Below is a link to a webpage I just created. It contains a really old harrow
that my family found on our property when the moved here in the 1970's. I
hope that one of you guys out they can help me I.D. this thing. I would like
to know manufacturer paint scheme and any other info you can get for me. Dad
and I are thinking about restoreing it, I think it may have been horse drawn
with a seat between the two lift handles.

I have one almost exactly like that. I've found no identifying marks on mine. Doubt that it was made locally, though, if we both have identical harrows, unless you are in Washington state. From your website (BTW, nice "H") it looks like you are in Ohio.

I can't be much help, but here are my opinions: It IS properly called a harrow, a spring tooth harrow to be exact. It WAS no doubt originally horse drawn. I seriously doubt it ever had a seat, Paul is correct in that the farmer usually walked behind it. I have never seen one or a picture of one with a seat.

I don't know of any way to identify it from that picture, as most of them looked very similar. I'm assuming you've looked it over carefully for clues, such as a bit of paint somewhere, or numbers stamped into the frame?

Paul, in CH Wendell's book "150 Years of International Harvester", on page 178, there is a picture of a harrow with transport wheels AND a seat. He notes that it was an optional accessory. I don't think it was a popular accessory though.
BTW Dave, the harrow in your picture could be a Deering, but the picture in the book isn't clear enough to make a positive ID. You may never know what it is, because harrows, simple machines that they are, were often made in local welding and blacksmith shops.

Around here it would a very old field culitivator, but that may be local variation.

I would not expect it to have a seat. If horse drawn you walked along behind. On a tractor, you got off & adjusted it....
