In a nutshell: The cultivators are effective on row crops, but pretty slow for today's field sizes. If you are playing with 10 acres or less they will do fine. Two levers with adjustment notches bolt to the front of the rear axle housing (we take off the drawbar first, i think most do because it is not possible to use the tractor for utility purposes with the cultivators on it ) Two pipes with metal brackets for the cylinders attach to the lever handles, one on each side. S shaped steel bars with a cross pin in one end go in the holes in the bottom of the hydraulic pump, to guide the cylinders. On the front cultivators there is a 4"X4" angle iron that crosses in front of the bolster just below the grill it is attached to a pair of plates bolted to the front bolster casting, one on each side. The pipes mentioned push on the top of the cultivators on each side to raise them. The rear unit covers the wheel tracks, and tills the middle of the row where the front tires run. There is also an accessory tined rake like smoother that is used on the back to break up ridges, but if it is not there, no problem. it takes two people about an hour and a half to do it when they know how, it will take three or more if it is the first time. Be careful driving into the setup not to puncture a sidewall on the front tires on the sweeps Shields for preventing the sweeps from covering seedlings are valuable. The cylinders are connected to the front hydraulic ports on either side. Good luck, They work but seem like a Rube Goldberg affair. JimN

I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction,
