SK-20 / 13-2 Cultivator Parts

Most of the points are worn down to where they're only about 5 inches long. Some only have one hole left to mount them to the springs. I found some points today at TSC that I believe will work. $4.90 each. Anyone have any experience with these?

Also, is it still possible to get new springs or stems and shanks? A few of the inner springs are worn down past the holes for the plow bolts (probably due to points that were way to short) I only have 7 stems (Counting the center one), and I believe there were supposed to be 11 when new.

At one point someone welded the sleeve /seal / hub assembly to the guide disc and filled in the grease fitting, too. (gee, why didn't ol' Harry think of that when he designed it? So much simpler!) Are these parts available anywhere?

I'm kinda new at all this - what is the purpose of the sweeps vs. the points?

SWMBO hasn't given me the green light to spend much money on this yet, and it works okay as it is for what I'm using it for. I'm hoping to be able to restore it a little at a time. I also hate getting laughed at when I walk into an implement dealer and ask for some old, obsolete part that *everyone* knows is no longer available.

Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance for any help!

If you want functional, good quality points, stems, springs, etc. at reasonable pricing, Fred Cain Equipment Co. manufactures a cultivator that is almost identical looking to the SK O 20.

The parts fit onto your cultivator w/o any problems.

The Springs are a single spring instead of the original double spring, but are made from thicker stock.

You should be able to google this Company and ask them for the dealer nearest to you. If you need more info on this just post back. I can give you the name and # of the dealer for WI and MN.

I have an SK-O-20. Tim

I think I saw something once about a planter that could be mounted on this unit. Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks,
Joe
