To me it seems there are a lot of people on this forum that work on Cubs. I am currently restoring a 1948 cub. This is the smallest of my tractors as I have several letter series tractors. The Cub is great to work on; because it has all the components of the Farmall Super A, but smaller. I like the fact that I can lift all the parts (even the engine block) without a hoist. The Cub I have was owned by a person who thought he was going to increase the power of his Cub. So he decided to bore out the carburetor to supposedly get more horsepower (he obviously didn't understand the way carburetors work). All this did was made the engine run lousy at any speed but wide open throttle. Secondly, he put on an alternator to drive the electric water pump mounted on the side of the engine. All that did was sucked up more of the engine's power. Good luck on your Cub as they are a fun tractor to work on. Roger
