I have a limited knowledge of tractors and had a problem when I was starting my Cub. I was starting my 49 farmall cub and noticed smoke comming from the hot wire that connects to the starter switch on the starter. After this happened the Cub would not turnover or do anything when I pulled the starter lever. Any comments? Could it be the switch or the starter its self? What does the wire connect to? I didn't have time to really get in there and see yet. Thanks in advance.

In addition to what Boyd said, I know that on the B & C, it is a button switch. If the one on your Cub is similar, if you take out the two screws that hold the switch onto the starter you can take the switch off. On the starter there will be a copper button. It should be tight in the starter, and should be cleaned off until it shines. In the switch there is a copper plate that bumps against the button on the starter, it needs to be clean also. If the button on the starter is loose or looks like it has been heated, the soldered connection to the filed coils in the starter may have melted and is no longer making a good enough connection to engage the starter.

The first thing I would do is to clean all connections. Use a wire brush and make them shine. Make sure the battery has a full charge and then try it. Dirty connections are one of the biggest problems you will encounter. Hope this works. Boyd
