I recently acquired a used, 6-foot, spring tooth harrow made by the Towner Co. It appears a prior owner has made minor modifications. I would like to return it to its original condition, if possible. Specifically, along with an assortment of mismatched fasteners and minor repairs, the 2 gangs of springs (now bolted in a fixed position) appear to have originally been designed to simultaneously pivot. Was literature produced with this implement that explain its proper adjustment? Does someone have pictures of a similar item, in original condition, that could serve as a guide for restoring this?

Could you post a picture or mail one to me? I have a spring tooth harrow that I havent been able to identify and a picture of yours may help and if it would be the same then I could send you pictures of mine. I know mine is NOT a Deere, IHC, Oliver, Moline, Ford, Ferguson, Avery, or Bradley. Didn't know Towner made a spring tooth altho I had a disk and they made disks under other manufactures names. There is a lever on oll except mounted to change the angle of the tooth bars all 3 bars per gang at the same time. on a mounted you may not have the adjusting lever as such but just a plain lever with bolt adjustment for a cheaper set up and as a mounted unit you would not have to change tooth settings to drag from field to field, Anouther exception is like a Deere I have that is controled by a hydrolic cylinder that controls all 3 sections at once from tractor seat

Sounds similar to what I used when first doing field work in the mid-50s. Was a Sears-Roebuck, 2-3 sections wide behind a WC. I think you are missing the adjusting levers- where the sections are bolted solid now, there would be a spring-loaded lever that could be set in teeth on a half-moon track. Fully forward would retract the spring teeth for moving from field to field or down the road. No wheels on it though.
