1950 Farmall Cub -- Restoration -- Replacing bolts, fuel lines, and Taking Her for a RIDE

Danny worked on changing a lot of bolts and nuts on the 1950 Cub Farmall tractor. He put it together for the first time and cranked it. He isn't finished but he is getting close. Danny takes the cub for a ride.

I pray Danny you live a long life. You have so much knowledge that needs to be written down and made into a book for future generations. I worry about our future generations.

Danny: I do NOT see other tractor refurbishing channels directing the owners attention to the fine details that You cover so eloquently in your videos. Thank You for sharing and taking the time to explain to the new owner of older equipment the many benefits of getting it right in the first place. You are also most fortunate to have such an understanding and helpful spouse to work along side of you in the restoration process. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.

[@carricowherd3826]

I love how methodical you are when fixing the tractor and other things. And the way you explain why and how. I dislike our "throw away" mindset. My grandparents were fixers. I'm so fortunate to have been raised by them to learn to fix and not throw away. I raised my children to be the same and appreciate the old things. I wish more parents would do the same.

[@shaneharrison4775]

Those lil Cubs were always a terrific little tractor I've always like them those and the baby Alice Charlmers and I'm glad to say the one we had to work on we came up with all sorts of things steering seal replacements and we added oil resistant o rings to the outside the steering shaft to stop water intrusion of the steering gearbox and the vented plug yall cleaned our had been lost and replaced with a brass plug undrilled and I drilled the top of it and put in a zerkfitting for grease that had no retention ball and spring and made a crimp in cap that kept out water and allowed the plug to breathing and out due to temp changes from the thermal cycling of the radiator. Love yalls videos

Morning!! Ya'll should try Draft Horses. Not as fun to work on, but multi purpose. Sustainable too! Your doin' a real nice job on that tractor!🐴🚜

It's so important what you say because that's how these seals are getting ruined in the first place! Somehow I don't think that cub spends much time in the rain but worse things than milky oil could happen.

When you put the new seal in steering box , On ones with shafts like that , i put a fat O ring on the shaft a inch or two before gear box . Then the water drips off the o ring and the seal does not see as much water. But indoor kept stuff does not see as much water

The engine sounds like a sewing machine, so precise, quiet, and rhythmic. Nice detail work on all those bolts and accessories. We are all looking forward to how it works.

[@bobbader4789]

Just love your easy going personality and attention to detail, God Bless

[@WIDESIDE72]

I’ve rebuilt and worked in quite a few old Cubs and other farmalls. Every one has had the hole plugged up. My dad was a welder and taught me that tip cleaners come in handy for the same thing you’re doing as well as cleaning carburetor orifices. Sometime you have to use a little hand drill bit. My opinion is that a plugged vent is the cause of the lower seal going out, causing a big headache. I usually clean the hole and leave a piece of wire in the hole while painting the tractor to keep from painting it closed. I have also come across a lot of tractors with the plugged hole that were running grease instead of oil in the steering housing, due to the lower seal leaking so bad that oil would just run out. Regular grease doesn’t keep the steering gears lined, though. Corn head grease will buy some time and I will give some lubrication.

[@patriciahazeltine9986]

I just love this Farmall Cub, love driving them, they are just really wonderful! I hope to find a Farmall A to buy and refurbish. Those are some of the best ideas on refurbishments I have heard. This little girl is ready for the next parade!

[@mitchmouton3916]

This video came at the perfect time because I'm rebuilding mine right now. Thanks for the info 👍

[@denniscleveland669]

Clovehitch a piece of leather shoelace around that steering shaft to act as a drip stop. Maybe in one of those lower grooves in the shaft.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Not a bad idea.

[@marjoriestanley340]

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Oh yeah I'm picky about bolts and nuts.

[@ronaldcummings6337]

Really enjoying this series. Your cub was a teenager when my Massey was born but the maintenance issues are similar.

[@UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm]

Hey y'all I am so happy to see the explanation of the engineering involved when these were manufactured. These were the small key bits of knowledge that made the tractor run the way it was engineered to do. The prudent farmers and mechanics, haha the farmer was most likely the mechanic, knew to take the extra step to do stuff right the first time. In the military we had the PMCS, which is Preventative Maintenance Checks and Services system. The driver, the unit level maintenance and organizational maintenance each were listed on a chart with the frequency intervals of how often different things needed to happen to keep the equipment running at the peak performance. This is why so many vehicles from the 1940's and 1950's are still in use today and working just fine. bye now

[@btw7082]

Cool 😎

[@markmark7342]

good job danny.... really enjoyed the series!

