Implement ID part 2

Mark Akerman · Mar 4, 2022

Dear Friends,
I was hoping to get some help on identification. I pulled these out of the woods of our family farm. My FFA students want to restore them. Looking for the maker and all so I can track down the age and colors to repaint and decal them. The spiked implement is said to be for weeding peanuts. My father in law is an old tobacco farmer (97) and said it had been on the farm since he was a boy. Thanks in advance.

Looks like a Cole peanut planter as a guess. Might also be used to plant corn and peas at the same time. That is an old practice during animal agriculture about 1900 to 1940's. Cole used a color similar to gloss Merlot and a green on the ground engaging metal in the Rust-oleum brand or rattle cans. This color may have been discontinued. Cole has been very little help to me on some mule drawn cotton and corn planters, but they are still in business.

It looks like a Cole planter.

After seeing the other implements and not seeing handle mounts, I will further guess that the planter was used on a one row Farmall.
