I just posted a picture of a potato dogger in the Implement Photo area of this site. It's a nice digger and I used it last fall to dig garlic. Works pretty good but, I'm missing some parts. I think I'll have to make the missing parts but without a manual or a picture I don't know exactly what the missing parts look like. Any ideas? (I have more photos if that would help)

Pete

I just posted a photo of the Iron Age potato digger. It hooks up to the power take-off on the tractor and is driven by that. Yours looks like it was originally a horse-drawn digger and is wheel-driven. The web rods and cast drive sprocket should be replaced on my brothers digger. I have close-up photos of those parts if you want to see them - can e-mail them.

If you have any luck locating parts, let me know. We have an old Iron Age (Farquhar name also on it, but I think it was bought out @ 1950). We need new (or decent used) cams that run the rod links. It's run by tractor power take-off. res

Does your digger attach directly to the drawbar or does it use a tongue cart? Mine has the cart and then you raise and lower it with a manual lever. The lever is where I'm missing some parts.

What do you mean by cams? Are you talking about drive sprockets that apply power to the chains or shaker rollers that make the chains bounce to shake the dirt out.Try this web site to see if any thing looks like what you need

It's the shaker roller. This one was cast and an irregular oval in shape. Will check out the site. Thanks. res

What parts do you think you are missing? if you used it I would think it's all there but I'm not sure of that kind of equipment.
