Well....I went a head and did it!

Posted by anvilheadtexas on July 02, 2013 at 21:15:53 from (99.117.216.44):

After cutting my teeth on a restoration of a 1949 8N a while back, yesterday I pulled the trigger on what appears to be a 1950 Farmall Cub. Although this is not my first red tractor (I own an M) I have not spent a lot of time (lurking or posting) on the Farmall section of YT. You all may see me here in the next several months as the restoration of 251341R2 (12/16/T)gets underway. And there will be several questions as she comes to me with a gentle push onto the trailer. The 6 volt battery appears to be toast and the gas tank leaking. Other immediate concerns I noted was the rear fenders and water filled rear tires. The rubber looks good, but I am betting the rims are toast. She does turn over so she is not stuck, but I nervously await the official kickoff to see what I really have. And it will have to wait, step #1 is to hold the first garage sale in years to clear out "the garage sale pile" that by now has morphed into a heap. The good news I will recoup some of the $800 bucks it took to own my Farmall Cub and the pile of discs, blade and belly mower that came with her. I figure the project is getting underway in the best possible way, my red headed hippie chic friend came along to help me pick it up!

So, while I anxiously await the garage sale and the beginning of the project....okay, maybe it already started, I tool the carb off and will rebuild/clean before asap, I welcome all of your comments, suggestions and heads up on references that will help me pull off a great restoration.
