Farmall A hand lift

I need a little help with 1942 Farmall A cultivator linkage. I have figured out how to mount it for the most part, but I think I am missing a few pieces. I need what looks like some rods or bars that connect the quadrant levers to the front rockshaft. I think I can make them if someone has a couple that they can take a photo of and take measurements. Also, the left side pick up rod (1/2 rod with spring around it) doesn't seem to hang as straight as it should. Is it the wrong part or has it been straightened in the past and should be bent?

Also, does anyone know what cultivator I have? Most of the pictures of this type quadrant set up seem to be only on tractors with the lift all cylinder, which I do not have. I currently have it hooked up with a chain in place of the missing rods to pick both arms up with the left hand lever. This works, but I would like to have it right. Also, the rear lift, which is not currently attached has the lever and quadrant mounted on the right side of the foot platform by your right leg.
 
The early 134 used a lever mounted on top of the tranny like yours but it doesent look quite like the one i have hard to tell from the pics
 
Heres ours (its cold out there so I only grabbed 3 quick shots)...don't have cultivator on right now and they are buried in snow, so can't get any thing for measure off them. need a few more of the lift on the tractor let me know, can get them tomorrow, if I can

"Pull" rods(between rock shaft and hand lever) are simple straight, with ends bent 90 in same direction about 1in long ends with cotter pin hole and about 23 1/2 center to center(of bent ends). the pick up rod should be straight(other then the hook), for some reason your looks short to me. Your arms that connect the swing arm to the "pull" rod are a home fab...they are suppose to be simple straight one hole not a L.

Corey, thanks so much for the pictures and info. This is exactly what I need to make my own set of rods now! Thanks again, and I will keep your contact info if I have any other questions about my cultivator. Yours looks exactly like the one I have on my tractor.
 
If you look close at my second photo, you can see a rod sticking out in front of the left rear tire with a section of chain hanging from it. Does anyone one know what this is for? The other end is hooked to the bottom end of the hand levers. Is it a homemade add on? Seems to be some of that work done to this lift in the past. The chain end is loose and not hooked to anything. Thanks, Mike
