Farmall Cub, tribute to a friend

This was my friend’s 1949 Farmall Cub that he and his father bought in 1997 to restore. His dad passed away so they never got to restore it. It sat in a barn in Maryland till we bought it and restored it last year, 2024. I waited to start it until my friend came from Maryland to New Jersey. I wanted him to get it running because it was supposed to be a father and son project.

This is the 8N with my wife driving it, before and after the restoration.
