Pictures from probably 20 years ago... Grandpa used to leave a lot of attachments on the old WD. When I restored it in the past few years, it has the "Open C" style cultivator front brackets on it. But it used to have these on it at one point, and I'm not sure I've never seen them around before. Are they for a different style of cultivator? With the spade tips?

Somebody on facebook thinks its from an old 2 row cultivator? I could see that, as grandpa had 3 different cultivators he used, but got rid of all of them 10-20 years ago.

I want to say that was an earlier version of the cultivator/mounts. I'm not sure I have any parts books that would confirm that, though... Just going off of memory.

Grandpa had a fleet of WCs and WDs, including a '48 WD, so that could be the case if so.

Kind of wish I still had a set, I'd swap them onto the restored tractor since they look "different".

I don't think it's Allis origin, perhaps some sort of conversion to another brand of something front mounted?  I bought a WD 45 where someone had hacked out about a 6 inches right rear corner of the rear platform.  Also, cut off the end of the drawbar.  Only saw one other tractor that had that done to it & I still don't know why.
