I stopped by my local tractor junkyard and found some different cultivator shanks. They all looked to big for the b. The shaft was much heavier. Did the b use something different?

Try Roger Van Camp , Fort Wayne,IN. I bet he has some. I don't have his number here at home. Tracy Martin

Seems like the diameter of the shank is 1 3/8".

There are square and round shanks. They take different clamps...

Most of the B shanks, except for the rear, were flat steel bars, !/2" X 2" inserted into a bracket that was square where it mounted to the frame. The shanks could be slid up and down and locked in with a lock bolt, to set the depth so they all dug at the same depth.

I think the rear ones were 1 1/8" or 1 1/4" diameter. Bob

chalmersbob is right. The b rectangle shank is smaller than the other Allis shanks I found. I need the rectangle shanks. I also need the clamps and rear sweeps for behind the tires. these are proving hard to find.

Jesse,

Like I said in the PM, I know I got them, I just got to get to the farm and dig them out of the pile. I have more of these 60 cultivators than I even know, I mean I have no idea how many are there....
