with the cub and even with the moldboard sporting some rusty crusty, it still will bury itself after the dead furrow gets deep enough. Great video! Makes me wish the ground was a touch drier so I can play too. I’m switching to no till on the bulk of my acreage but I still need to smell dirt every year. When are you going to hook up all the cubs together and pull the little genius with the whole fleet of cubs?
Not sure if it will make a different but I believe on the lower shaft on your fast hitch (the one you removed to free up) the cast pieces on the end are upside down. Might be throwing off the draw bar pull angle. I could send you a picture of mine with the plow on it but I don't know if I can on here. Great videos!
@@FarmallFanatic My fast hitch plow is a super chief bottom not a little genius style, it does a beautiful job and we here very heavy ground here in southern Erie county NY.
The depth lever has adjustable holes down where it fastens to hitch .put in bottom hole and tip of plow will sink into ground. You will change your Mind guaranteed. Turn adjustment in back will determine how much it rolls ground over . 😊
Put the coulter on, level the plow, and go a bit deeper. You’ll be happier. Not working the Cub yet. I use 1st gear and it makes the tractor work. The H will be twice as fast; twice the bottoms!
I got a question. Where the pin was that somebody jerry rigged on the fast hitch.... Is there no grease fitting in that area so that bar can slide back and forth easier?
Getting ready to purchase a Cub with a horizontal exhaust... Only planning on using it to cultivate. Anyone think the horizontal exhaust would be hard on crops as I cultivate? Is it much of a task in changing over to vertical thru the hood?
Man the auction I went to the other day 4 bottom Plows where going dirt cheap 1 of them sold for $85 and others two sold for $125 and they where heavy duty and in great condition don't know why they went cheap but the 1 2 and 3 bottom went higher and I don't understand that
@@FarmallFanatic okay because 1 2 and 3 bottom can be handled the harness small to a medium sized tractor like everyone has and only the four bottoms can be handled behind big tractors
really the original sub compact but i ran a super c and it would fit better than the cub and as for plowing my farmall friend a 5488 with a 6 bottom oliver plow we rolled dirt for sure then team it with the 1086 on the 4 bottom super chief we turned acres under

Yea I watch him too
Got to love the language in those old manuals. "average soil conditions" or my favorite "2-3 plow tractor in most soil conditions".
Yeah quite humorous
Garden tractor or tobacco patch tractor for sure. Most everyone used then to cultivate tobacco fields back in the day. Leave plowing for the Bigger Boys.
Like you said, be perfect for gardens or small plots. Probably not ideal for your fields. But hey, at least you had fun and got to turn some ground!
I have some adjustments to make and I think it will do a better job once I make those adjustments
You had to work for that!! Enjoyed seeing it the field and hearing your thoughts about how it did.
Pushes better than it pulls
I use emery cloth to find polish shafts, paint can also be hard to remove, cozmolene or high temperature anti seize. Try giving that moldboard a shot of that PB Blaster or torpedo juice in the can. A super shiny slick moldboard will slice right through the soil.
Excellent video Gino :) also learning experience on each tractor farmers have and got tested out too ! I know my late Dad , Uncle Bill discussing about there plow experience in small to medium to big hp tractor plus on plowing or any feilds work to ! Also sometimes just Lol and said boom 💥 we did it!
He had to show his big Farmall brothers in the shed that he could do it also 😁keep crushin it FF💥🇺🇸💥
I'm glad you got to get some plowing done ! Sounds like you were a little disappointed in the way it plowed . I was checking how wet my land was before watching this and I'm hoping by Thursday to try some plowing with the M . Thanks for sharing and have a great evening !
I definitely have adjustments to make but it was my first time ever using it
Great video , those pins do tend to walk away 😁 cubby did great 🇺🇸
I'm gonna put it back on tomorrow l o l
@@FarmallFanatic we all have to remember the hp’s in the cub, but I get what your saying that it pushes better than it pulls. Great little tractor!🇺🇸
My cub plows a 50’ by 70’ garden makes me feel like a real farmer lol and have 12 laying hens in my small barn. Now thinking of putting up a hoop greenhouse!
Do it 👌
@@FarmallFanatic I think I will and I’m 30 miles north west of NYC as the crow flies! Love that Red Power!
She's having a hard time flipping the dirt you better get the big tractor
She's having a hard time flipping the dirt while the dirt is flipping
Nice!
Fiddy fi cubinator 🚨#800👍🍻
Big gardens is where the Cub shines. A neighbor had one with the mower like yours and a 1 bottom for his big garden. I believe he had a small pull type disc and a spring tooth harrow also.
I know where there is a fast hitch disk but he won't sell it
It's good to see the cubb in action....Gives me a better idea of what's needed....
Yeah you want that fast hitch
@@FarmallFanatic yes sir..
That cub did a great job, one bottom plowing. Yeah, I'd wait for the ground to get a little bit more dryer it did do a great job on plowing go red power is number one 👍
I'll give it several more tries and nice dry ground
When I plowing I love the dirt to turn great that way don't have to disked much plant quick. Boom 👍
Pro tip the trailer hitch on the fast hitch can be turned around and pin reinstalled so you don’t loose the hitch.
Another great action video thanks. I think if the moboard gets shiny you will see better results but yes probably more for garden area type plowing. I used to be a big fan of PB blaster and then I came across a product called Freall works really well for me but sometime back I was at NAPA Store and got some penetrate fluid they suggested and now it might be even better. I need to put one of my two way plows on my cub and plow my garden. Then put my disk and disk it might just go straight to disk not sure. Just got it painted last fall not really excited about scratching it up o well
Plowing you shouldn't really scratch it up
Kinda what I thought would happen. I knew it could do it...I never doubted that, but wasn't as positive on how well it would.
I agree I have used a one bottom mounted plow on Massey Harris Pony got about the same result it works but not like using a bigger plow or tractor.
Crank down the leveling crank some more on the back so it's running level with the right wheels in the furrow and work you draft control lever until it goes in good then level it out and it should plow fine.
I've learned a lot since this video in the next one I believe will be much better
@@FarmallFanatic It just takes practice. I could turn land with a 140 in my sleep but one never used the large ones. I'd like to sometime.
I figured it out ...Tuesdays video 📹
It's about time you clean up the tractor shed
You can do it and I'll give you ten dollars
I'm definitely watching this again when I put my fast hitch on my cub.
It's amazing how these tractors refused to die sad thing is future generations will not say the same about current equipment
You are correct
Hello Gino looks strong enough to me. Think it worked great. Need to put your colter on makes a better cut would turn over nicer. My opinion have a great day
I'll upload a part 2 soon.
@@FarmallFanatic I'll probably enjoy that to. I wish I had some ground to plow well I guess I could will see. See you then
@@jamesmorrison1884 Look for an acre of flat ground... That's about all you need for one of these.
So funny the comment you take the hitch off the tractor you lose it. That field the horse would need to take a break after it reached each end.

