Old cultivator clamps, etc......

MJD · May 23, 2012

I was wondering if any of you guys might have some of the old IH cult. clamps like I have on this little work tool bar ? On back of our 1953 Super C. This tool bar is an old IH or McCormick I think, and used in the 40's and 50's.
The nuts on the clamps are mainly 5/8 size square
nuts, regular thread. Hope you might can see some. I see some of the bar and pieces are showing a faint blue coloring. I do think that was original back then. I am trying to get a few
old parts as extras for this setup, and some more square nuts, something my dad and I made years ago...thanks for help ?

Looked thru my IH book, had no luck finding the toolbar and clamps. You should check on the implement forum. My uncles IH 404 came with a cultivator, turns out it was made by Dearborn and I guess the IH dealer put decals on it.

I dont recogise it at all, will check at the local used implement dealer, see if anyhig looks familar.

I'd like to find a couple of them too.

Those bring big money on ebay. I have them for the two A-437 cults i have but not any for sale. The B-435 used them. There are some leftover rear SC cult stuff for sale in Minn on the photo adds and they do show up on ebay just keep watching.

The rear tooling on that set-up is using the front section which would have been on either a B,BN or the A front section those two upright brackets were part of the lifting and then another square bar was used to make two bars for adding tooling to cover space between the rows. I t is an early production model.

This has to be IH because of the two point hitch. IH did not license the two point hitch to anyone (why it never caught on). The add on weeder (Light spring toothed cultivator) is very old and dates from the 1930's or before. It was probably horse drawn originally.

Golly, thanks you guys.....I do have that very picture of the old clamps in an IH Implements
for Super C tractor original catalog. I even called a dealer 90 miles from me with the square
nuts part number, which superceded to another number, and surprisingly still avail. at about $1.20 each. I always have fun looking that stuff
up. And the info about that bar from an A, or B, BN tractor - very interesting !
The weeder-mulcher has 39 teeth, which I did see
mentioned in a catalog too, I found at a car junk yard, over the river bank, so rescued it and
got it to use too...surprisingly all still flex pretty darn good, it is fun to watch working.
I know it is a homemade little bar, but I hope to put new pieces of wood between the old iron
braces, just to look good.
Thanks so much for your input, just don't have
anyone around here of similar interests in the old IH stuff, I think which should be saved, but
does get discouraging ........
I really appreciate hearing from you all .....
