[Farmall] Re: plow parts for a Super A

[Jim Becker]

Tom,
Looks like a terminology problem.

I'm going to guess that you are trying to use a row-crop cultivator 
(probably the A-144)  and that you are trying to clamp a standard (shank) to 
the tool bar.  The proper name for the collar is "standard clamp" and the 
wedge is a "standard clamp wedge bolt. Assuming you are dealing with a 1-3/8 
inch square tool bar and a 1-1/4 inch round standard, the clamp is 511 985 
R1 (or 511 985 R2) and the wedge bolt is 511 990 R11.

Look at reference numbers 1 and 2 on this page:
http://www.cleancomputes.com/Cub/Cub%20Implement%20Manuals/Cub-144%20Cultivator/Page%2029.jpg
Never mind that is a Cub manual, the part is the same.

Don't know where you are or where you have looked for them, but this place 
will know what you are talking about and can probably fix you up as well.
