1940 International Field cultivator. I have my Dad's 8' IH field cultivator and a second one I rescued from the scraper. I restored my Dad's,painted it,put new or better springs on the tensioners and new clips..it works great ,but I don't want to use it since it is painted up and clean..so I hooked on to the other old cultivator. I just had a small garden plot to do for my grandson who wants to grow and sell squash. After playing around I can get it to trip and lift only if I get off the tractor and give the lift mechanism a smack with a stone or hammer..I think there is a spring inside the notched wheel,that is supposed to pull the lift rocker arm into the notches so it will lift..has anybody got ,or remember those lifts on the old cultivators and plows? My Dad called it a "Stiff toothed cultivator,it had wide shovels on it and it would rip out weeds and grass very effectively. I used my cultivator on a twelve acre field that we were putting white navy beans in,the field had got weedy so I ripped it with the old IH and it did a great job..that was 20 years ago..old technology that worked but too small...you could get these cultivators in 6',8' and 10' models. Can you imagine working 80 acres with a six foot cultivator? Any of you can remember that spring set up give me a shout!

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
