- 3550 Fard Backhoe and a 1948 Farmall Cub,
The last few years dad has been buying old IH tractors, ususally the offsets like A's Super A, Cub and 140's. He has several cubs and has wanted the mainline attachments for cultivation and such. When I was 16 I bought a Cub from him with the moldboard plow, blade, pickup disk, and cultivators. He said that the Cub was the first tractor they had growing up and it replaced one pair of mules.
They raised 20 acres of cotton and 20 of corn with 2 mules and a Cub. He said the most important plow they had was a disk breaker that was mid mounted for plowing heavy grownd or new ground with alot of trash. Dad said a good part of their work was breaking in new ground for others to. Dad now has 3 Cubs now and is wanting to keep one for cultivating his garden and to help me with my truck patching. He kept talking about how much he wanted a disk breaker and kept on. Last weekend Amy found a Great Dane pup she wanted and we went up there. I saw a tractor lot and they had tons of old implements. I was looking at a few things and saw a double belly disk breaker like a Super A ran. I hadnt seen one inperson and closer look next to it was a Cub Disk breaker. It was 150.00 I went back today to get the put and carried the cash to get the plow. His birthday is next weekend and my older brother and me will sand and paint it tomorrow then hide it. I couldnt beleive that it was so cheap when you can find them with a bad bearing they are at least 250 to 300. This one had very little slack in it.
