You are surely talking about a wooden tongue for your cultivator, right? They are available from the Amish. Where do you live? You can also make one--I"d suggest using treated wood. It needs to be about 4" x 6" at the cultivator and be about 10" long. Taper it down to about 3" x 3". Don"t forget you"ll need a tongue cap or pole cap. If you"ll send me an e-mail, I can give you more info. Also, if you"re located anywhere near me, I might be interested in some of your implements.
 
Chris, there is absolutely zero chance of me ever getting to New Jersey (again) to pick up any of your horse-drawn equipment, so I'll see what I can do to help. Here goes:
A great source of information is Rural Heritage. They publish 4 times per year: <www.ruralheritage.com>Their website has many, many books which describe various horse-drawn machines.
Here are a few possible sources from a Rural Heritage Issue:
Tongue Source: Shepshe Farm Supply, Maynard/Esther Miller, 2380N 925W, Shipshewana, IN, 46565 voice mail: 260 768 7271, fax: 260 768 3265
There is also an Oregon publication (Small Farmer Journal????)
Possible source (closer to you): BerryBrook Ox Supply, <www.berrybrookoxsupply.com>
Another possible, reasonably close source: Meader Supply Corp., 1 800 446 7737.
< www.meadersupply.com>
If they don't have what you want, they may be able to refer you. The Amish are usually cheapest, but are usually good (best?) quality as they sell items for actual use, not just show.
Good luck, and let me know if I can be of further help.