Still a great video 📹
You ever planning on doing a full restoration on a farmall?
No i'm on the road too much
This kind of plowing is so much better😂
I’m probably singing to the choir but. If you have a real gravely field and get her to shine up I can believe how nice mine works
Great video
This was the first run
Yep. Just a thought. Mine is a 1947. Absolutely my baby.
👍👍
The first tractor I plowed with was a 1948 cub, then 15 min later, I was plowing with a farmall 666 with a 5 bottom plow.
It's night and day isn't it
@@FarmallFanatic I also like that the 666 has a radio and cassette player.
666 with 5 bottoms?
THAT would be a record !
That had to have been a pretty husky triplesix to handle five bottoms I pulled a 3 by 16 420 international with mine and it gave it all they wanted. I will say this realizing soil conditions vary from area to area we are in Western Pennsylvania and have some clay mixed with our topsoil. 2464 gas job and I'm hauling a 422 by 16 with it and it plows right along. Fact the matter it does as well or better than the 75 see that I had been hauling the two bottoms with. Little rascals kind of fun to plow listen to safe putting hours on the Newer tractor
Hopefully Snow is DONE for this season!
Chad is awesome 👌
It is here
@@FarmallFanatic pretty good for 10 hp!
I think it will do a lot better, once that Moulboard gets polished shiny ,and a little more adjustment

Now that you said no snow, watch it will snow😂
@@LauraBruno33 right about now, in sw WI, back in the late 70s, we had a huge snowstorm!
Ground too wet and plow not set up correctly. Or I should say fast hitch. On the depth adjuster assembly, needs to be set lower in the flat bar adjustment. That allows plow to go deeper
First time using it...got it now
If at first you don't succeed keep trying I'm sure the little cub will master the plough 💪👍 never having seen a fast hitch apart from on your channel there seems to be a lot of possible adjustments that can be used Red Power 💥💪👍
Yes these tractors work very well but you have to have them adjusted perfectly
Looks like the hogs been rootin in that field. I think You need to put that coulter on and let them hydraulics down.
Red Power 💪🏼❤️💥 all day 💥 every day 💥
That stile pin you took out was the oem pin they were them wearing pins
I'm replacing it regardless.. Not everything OEM was good in my opinion

Well we planted oats, alfalfa, and Timothy. They'll stand the cold I've seen us have oats for inches tall and be picking up through a mid-to-late April snow and it never faze them
@@guydaubenspeck9206 Oh yeah most definitely

My old a and the one bottom did good but you you can’t beat a m or h makes the job a lot quicker
Try breaking it open with the little genius and see if it works better when it climbs down in a deeper dead furrow. I’ve plowed with the cub and even with the moldboard sporting some rusty crusty, it still will bury itself after the dead furrow gets deep enough.
Great video! Makes me wish the ground was a touch drier so I can play too. I’m switching to no till on the bulk of my acreage but I still need to smell dirt every year. When are you going to hook up all the cubs together and pull the little genius with the whole fleet of cubs?

