Or if it is like the wet we had on our H (HM-221) there were 3 levers, 
that originally raise each section, right, left, rear.  With the 
addition of the hydraulic system those levers then became used only for 
depth control.   However, that A frame that moved back and forth over 
the lever quadrant was sure rough on a foot in a tennis shoe if you had 
it in the wrong place when you let the cultivators down.

If you happen to be at a Red Power Roundup, look for a gentleman named 
Mike Becker (no relation to Jim),   He calls himself the Paper Farmer, 
and is very knowledgeable and helpful about the manuals, in addition to 
having reasonable prices.  Most of the implements for Dad's H are long 
gone, but I wanted to get manuals for them to fix up as a display when I 
am showing the tractor.  At The Columbia RPRU Mr. Becker spent about 45 
minutes to an hour helping me find the manuals.  Most of the time I only 
had a description of the implement, no model number, and with only one 
exception he walked tight over and pulled the manual out of the box.
