Farmall Cub
The Farmall Cub is a small utility tractor that's perfect for light farm work. It has a manual steering system and a simple gear transmission with 3 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. The tractor is powered by a gasoline engine made by International Harvester. This engine has 4 cylinders and is cooled by liquid, which helps keep it running smoothly. The Cub is compact, measuring 98.4 inches long, 48.25 inches wide, and 62.75 inches tall. It's lightweight too, weighing only 1,477 pounds. This makes it easy to move around tight spaces on the farm. The tractor has agricultural tires on both the front and back, which are good for gripping the soil.

One special feature of the Farmall Cub is its optional IH Fast Hitch system, which makes it quick to attach and detach implements. The tractor has an open operator station, so you can easily hop on and off while working. It's important to note that this model has a manual starter, not an electric one.
