Spontaneous Cub Lover in Pa !
 

Well it's only been a few months and I've been reading/printing all info I can, for which your site gets a lot of credit. Lots of good stuff here. I've always wanted a cool old tractor, wishfully a Farmall Cub or A, but I came across the 147 Hydro and decided that was a good first step into the world of classic tractors. I only have an acre, but mostly I like to tinker with old equipment of any sort. I always say if it has an engine and 2-4 wheels I'm interested. Fully restored a 1963 Vespa scooter and have since started a 1961 Vespa for my girlfriend. The Cubby came from her mom who restores old Farmalls and Ford 8N/9N tractors for fun + profit. Glad to be a part of the site, as I go through my rebuild i will note any key info or tips I pick up along the way. The major task is a wiring harness. I hate to but one since I work at an electronics manufacturer and have any size/amount of wire and connectors laying around. Well that's it for now, the greasy grass covered engine in the basement is calling my name. Thanks again and take care !

Welcome...What part of Pa are you from?? I live in central Pa near I-80.I am about 1/2 way between Williamsport and State College.

:Welcome2: 147hydrocubby! Glad to have you!

:Welcome2: I am in PA too, near the Poconos. Congrats on your new Cub. Farmall Cubs are very cool. I got to drive one. A member here, jfinney was kind enough to let me take his for a spin. Good luck with the new machine, once you get into it you find new stuff that needs attention and then the fun begins.

The Teardown continues !
 

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm actually 30 minutes north of Pittsburgh, near Slippery Rock. Having all the dirty tractor bits in the basemetn will make for a winter of cleaning, rebuilding. Just got the carb rebuilt, next is the evil flywheel, just can't seem to get it off. Just have to be patient so I don't break anything. Should be a lot of fun ! Can't wait for spring to get her going agian ! Take care.

Re-147 tear down
 

Welocome 147 hydro! I also am WELL into rebuilding my 147! I am just over in Warren Ohio. It is very rewarding to jump on the seat and hit the key and have YOUR machine rumble to life after a good goin through.

Welcome to the gang.
