[Farmall] Farmall cultivator parts - Help!

[Grant Brians]

I am still working on locating parts (and a diagram on this unit. I will admit that disassembly is not a fun idea for me as I am 6'6" tall and getting under is an issue. The unit is a vegetable cultivator, with a T-bar setup on it. They were common back when in the Salinas Valley here in California. 
     Under the engine, back from the axle mount (adjustable axle of course) there is a wierd looking fitting that the shaft passes through to match the height on the two sides of the cultivator assembly. My problem is that the shaft has come apart and so far I have not figured out exactly how it would be held together. Other parts of these assemblies are rather worn too, but that is for later to worry about. If I had a second one of these tractors with a belly mount cultivator mounted I could easily swap parts and probably more easily figure out exactly how to refurbish or get the needed parts... 
     I know what you mean about the umm, "farmer" repairs on units of this type, but I also have two small handicaps in the need for reliability for my employees to operate them and also that I Cannot drive them as I do not fit on any of the three I have as I am too tall. Maybe this helps?

Grant, give us more info. There isn't much on those cultivators that cant be 
fixed with a welder, blowtorch, and a hand full of large flat washers. As to 
who stocks parts, that’s a good question. While there are tons of those 
cultivators running in the Southeast, most are now used by gardeners, so 
they rarely need parts. If you can't find the part you need by searching 
online, here are 2 IH dealers near me that may can help:
Collie Equipment in Danville, Va
Clapp Brothers in Siler City, NC

I'm certain if you Google them you can get a phone number.
If neither one has what you need, search for dealers in eastern NC, I would 
think that is your best chance of finding the item in stock. Of course next 
day air freight isn't going to be cheap, but if you have to get in the 
field, shipping costs don't really matter.

Some generic items such as wedge bolts, cuffs, and shanks can probably be 
bought aftermarket from Agri-Supply.

Yesterday our Farmall 100 cultivator slipped a part out of position and it
has LOTS of wear. I am online searching this morning for parts breakdowns
andwhere can I buy the parts I need. Can anyone on the list help? We need to
get back to cultivating Spinach, Turnips, other Greens and Root crops. Help,
please.
