Those old fords are good tractors, parts are probably easier to find than cub parts.
My uncle has found a few connections while restoring my grandpas, if you run into a hard part to find let me know, my uncle can find it, he is part blood hound I think.
I know he found original brake linings and the rivets to fix the brakes, and the always bent parts, emblems and gauges etc.
I remember him saying sheetmetal is impossible.
