Rub pork all over with cumin, garlic, 1 1/2 t. salt and 1/4 t. pepper.
Place pork in a slow cooker; drizzle with orange and lime juices. Cook on high heat until meat is tender and falling apart, about 6 hours.Transfer to a cutting board; shred coarsely.
Spread one side of each sub loaf with mayonnaise and the opposite side with mustard. Build sandwiches with the pulled pork, ham, Swiss cheese and pickles.
