Farmall Cub shiny again

I bought this 1948 Farmall Cub last fall. During the winter, I took it apart and discovered that I would have to invest quite a bit of time and money to get it going. I ordered most of the parts from Steiner but I was lucky to find the most expensive part, the unit that held the radiator and steering in my province, NewBrunswick, Canada. It had been welded but it leaked too much. I got several attachments with the tractor, including the disc, cultivator and plough. Now I have to learn how to install them, but the internet offers all sorts of tutorials, so I’m not too worried about that. This tractor and I are the same age; I’m proud to have given it a new life, an option that I don’t have, unfortunately. It’s a keeper and I will leave it to my son.
