I uploaded a picture to the Help Identify Section this site. It's a digger that I've been working on here. Had it sand blasted then primed and painted it. The Tag says Ford Model 19-286.
It was red but I made it blue to match my Ford tractor.
I bought it to scratch up some rocky soil that wont accept a plow and then hand broadcast some rye or something for a wildlife plot.
I'm just wondering what the correct name for it is.
Thanks
Jerry

I figured it was some kind of cultivator. Just thought that a true cultivator had the spring shanks and the guards for weeding rows of corn etc.
Marlowe, I had to replace 2 points. Found them at Fleet Farm. About $3.50 each. They were a little too long so I torched about 1 1/2" off the point.
They had 2 styles there. One had more curve. These fit pretty good. The label on them said they were quackers.
Thank you all
Jerry

Jerry,
Here in NC we would call it a 7 shank tiller. That was the name that all the old farmers used. A field cultivator "Here" has more shanks closer together with a soil leveler behind the shanks to leave the field in ready to go condition. If needed I will be happy to take a picture of what we currently calla field cultivator and post.

That appears to be a Dearborn field cultivator. dad still has one and he used either spikes or shovels depending on what we were doing with it. he would remove two of the shanks for culivating the Tater patch.

We had one when I was a kid,Grandpa only called it the scratcher. Ours was identical to yours. We used it as a field cultivator in south Missouri"s rocky ground.

I think you"ve actually got two put together to give more clearance between shanks. All I"ve ever seen have the usual double Ferguson/Dearborn multi-hole angle-iron tool bar.

Ferguson and Dearborn both called these tillers in sales literature. This is before rotavation machines were common. Call them tillers now and it confuses people, because they"re thinking rototiller. Quack digger is a term that I"ve only heard come from the upper midwest. Here in the Mid-Atlantic it would be called a field cultivator by most people.

A quack digger would typically have very wide duck-foot shovels, not points.
