I’m looking forward to getting back out there on the Cub. I topped off the gas tank with ethanol free gas, and I have left the shutoff valve open, since I replaced the gasket at the sediment bulb. There’s still no leakage from that. We’re supposed to get a littje rain next Wednesday...

The new sediment bulb gaskets that I ordered from Amazon arrived today and I swapped one of them in. It looks like it’s holding. Other than some pretty rough looking front tires, this little baby seems to be in tip top condition right now. Now that I know that it works pretty good on the two...

Another winter project, that I’m thinking about for it, involves fabricating a brush mover fork / log roller for the front snowplow frame. That would be very handy for working on clearing and firewood processing the hundreds of dead ash trees in my hedgerows and along the woods line. I might...

It did pretty good on that two section drag today. I’m going to keep tweaking the chain attach point and angle and depth settings until I find the “sweet spot”. I got about 1/2 acre worked and planted with it today, in a little over 2 hours including the minor hitch breakdown and I have another...

I got the turnips in with the Cub this afternoon. I picked up the fertilizer, on my drive home from work today. There is rain in the forecast tonight and tomorrow so I thought it would be best to plant today. The drag worked ok, for working in the fertilizer. I think it would work better...

I needed my John Deere on the bushhog today. I’ve got about 20 more acres that needs cutting in the next month. It still had my 2-section drag on the 3-point. I hauled that back to the turnip field, dropped it in the corner, and attached a swinging drawbar between the lower links. Just for...

I’ve learned better than trying to use an old n on a pto implement or a front loader. This one looks like it has the original pto cover on it and that will stay on it as long as I own it, in the highly unlikely event that I end up with it. I do like the blue paint and the new seat on it...

Should hold for 1/2 an acre. If it works good on that, I’ll double nut it and torque them together until I feel some deformation of a thread. That will hold it permanently.

The 3 point adapter is ready, took about 10 minutes of scrounging on my junk shelf’s and 15 minutes of fabrication: Maybe I’ll get the rest of my turnips planted at home this Thursday late afternoon or Friday morning, using the drag on the Cub to work in the fertilizer and cultipacker for...

I see it’s still there and still marked $ 1000 obo. I noted the flexible pipe connection between the carb and the air cleaner was apart, the last time I stopped to look at it, two weeks ago. I didn’t see if it still was, on my quick drive by, today. That tells me that it most likely doesn’t...

Today’s the day I find out if that old 9n is still available. I don’t care much one way or the other, but it’s still there, and the owner will take $ 800 for it (in running condition), I’ll likely go for it. If it’s a non-runner, my mechanic buddy said he’d work on it for me. Of course I’ll...

It was so much fun cultipacking with the Cub yesterday, that I think I’m going to make a cheap 3 point adapter for it, so that I can use it on my two section drag. I’m sure it would struggle with that on harder ground, but it should be fine for working fertilizer into loose ground prior to...

I had an extra 1/2 bag of fertilizer leftover from my spring corn planting, and I got that worked into a 1/4 acre turnip patch yesterday. I broadcast turnips on that this morning, and put the Cub back to work on my 7 ft cuktipacker, pushing in that seed. It sure felt good to work that tractor...

There’s one on sale down somewhere in PA right now. Oddly enough, we just drove home, all the way thru that state and Maryland on Monday. We were visiting the in-laws, who live down near VA beach. We stopped for a couple days at the halfway point at a hotel in Gettysburg, on our way down...
