Stuart Jacklin
Subject: 1947 Farmall Cub
Willi; "having done such a magnificent job restoring the
tractor, were there any surprises ?"
Stu; "I was surprised at how little it needed. The out of
pocket money was $250"
Willi; "Was this particular model something that you wanted
to do ?"
Stu; "No it just came along."
Willi; "Approximately how long did it take?"
Stu; "I would say about a month, working on it every now and
then."
Willi; "To what extent did you tear it down ?"
Stu; "Everything except the transmission and rear-end."
Willi; "Did you have any problems getting parts?"
Stu; "No"
Willi; "How does this tractor compete with, say another of
equal size?"
Stu; "These were manufactured for small market gardens, they
could go between the rows without damaging the vegetables."
Willi; "Thank you Stuart for taking the time to inform us on
how you were able to restore the impossible." Stuart likes a
challenge and it is incredible what he is able to accomplish
in his small workshop.
