[AT] Mounted Cultivator discussion - was RE: JD CCA cultivator info

[jahaze at aol.com]

Grant,

I wish I had more to add to this discussion, but I really don't.  All I can say is it appears that all the tractor mounted cultivators I have ever seen, either in person, or in a photograph all looked the same, regardless of where in the country they were located.  About the only thing that would be different would be the type of shovel they used (depending on the crop?).  I really don't know for sure.

Enjoy, Joe

Well, I am not in the Midwest and have no John Deere antique tractors, so I
m not a candidate for trying to take advantage of Joe's kind offer. BUT,
nd this is a really big BUT, I have a very strong interest in cultivating
rrangements as we use them for growing all of our vegetables! So, perhaps
his is a key to start a discussion of cultivating tools and practices?
    By the way, both the Farmall 240 that I got about a month ago and the
ate (crossbars type) grill Oliver 770 that I just got Wednesday Night have
ront mount belly type cultivators mounted that we will be using a lot. The
70 I finished loading at about 9PM and then did a 2 hour drive back to the
anch, followed by unloading it the the next morning (yesterday.) At the
oment those multiple nights with less than 3.5 hours of sleep are catching
p with me. I think the cultivator on the Oliver 770 is a local Salinas
alley shop built unit, but I think the Farmall 240 cultivator may be a
actory unit. I wonder how I can tell? I'll try to contribute more on this
iscussion soon, I need to get an electrical unit installed now.

Speaking of CCA cultivators, is anyone in the midwest interested in one? I
ad all new shovels put on mine about 15 years ago, used it one time, and it
as been setting in my field ever since.  It might as well be used by
omeone.  I'm in central Michigan, can take some photos of it if you would
ike.
Enjoy, Joe

hank you very much, Dean!  That provides exactly what I needed to know.  I
ew that what was on there wasn't right as the links were too wide. Since
at chain finally broke, I want to replace it with the proper chain.

 Al,
 I've sent you the JD Parts Catalog for the JD CC-A Cultivator via private
email. As far as I can
discern there is only one chain JD JD2050 which apparently JD still sells
lengths of this chain to
order.

 I'd like to know what size chain is supposed to run from the wheels to the
shaft and from the shaft
to the manual lift mechanism on my JD CCA manual lift cultivator. I
inherited the cultivator but the
manual was lost in the house fire years ago.
