Potato Diggers?

I have a  I-H  One Row P T O  Rubber Tires   734 - 536 - 2280

I have one that looks like the picture you have posted.  However, it is not complete.  The hitch was modified to work off a tractor's 2 point hitch.  Also has some other weld jobs on it.  However, I am looking to sell it, so let me know if you are interested.

I have a one row digger in bad shape.
it a Hoover . looks a lot.like your picture.
It was horse drawn, but has been converted ,
it a yard ornament or for display
now but i did walk behind it to find and bunch
up the potato to let them dry 5/10 acre a year
a little info for you
In 1885 Isaac W. Hoover applied for a patent
for his design for a potato digger. The next year,
the In 1916 Hoover of Avery, Ohio, and his
brother-in-law, Albert Prout, formed the Hoover
& Prout Co. to manufacture and promote the
Hoover potato digger.
In 1910, Prout left the business and it was renamed
the Hoover Manufacturing Co. In 1926 Hoover sold
his digger to the John Deere Plow Co., which had been
the digger's sole distributor.
