Still not clear to me what parts are involved.  Can you email me a 
picture(s) of the damaged parts?  Are your problem parts on this page?

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.
