When I was a young boy, my dad had a 4010 and later a 4020, both of which had front rockshafts. I naturally thought that this was very common place and that "everyone" who owned a narrow front new generation tractor had one for his tractor. In my older age, I'm finding this to not be the case and in fact, am finding that very few people have even heard of a front rockshaft let alone have seen one or know where there is one. Just to clarify, this is NOT a rockbox. This is NOT a front 3-point. This is a shaft that mounts on top of the side rails right behind and beneath the fan and is designed to be able to lift/lower a front mount cultivator either side by side independently (if unlocked) or the whole cultivator at once (if locked). Additionally, the set up required at least one short arm (preferably two) to connect the rockshaft to the cultivator. Also, a cast iron bracket that mounted farther back on the top of the side rail was required to hold the rear of the hydraulic cylinder in place. These cast iron brackets were specific to a side (one for the right and a different one for the left). Does anyone know of someone who has these parts that he wouldn't mind parting with? I really need the cast iron bracket(s) and the short arm(s), but certainly would entertain aquiring the complete set up.
