How to Tell Farmall Cub Years

International Harverster's Farmall Cub was a little tractor with a big following during its production years of 1947-1964. Today more Cubs are found in parades and tractor shows than in fields and farmyards, but during its heyday more than 20,000 Farmall Cubs were the workhorses of small farms across the United States. The key to the year that a Farmall Cub was manufactured is the serial number on each tractor.
