Name that Implement

Friend has this in the woods behind her house. Haven’t seen it yet. Any ideas what it might be?

It kind of looks like an old dump rake.

I’ll get over there sometime next week for a better look.

Not a dump rake.....wheels are too small and too close together.
Might be a cultivator with a "coupla pieces gone".

Your eyesight is better than mine by far, I only see one wheel.

But that one hub looks pretty stout for any dump rake.

I'm sure my eyesight is not better than yours. However, my imagination may be. I just "assumed" there would be another wheel
The half a U-joint is a bit baffling too.

we will probably need a few more pictures.

I’m thinking old cultivator

I’ll put eyes on it next week, may even be able to pull it out if it’s not too stuck.

Oliver Model 7-A 2 bottom plow made for the Fordson F.

I have seen people try to sell stuff with pictures no better than that!

I have one of the Oliver plows for Fordson. Never new the model number. Mines in perfect working order. Are they worth anything?

Yes 2 btm pull plow. That 1/2 U-joint looks like the carrier for the adjusting crank....James

That’s impressive. I’ll report back with what I find and see if it matches up with the attached photo from the Ford museum. Look at the wording in the description—it sounds like they gave away Fordson tractors. Doesn’t sound profitable.

I was going to say it looked like a tillage implement plow or deeper tillage of some sort. Hard to see with those pictures. Frame looks awful heavy for most light duty implements like rakes and such.

It is amazing how much stuff is hidden is old woods, fence rows etc. My daughter bought a place with about 5 acres of scrubby woods. So far we have found a old 3 point back blade, and a large bush hog. Have not dug them out yet, not even sure if my old Ford 860 can pick you the bush hog. Has a tree growing though the deck. Going to need some work.. Hoping the gear box is good.

When I was a kid hunting with my grandpa, I saw so many abandoned implements along the edges of the fields in the woods of the neighboring farms we used to hunt.

I guess plow. Hope you rescue it.

we will probably need a few more pictures.

Or a few less tree branches.
