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

[Grant Brians]

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

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

Enjoy, Joe

Thank you very much, Dean!  That provides exactly what I needed to know.  I
new that what was on there wasn't right as the links were too wide. Since
hat 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.
