Dee, Bruce, John, Bill, Dean,
Thanks for your responses on the cultivator questions.   Looks like we are 
gaining ground.

I will start looking again for the pictures (and previous owner info ) I took 
when I bought the tractor....put in a safe place anticipating the move from 
Santa Maria to Ferndale...I am sure others know the end to this story...

Those of you that offered copies, I will contact off list with further info 
to make sure we are on the right track.   I really do appreciate your help 
here.

Until I find the pictures...as a point of reference-the truss rods go to the 
extreme outside of the main bar, and there is some resemblance to the 880 
cultivator shown on p. 176 of the MacMillan Vol. 1 book on John Deere Tractors and 
Equipment.   The front cultivator was actuated by a cylinder in a cradle on 
the left side of the engine.   

Regarding the rear cultivator John, I am so pleased that there might be some 
data on it.   I will take a picture and send it your way.   I am interested in 
some LA parts also.    Very solid equipment, even looks like it could bolt to 
my 35 "B" axles without much modification, parallelograms with a cylinder in 
each of the two parallelograms.   I hope this is what your book is showing.

Thanks again,
John Maxwell
