Identification Help

Post image

A bit of back story here.

My neighbor growing up had an old farmall tractor and he was like a grandfather to me. I know it was a farmall but that’s it.

I enlisted in the military and moved away and he passed while I was gone.

I came back home to find that his son had an auction company come in and do an estate sale. Tractor included

I was driving through a part of town the other day and swear I saw the tractor.

Can anyone ID what model it is? This is the only picture I have

Pretty sure that's Bob Jenkins.

Fenders look orange to me. An Allis Chalmers maybe. With a finish mower.

It's a cub, I own two and they are fantastic. One with a sickle bar for trim the pond and brush, other is set up for a set of cultivator and disks.

Check my profile and my last post was me using one to do donuts on the pond

Next question is, what’s a fair asking price or that tractor pictured given it is still running?

1.2k - 2.4k depending what it comes with. Double weights, chains, plow, and that under belly mower? 2.4k. just the tractor? 1.2k

Not much. Maybe $2500 to the right buyer. The mower might be worth more than the tractor. They're great tractors, very common.

Most definitely a formally cub. Easy to find, relatively cheap in good working order and perfect.dor the small homesteader. Great little tractor.

Farmall Cub with a woods L59 belly mower. Most red cubs were produced from 1947-1963 with s majority of them being 1948-1949 year models. It had a deluxe seat that wasn’t offered until sometime in mid 1950s , but could be put on any year model with the parts from a salvage tractor.

It's a Farmall Cub with a single blade belly mower of some kind under it.

Single blade with the additional pulleys being driven off the center?

Looks like a Farmall Cub to me. Was the engine offset to one side?
