Allis Styled WC rear cultivators

[Massey Harris Guy]

Im going to pick up my "new" WC this weekend and it has mounted cultivators but the rear gangs are not there. There is other mounted cultivator equipment scattered around the farm and the way these people were they NEVER threw anything away so I would like to know what im looking for. Can someone please send me or post a pic of what the rear mounted ones looked like. Thanks in advance!!

I don't have pix, but from memory there are brackets that bolt to the underside of the rear axle- one on each side. Top side would be where the brackets for the main cultivator would bolt on to. Each side has a long L-shaped arm that turns behind the rear wheels, and two cultivator shanks mount on that, to cover rear wheel tracks. Can't remember how it was connected to the lift mechanism- when I ran the cultivator in the 50s we did not use the rear gangs anymore.

First, there"s a "rockshaft" that attaches to the rear of the tractor. It has lift arms that are right up next to each fender. They are welded to the rockshaft. Rockshaft rests on the rear platform. The lift arms look a lot like the WD lift arms except they are a lot lighter. Each cultivator gang slides onto the end of the rockshaft and is kept on the shaft with a cotter pin. Gang attaches to lift arn with a chain (I think). Rockshaft is attached to mechanical tractor lift which is pedal operated.

That's a WD/WD45 rear bar. The WC is totally different, but right now I am having trouble coming up with the mental picture and I have stepped on them a hundred times to get onto the tractor.
