Well it's not a Yanmar but it is red..or was, or had a reddish undertone under the years of "patina". It's a FarmAll cub! I guess I need to move on over to the Farmall/ International forum and post a similar thread but I thought I'd let some of y'all who know me better know first.
Nothing else is leaving I'm keeping the other Yanmars. I have kind of wanted a cub and a really old tractor for years. But what makes this tractor special is that it's my grandad's tractor!! I went and visited my second cousin who got it 20+ years ago when my grandad went into a nursing home. He used it to garden. So anyway I went to let him know if he ever thought of getting rid of it to let me know first because I would be interested in it. He told me he still had it and said let's go up to the shed and look at it. (I also kind of avoided this trip for years fearing he might of got rid of it and I didn't want to hear that). Well he tells me it was a cub , I actually was thinking it was an A. And said it's a small tractor and if I wanted something to pull a bush hog this was not it. I said no I just want to have it cause it was my grandad's and I want to ride my son on it, ride around and maybe cultivate the garden for fun. He said well this is the perfect tractor. He said it will need a regulator he thinks, and the wireing redone as the cloth is rotting off the wires. He said He has everything for it, all the tool bars, sweeps, a one disk plow, a pull harrow I think he said, planter, planter boxes and cultipacker wheel, a sickle bar mower. He asked if I wanted to restore it or what, and I said , no I want to get it running well and leave it just like it sits, just how I grew up remembering it and how my grandad used it. He said that I could have it!! And that he hadn't ever gotten rid of it over the years cause it was my grandad's. I couldn't believe it, and said sure I would love to have it and thank you so much!!!
I will need to pick it up sometime, but I am not in a hurry as it's busy time of the year but I can't wait, I may end up with it sooner than I think. I have wanted this tractor for years!
