I have to laugh, as soon as one person says a tractor is great, a flock of vultures descend to take them apart. I have been on Cubs, a, b, 140, 240, H, M, f-12/14, f-20, f-30, etc. and I all I can say is this, pick the right tool for the right job.
Have you ever had to weed 150 ft rows of carrots, beets, onions, lettuce? Well all I can say is that with our ole cub low boy, I sure could save the time and not get a tanning for taking out the rows. Did I mention I hate using a hand hoe? Or weeding by hand? There is a lot to say about the fuel efficiency of the cub, it is easy on the wallet. Now if you were going to plow 65 acres, no. You wouldn't clip coupons out of the Sunday paper with an axe would you? Just like you wouldn't chop wood with a pair of scissors. If you spend the time, spend the money for quality parts, and do it right, once you rebuild a cub, you won't need to take the hood of until the next rebuild. Our 1958 cub has been rebuilt twice, 1977 and 1990, and it is still going strong. I am 46, and I have been driving it since I was 7 when we put some wooden blocks on the pedals so that I could reach them with my short legs. It will be the one of the last tractors I will let go when I am 90 (we have over 40 tractors now).

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
