Thought I'd share some pictures of my other Farmall tractor...
It's a late '49 Farmall Cub. After many years of lookin' for just the right tractor, a friend of mine found this one in Johnston County, NC back last summer. It is an "original" "IH Blue Ribbon Reconditioned" tractor, bearing the dealership decals on the fuel tank from Floyd C. Price & Sons in Selma, NC.
I've been aware of the program for years, but I've never actually seen a tractor that had evidence of being one...
It has most of the original canvas on the seat, but it is missing the battery box front and top. I hope to find good originals for those, rather than reproductions. I has the original muffler, planter drive gear, drawbar, and right angle gear box for the flat belt pulley, but unfortunately it's missing the pulley. Another thing I'll have to find sometime.
I don't have any plans to restore this one anytime soon. I like it just the way it is. Back in the fall we took it to Asheville, NC to the Apple Country Engine Show to participate with the rest of the members of IHCC Chapter 37 East Carolina. The dirty little Cub drew alot of attention among all the other shiny red tractors. Ever so often I'd handcrank it and let it set there and idle...people were amazed how smooth and quiet it was,.
My maternal grandfather bought his first tractor, a Cub brand new in 1951. My mother ran it as a child, as did I. Good memories of cutting and raking hay with that little tractor. I won't bore you with the rest of the story about my attraction to Cub's, you can read the rest of it here if you like...

The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
