[AT] WantedL Lilliston Rolling Cultivator

[Al Jones]

Herb,

That sounds right.  I knew Bigham had done something like that.

 I don't think you will have trouble finding one.  If it comes from tobacco
country, it will probably have a fertilizer attachment on it and the spider
gangs will have 5 wheels.  Most tend to have 4.

Also, be real careful about the spiders.  If the bearings have ever been
replaced, it's easy to put them together wrong by having the wheels on
backwards.  If the tines make little holes in the ground when you turn them
slowly, they're backwards.  The back side of the tine should contact the
ground.

HTH
Al
