Cub "O" Serial # Verification
 

Painted looks just like 3 digits 568. Removed paint and I think I'm seeing a 5568. I rubbed some chalk over it to try and bring the numbers out. Looking for some input.

Hole in the frame for a creeper vent. Pretty sure it isn't a 3 digit. 4 digit I can believe. :bigthink:

It looks like 568 to me. It must have had a creeper at one time, or they changed out the frame as it probably cracked and was replaced.

Creeper hole is cut not factory.

Did have creeper. Took it out.

still though it prolly is 568 as the other "5" is not the same type used on the other "5"

Looks like it has the thin front axle.

Agreed, looks like 568 to me. My four digit is close to 10k in serial and has no hole on top either. Very cool to see that axle. What's on bottom right of steer tower? Hour meter? It's looking like you got a very early one, WOW, awesome. Love seeing the differences in this model as the serial progression happens.

Yes thin front axle, collar spindles, heavy hood, thin spaced rims and no hole in dash tower where your tail light wire runs through.

Just a big sloppy hole which is on both sides that someone cut to adjust steering column.