[@lunarrn]

I would've never known.....a teeny tiny vent hole 🤯

[@countryboycharlie9793]

I’d take a drill bit a clean it out Danny, o’Danny get A DRILL BIT LOL!! That seal came on the tractor I’d can assure 👍❤️

[@denniscleveland669]

Mud daubers and some species of spiders are pretty good at clogging vent holes as well.

[@jakegrubb7630]

It's good idea to use anti-seize on all the threads too 🍻

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I did on anything that gets hot. Everything else that I could I used stainless or galvanized.

[@oldchevysonthefoothills694]

An air impact helps with rusty bolts a lot, the hammering and vibrations help to shock the rust off and break the nuts and bolts loose. I'd say 7 out of 10 times, a rusty bolt broken off by a ratchet or a wrench wouldn't have snapped if an impact was used. Nice old tractor you have there...

[@denniscleveland669]

Somewhere, I’ve seen a battery clamp with a quick lock lever on it. Maybe replacing the bolt with one of those levers from a newer bicycle seat?

[@Bama_J]

Morning y’all

[@markd5625]

That motor sounds great. You did such a great job that you're forgiven for that pocket knife abuse. :p

[@jeffgootjes8418]

Those steering sectors originally had oil in them. Over the years the shafts wear by the seals. As a result of this the oil would leak out. A lot of guys fill the box with corn head grease because it flows well but doesn’t leak out. It’s a solution that doesn’t require replacing the shafts.

[@donnadivineprepping9742]

👍🏽 gr8 vids

[@jeffdhority938]

Yeah Danny that crescent wrench can use for 1,000,001 things but what chaps me is when they’ve used it for a hammer LOL

[@starkenterprises2371]

Turn your mat facing forward. Thanks. Nice job. All maintenance done for now?

[@natevanlandingham1945]

The Cub is a relatively simple machine and doesn't really require many tools or specialized tools. I have heard you mention you ordered manuals. You can get the manuals for the Cub and all the implement manuals on the Farmall cub forum. You have to join and have a few posts but you can download the PDFs and if you want the hard copies and put them in a small binder. And like I said will also give you a place to download things like the planter or cultivator , or belly plow manuals so you know how to set them up or the part numbers.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I have all the original books on all these things.

[@ccpirogue]

“I think he’s headed back to my She Shed....I better go see” 😂

[@beulahacreshomestead1927]

You have such extensive knowledge, have you worked on these before, or did you do a lot of research?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I have all the original manuals and service manuals for this tractor

[@natevanlandingham1945]

Did you make a video filming you changing the oil in the finals, transmission, touch control and that steering box? Looking at some of the farmer fixes and attention to detail it had I would want to make sure I knew for sure there was fresh oil in every sump on that tractor.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I will do videos when it's time to change them.

[@Williams_Workshop]

Working on equipment is really fun. I'm fixing a '96 dakota to drive right now. You think you could use a front end loader on the cub?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I have one on my new tractor.

[@denniscleveland669]

That maybe a wallering wear spot as well from those bolts being a little loose at some point.

[@AriesRocker68]

Love the videos. I have a 1974 Farmall 140 and recently started leaking fuel around the nut and fuel pipe that screws into the sediment bowl assembly. It had a small brass type washer on the end of the fuel pipe there at the sediment bowl but I lost it but have read that they later changed to a current type of brass ferrule but I am not sure which size or if the ferrule has to slide onto the fuel pipe or must be attached to the larger nut or if it matters to seal and stop the fuel leak.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Usually the Ferrell slides over the pipe then squeezes down on it when tightened.

[@___PK__]

Good to know. Is this why my A's final drive gasps when I take the drawbar off?

[@natevanlandingham1945]

If that's the original starter switch/contact it may be better than the new one you have ordered big it wasn't worn out. The guys on the forum say those new reproduction ones are not good and the contacts aren't as good as the old ones.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

The old one was wore pretty bad but I do save all original part's and rebuild them in case I need them in the future.

[@scottwhite4645]

Danny, Did you purchase the tractor knowing it needed a complete restoration, or was it something you wanted to do? I was under the impression it was in great shape when you showed it in the first video?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I bought it to restore. The engine being rebuilt was a plus.

Danny, I love your cub, and your restoration work on it. I love that paint job you done on it. Do you have a before picture of your cub. When you painted your cub. Did you sandblasted back down to the metal? Or did you just slightly sand it, primed it, and painted. I have a 56 cub model J, I am about to start restoring. Where is the best and economical place to get parts for the cub. I live just south of Dallas Texas in Ovilla and there isn't anybody that handles Cubs or any Farmall equipment down here. If you can help me out I appreciate it. Thank you
