I am cleaning up the farmstead I inherited from my Uncle, and keeping the things that I am most likely to use "someday", and putting a lot of the rest on ebay. I am familiar with most of the older IH stuff, but have never owned a Cub, or done any major work on one, so I'm lost here! (We have a shop, and do a lot of repair work for others on the farm.) I came across a Cub block, stored up on a shelf for many years. Now, I know my Uncle never owned a Cub, so he must have picked the block up somewhere along the way. It is a bare block, lightly rusted from storage, with the main caps in place, and all four pistons inserted in their bores, down to the piston rings, and lightly (I hope) stuck. What I am wondering, is there any common problem that would have caused the block to be set aside many years ago, such as cracking between the cylinders, or between the valve seats? Any specifics I should double check before putting it up on ebay? If it is not cracked, and the bores will clean up at, say, .010", what would be a fair starting price? The stamped number on the block is IMCUBM19186, the casting date code is 3.15.W, and the casting number is 251341R2. Any thoughts or insights would be appreciated. I hope the disclaimer at the top will prevent anyone whom this may offend from having to read it, and my appologies to the rest!

However the number of AC tractors still in existence today as either restored or unrestored examples is a testament to the quality of their products. This in itself is always apparent here in the U.K when attempting a purchase, as no matter what the model or condition the price will always be strong.
