Current Farmall Cub Tractor items on Ebay

The Farmall tractors that had the seat offset from the engine were the Farmall Cub, A, B, 100, 130, and 140 models. This offset design (called Culti-Vision) allowed the driver to have a geat view of the ground, and specifically the teeth of the cultivator as they cultivated each row.

The original Farmall was introduced in 1924. In the 1920's, the name Farmall became a brand name of International Harvester. The original tractors had front wheels spaced very close together and also had a high ground clearance. The combination of the narrowly spaced front wheels and a high ground clearance meant that Farmall tractors could turn sharply and more accurately. Tractors with this combination of features are usually referred to as 'row crop tractors'. And in addition, the Farmall tractor could perform many of the duties that up until that point had been done by a team of horses.

Today, Farmall Cub tractors, as well as their other models are a very popular hobby and all models of Farmall tractors are collector items today.
