1949 Farmall Cub Implements

[Worksmart]

Rich - I looked at the 3-point conversion, too. $500 +/- to get it done. I did my homework/research and found that money would easily get me a couple implements for the existing set-up. Patience, patience.......did I say patience is the key to finding this stuff. You can't go to your Case/IH dealer to get the tractor or implements but it is amazing how many parts are available for both at the dealer and other places. Once you find the tractor/implement maintaining them is the easy part.

Cute little guys, aren't they??C

My father bought his Cub brand new in 1946. It had cultivators, plows, harrows, and a cool grader blade that fits on the fron like a snowplow, or in the middle like a grader. No telling how many hours are on the old girl, but she's still goin'.
I see implements for Cubs all of the time. If you keep your eyes open, you won't have any trouble finding just about anything.

I have the standard drawbar. Have you ever seen a planter for this type of bar?

Thanks

Thanks for all the posts. I cultivated my corn this weekend. IH called it "cultivision" you look below and you can see if you are on target. I only have front cults on. It is perfect for the small farm/garden. Still using the JD 755 for tilling, mowing, etc.

For $2-$3K you can get one in perfect restored condition and everyone goes nuts when they see this thing. If it ever dies it becomes lawn art. But they seem to last forever.

Rob - I haven't seen one in person but in my manuals. There were a few different available for the standard drawbar equipped Cub. C

I am fairly certain the planter is mid-mount.

Thanks for all of your posts.

As suggested I got the catalog of all of the implements. There were many. the planters are midmount and look very complicated to attach. How difficult is it to hook up the various implements for this tractor?

It takes me 20 minutes to hook up a four foot tiller to the 3PH and PTO of my JF 755.

I am all thumbs.

I guess my statement wasn't very clear. Planters for drawbar tractors were typically midmount and some planters for fast hitch tractors were rear mount. You can still get new rear mount planters from Powell for the fast hitch. C

My Cub only has the drawbar and not the fasthitch. How difficult is it to hook up midmount implements especially if they use the hydraulics or PTO?

Thanks in advance

I see implements, and tractors on the internet all the time. Unfortunately, they are usually in the mid-west and east. I got my "A" 'cause I was unable to find a Cub out here at the time.

There are always Cub's and implements out on Ebay. Just do a search on "Farmall".
