Stihl Serial Number Lookup
I have purchased a Cub recently from a friend of a friend. He says that this tractor is a 1952 model. The serial number is 42438. What got me questioning the year was the white grill that is on mine instead of the wire mesh grill that I have been seeing on the front of pictures that I have found on the internet for 1952 Cubs. I am new to Cubs but have wanted one for 20 years. This tractor is in really good shape and is all original with the what I believe is the very first coat of paint. Decals are good also.
