From the tobacco fields of Motueka.  Purchased in 1999 and

restoration completed in 2000. This is a very early model of

the Cub and was produced before hydraulics became a standard item.

All implements are therefore lifted by hand.  A unique range of

implements were built especially for the Cub. Single furrow plough,

Sickle Bar mower, Grader blade, fertiliser hoppers.

Production of Cubs continued from 1947 through until the 1970’s

with a few variations in the later years.

The driving position is offset to the left which IH called ‘Cultivision. 

This allowed the driver to have a better view of the ground that was being worked.
