Nick Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 I picked this cultivator up yesterday for $25.00. Needs a little TLC and a sandblasting. Noticed it's the kind you must add weight too. Weren't these type meant for the brinly style hitches?
D-17_Dave Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Does look like a brinley style hitch. I'll bet it won't take much to get it to work.
Mack Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Looks like one for the walk behind tractors minus the lever. [img]http://www.simpletractors.com/images/walkers/cultivator.jpg[/img]
Chris727 Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 I've got one of those too. Its the earlier kind of walker cultivator. The weight holder was probably added on. It will work with a brinly sleeve hitch or an AC sleeve hitch.
Nick Posted April 21, 2005 Author Posted April 21, 2005 Here are some more pictures. It does look like the weight holder was added on. Chris, can I see some photos of yours? How would I go about hooking this up to an AC sleeve hitch? Got to order some wheels from surplus center and get my workshop finished so I can sandblast it.
Chris727 Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Nick, my cultivator has air-king 10-2 wheels. Probably the size you should try and get. Sure would look nice sandblasted and painted.
Nick Posted April 28, 2005 Author Posted April 28, 2005 Chris, Yours HAS to be the same as mine. I want to thank you for all the info you provided. It sure helped. I did find some wheels at Tractor Supply and will get them from there. Oh, and if anyone needs the info either now or later on for replacing these tires they are 10-2 wheels with a 5/8" Bore. They usually can be had for under $10.00 a piece.
Chris727 Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 It was no problem Nick, just glad I could help. Hope to see yours all fixed up soon. I think new tools for it should also be easy to find if you need them. Mine has sweeps on the ends and I was thinking of converting it to all sweeps instead of shovels.
AGCO918 Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 I had one of those a few yrs ago and riped the garden right up.I didnt use weights on my B-10 that i had.
Rob-B Posted December 27, 2005 Posted December 27, 2005 Morning Nick, The piece I believe your calling a weight bracket that was added is actully a railroad slide plate. Which is used in a switch area. It holds the rails in place where the rails come together to closly to use regular tie plates. Rob
