Got any Amish in the area? Mention to them what you have and some 
prices. Lot's of the ones around here still use "old" equipment that can 
be horse drawn. I am in the process of rebuilding a small horse drawn 
single row cultivator at the moment for the neighbor. It got run over by 
a dozer during the flooding. Mostly heat and beat but I'm also repairing 
the adjusters, adding steel handles and a new front guide wheel.
