father got this about 1974, used. The paint it had was red.
2 section 7ft.

Suggested it is a Dunham, and I agree. Looks like Dunham
joined with Lehr then became farmhand, now owned by Agco?
But I didn't find this on the Acgo parts books.
So where to get parts for this. One wheel is 1/2 gone, and
I need the nicely shaped end retaining collar seen in second picture.
Cotter pin let go and it is lost. I dragged the area with
magnets with no luck.

Thanks

I imagine you'll have a hard time finding parts. I've never seen one like that (not that I'd claim to have seen everything!) But I have a better suggestion: take it apart and sell the wheels for decorations- they look really cool!

The rotary hoe has become kind of a dinosaur. I bet you could buy a more modern (and usable) specimen pretty cheap at auction and still be money ahead.

Those wheels are very nice, very elaborate. They must have had their own foundry, and did a deluxe fancy job. I looked at a hundred rotary hoe wheel pictures on the internet in trying to ID this one. My hoe's wheels are the best looking.

Lots of companys used that style wheel, Hate to guess how many. A wrecked hoe a couple of months ago sold for $7.50, supprised they even got a bid on it. Never had that style. Plsce down the road has one that looks like that driving past setting in a flower bed on a spot of gravel.