I figure it out today. There will be an upcoming video where the cub gets its revenge on me lol
@@FarmallFanatic My fast hitch plow is a super chief bottom not a little genius style, it does a beautiful job and we here very heavy ground here in southern Erie county NY.
Like I said the cub pays me back l o l
Good honest review. Did you notice any front end lifting?
No but since this video.. I have made adjustments and I believe I will be uploading that video on Tuesday
Getting it done on the 55!!
I can't hear you talkin about the plow the engine is making too much noise maybe check the oil
Burp
You won't be happy tol you get it done.
You are correct
The depth lever has adjustable holes down where it fastens to hitch .put in bottom hole and tip of plow will sink into ground. You will change your Mind guaranteed. Turn adjustment in back will determine how much it rolls ground over . 😊
Yeah i've got a long way to go until i'm settled in to plowing with this tractor
St put a 7 16th bolt in the hole dont forget to move the rim inside the center
The CUBINATOR is going to plowtown!
Ur nickname ahahahahahahaha
@@FarmallFanatic 🤣
Would a coating of slip plate help that slide better next time?
I got a few adjustments I need to make still
You do need to have that cutler on there and look like from where Iam at about three inches deeper
I agree on both
With as much aggregate as you have in your soil, I was quite surprised to see that the plow did not scour quickly like I thought it would.
Part two will be next week
Put the coulter on, level the plow, and go a bit deeper. You’ll be happier. Not working the Cub yet. I use 1st gear and it makes the tractor work. The H will be twice as fast; twice the bottoms!
Well like I said it was my first time doing it
@@FarmallFanatic keep trying; you’ll get it👍
You are a farmall jedi.
The force is with me
I got a question. Where the pin was that somebody jerry rigged on the fast hitch.... Is there no grease fitting in that area so that bar can slide back and forth easier?
Not that I noticed apparently that pin was original but to mean just because it's original doesn't mean it's the best design
@@FarmallFanatic just out of curiosity would you be willing to put in a grease zerk on the outer bar or you want to keep it all original?
A coulter is good on heavy residue fields
Yep
Seemed like your plow needs to be adjusted another 1 or 2 inches deeper.
I'll get it
Cut a coil or two off that Gov spring and throw the power to it lol .
I had so many things going through my mind... I will improve l o l
The fitty fave
Fitty figh fitty figh
@@FarmallFanatic hahaha 🤣 that’s awesome dude
Getting ready to purchase a Cub with a horizontal exhaust... Only planning on using it to cultivate.
Anyone think the horizontal exhaust would be hard on crops as I cultivate?
Is it much of a task in changing over to vertical thru the hood?
I'm not sure it will hit the crops
@@FarmallFanatic Sounds good👍 I'm gonna risk it for the bisket and change it only if necessary !! Thanks for the response!
I've seen others tend their gardens with same type exhaust. And it is a little to the side of the plants usually.
Coulter makes it easier to plow makes a difference
Definitely
You don't have it set right. It will roll 12 inches of dirt with the best of them.
Part two coming up
Man the auction I went to the other day 4 bottom Plows where going dirt cheap 1 of them sold for $85 and others two sold for $125 and they where heavy duty and in great condition don't know why they went cheap but the 1 2 and 3 bottom went higher and I don't understand that
Food plotters
@@FarmallFanatic okay because 1 2 and 3 bottom can be handled the harness small to a medium sized tractor like everyone has and only the four bottoms can be handled behind big tractors
really the original sub compact but i ran a super c and it would fit better than the cub and as for plowing my farmall friend a 5488 with a 6 bottom oliver plow we rolled dirt for sure then team it with the 1086 on the 4 bottom super chief we turned acres under
That would do it
it'll be a while before we get the A hooked up.. lol
Why are you buried in snow?
@@FarmallFanatic yes sir.. :(
The 14in with coulter.....
Yea
The hitch just turnit around and put the pin back in
I thought about that
I'd slow down and adjust the crap out of it. It looked like it was trying. No match for the H though.
By the end of summer I will have this thing mastered
One you don't have it set right. You really do need the culture in front. It's not flipping the furrow properly.
One you do know it was my first time EVER USING IT right?
We plow in heavy shell ground
I'm going to put the fourteen inch on it
Don't know why I like ur Cub & hate the H
There's a lot of people like that
Get some good Nickel anti-seize marine grade nickel
And one more thing to my other comment a little slower would turn it over a lot better
I am in no position to argue l o l
How many of us have measured with a dollar bill 🖐🏼
