Somebody can surely use this to restore and show with a WC or use for parts. These cultivators can not be that easy to find.

I want 'em, need 'em, can use 'em... and I THINK I have a way of getting 'em out of your hair. I've got a buddy not far from you who has some space in Bethlehem, and there's a crane there that I need to pick up sometime this summer... and he's affiliated with the Bangor engine group... d'ya know anyone in that bunch? They owe me a favor... so I might be able to get 'em to snag and drag the cultivator down to Beth... vive six thuree, 340 thirty fourteen.

Just sent a message to my buddy, he's got contacts in the Blue Mountain group over in Jacktown... if they can make something happen, I'll give it a good home... :-)

I wonder how many sets of cultivators go to china each and everyday? I'll bet the number is stagering. Problem is for alot of us , with the price of fuel you can't just take off for parts unknown anymore. I just went after a set for a CA Friday. Cost me 150.00 in gas and a days drive. They were real bad rusty and probably not worth 50 bucks in scrap. other problem I see with cultivators is most have been left in the weeds on the dirt for 50+ yrs and sadly aren't much good for anything or are missing many of the parts needed to make it all happen. Never bought or seen a CA that didn't have at least a few of the brackets left on them from when they were new. Hard, if not impossible. to find everything necessary to put a working set on a tractor. In fact I've never seen a working set on any CA yet that was the most popular job they did in their day.

I have a complete set that came with the CA. Not for sale, but I have seen them on the tractor many times.

They haven't been on the tractor in 30 years, but all the parts are in the old barn. Larry put up a picture. Looks the same except mine is a narrow front.

If I only had a way to get them here to Oklahoma, I could put them on my RC.
If only the VA would approve the rest of my disability, I would be able to have them shipped. Those would be a good addition to my restoration.

dave, i'll put your name on them....if you work it out, that's fine with me. i'm a member of the jacktown group but i don't know a huge amount of folks there....i just show up, pull, and that's about it...don't go meetings or anything....
todd- yes, i'm about 3/4 of a mile off of route 31, about a mile before it ends at route 46...
yes, that is a snowbucket in the background. it for the loader on one of my ca's.

Great! I just talked to Mike- he says he can make it happen, and would like to get in contact with you to figure out when a good time would be to meet up... he'll come out and take 'em over to his storage space at your mutual convenience...
Check your private messages- I'll send 'ya his phone number!
Thanks!!!

What I've found is pretty common to be lying on the dirt in the weeds for 40+yrs all rusted beyound recognition with key parts missing. I have never seen what you have pictured. I do have a couple sets in pretty nice overall condition though I hope to have on a tractor some day.

DANG, I would love to find a set of those one day for the unstyled WC. I believe the attachments are way harder to find than the tractors themself. Thank you Dave for saving a piece of Allis-Chalmers history.
