The difference would have been in the style of the teeth,, on the spring tooth thetooth is the same width all the way from top to bottom. On the quack tooth at about 2/3 the way to the bottom the flat steel of the tooth is changed to a rolled up section that is perhaps 1/3 the width of the rest of the tooth but still has the same strength, then at the very bottom it is flattened out againat about 1/2 the width of the top part and instead of having a point like the standard spring tooth has it is square cut. If I had the capability to scan and post a picture it would help explain things. The quack tooth is designed for laying the quack grass with the root up on top of the surface of the ground so the roots would dry out and therefore die. The other teeth are more designed just for loosening the ground. The 1956 Wards farm catalog that I am looking at has both pictured. And there used to be a bulitin put out by the USDA that explaines it, I may have someware in all my stuff one of them.
