hauler
 

I have a 1970 one ton ,4x4, 392, 4 speed. Dana 70 front RA-15 rear. It has hauled lots of stuff, including cub cadets since I bought it in 1975 with only 18,000 miles. This was my wife's grandpa's, but it was 2- wheel drive, 3/4 ton ,345, automatic. Back in 1985 I came across a like new 4 speed still mounted on a low mileage 345. At that time brucer95 (son) and I pulled out the old Borg Warner automatic and made the truck a 4-speed along with a 13" heavy duty clutch . Then about 12 or 15 years ago Bruce told me of a 1970 IH ,one ton 4x4 , for sale (cheap)so I bought it. That old ton only had just over 35,000 miles on it,but the body was really rough beens it had been used at a fertilizer plant since new. We used it as our doner ,using the axles,springs, tranfer case and drive shafts but not the 304 engine. Then a couple of years later we came across a 392 (free), and we rebuilt it and dropped it in, putting the 140,000 mile untouched 345 in retirement. I put a hydralic dump bed in in 1996 and that is real handy. The old truck has been one heck of work horse. I've been asked if I would sell it several times, but no way.

I have another hauler too although it's never hauled a cub cadet. It's 1975 ,4x4,345, automatic that came from the salt free roads of Alabama. 1975 was the last year of the IH pick-up and this one was built 11 days from the last one.This truck is pretty much bone stock except for the front bumper I built. I bought it 1997 with 81,000 miles and only had to rebuild the carb and brakes.

Yesmar those are some beautiful trucks! A one ton IH is on my wish list. Can you post some close up pics of the bumper you built? I'm wanting to make one like it for my F-250.

Thanks dieseldan123, but the 75 is out of state at our cabin. I can get you some pictures later this spring. The main part of the bumper is 2x4x1/4", the headlight guard is 1-1/4" square tubing. If that helps or I can tell you more maybe if you would like until I can get some more pictures.

yesmar,
You win! Those are the best Cub haulers. When I was a kid, my neighbor always had IH pickups. Unfortunately, most of the IH light trucks have rusted away here in the Northeast. Some day I would like to find something like this to replace my F350.

That would be great! I had the inspiration to build a bumper like that after looking at pics of the road train trucks in australia, and thinking how cool the kangaroo gurads were as a kid. Wanting to be different and i take pride in the things i build, verses those that are made of maney compared to me who can buy one out of the box. Only hard part now is to get the steel and make it fit my 99 F-250 styling.

yesmar74- WOW! Those are some pretty pickups. Nice rides guys!

my cub hauler
 

went and picked up a 1811 in my 1998 eddie bauer explorer V8 .it fits !!!:biggrin2:

I always get a kick of seeing cubs in SUV's.:beerchug: I think it's POTW worthy.

Me too! :biggrin2:

ok what dose "POTW" MEAN LOL :bigthink: should of seen the guys face when i pulled up with no trailer ? he said where are you putting it ? i open the back of the explorer & said in there looks good :biggrin2:

Pic of the week!:beerchug:

I just sold mine due to lack of space.

86 D100 from TN but 4 IA winters prior to my ownership was starting to pop through. Hope for one in better conditions in the future, or a Little Red Express. It even hauled that heavy green machine in the 2nd picture.

My cub hauler. All yellow with just enough red.:beerchug:

You ought to be able to fit a couple cubs on that trailer...if you pack them tightly.

I agree, Steve. :biggrin2:

X3!

:biggrin2:

I Got most of the way through this thread looking at all the beautiful and unique cub haulers, and didnt see any IH trucks. then I saw like 4 in a row. So I guess I'm not so special after all haha

1971 1310, 345v8 (soon to be fuel injected) 727 3spd auto (soon to be T-34 4spd manual) Dana 60/3.73 and 34 inch rear tires.
I designed and built the deck and storage boxes, and fully rebuilt the engine. All new Brakes, rims, and wheel bearings. Did some major soundproofing on the interior and put in a high end stereo. Sure gets some looks when going to shows with cubs on the back! I can get three cubs side by side on the deck if I want to.

Tyler younsure you got the number right on the tranny? A t 34 is a 5 speed over drive standard tranny. The 4 speeds are t 18s, t19s and t98s ( might be more too) if you got your hands on a t 34 5 speed over drive you are one lucky guy. Theres lots of info on them on binderplanet.com but as far as your truck goes, its sweert! Lovin the tires and rims

Nice looking cub haulers guys!:beerchug:

What Mike said!

Here are some pictures of my Cub hauler. When I got it, it had a flat bed and the PO still had the original bed so he gave me it also. My buddy and me put the original back on. I wish I had kept the flat bed for a while it looked good on the truck.

My Cub Hauler
 

My 1998 Toyota 4runner and our 16ft trailer serve as my main hauler. The 4Runner may not be the biggest or strongest but like the Cubs it doesnt know when to quit.

I like to see old Ford's hauling cubs, but here is a pic of my newer hauler too.

Very nice cub hauler and cubs! I really like the super. :biggrin2:

I agree!:beerchug:

Nice '70 BSmith! A friend of mine has a '71 in the same colors. While its not the forum it used to be, you should check out the forums at fordification.com .

Home made Hauler
 

This is how I haul tractors around my place between buildings. The Home made Tilt Trailer doubles as a work platform too! Easiest way I've found to drive 2 tractors at the same time. Yes a super cub will fit on here too!

I merged the two hauler threads.:beerchug:

My Cub Hauler
 

This is my new Cub hauler! I did have an ‘06 Ford F-350 Powerstroke but that was getting a little pricey for collecting Cubs. This is my ‘13 Ford F-150 so far getting about 17 mpg average. Truck has about 4k on it which probably 3,900 of it are Cub hunting miles!!!:beerchug:

nice truck martin, 3,900 miles of cub hunting, thats the spirit:biggrin2:
