MM field cultivator

[Alan K]

Does anyone know if the field cultivators MM sold in the early and late 1960s were MM or were they made by another company. Im guessing the later 60s models might be Olivers but was wondering about the others. Were they made by Glencoe? I know they made some for Case.

 

[b.breberg]

yes,i think they were made by glenco and the case field cult.was also up @the early 70's

Hey Brian, how is the Jet Star coming along?

My dad had a 12 Ft MM field cultivator made in the 60's. I have an 18' Krause that the center 12' section is exactly the same as the MM dad had. His even had the pivot points for mounting the wings so I'm fairly certain that the MM was made by Krause.

I wondered if there were other companies that might have made them. I didnt realize that Krause made field cultivators, disks I rememeber. Do you happen to have a picture of it? I dont have a decent enough picture in literature to tell what they were.

 

[MMDEL]

They were NOT made by Glenco. They were made by Krause. I sold both. And when White discontinued the Krause model I bought them from Krause and put MM decals on them.

does anny body remeber wat the krause and MM model numbers were

 

[Ole Shovel]

Krause made one way disk tillers then field cultivators or chisel plows and disks also. They are still in Hutchison Kansas making more today.

DEL, are these the TF cultivators? I'd like to find a place to buy replacement springs.

 

[MMDEL]

Yes FT200. I think I have some springs in the bin

[MMDEL]

NO. I think the TF was an earlier one. I don't have a book on it. This Krause model came out in real late 50s or early 60s. Model FT200. The Krause Model was 670A and the model numbers progressed up with each larger size.

Disregard this post. I didn't have my brain engaged before I wrote it.

This one is a later 32 ft. White coming up on a auction near here next week.

Yes the TFs (TFA TFBs I think they are) were the previous ones. They are still shown in the 1961-62 MM full line catalogs. The only pictures Ive seen on the MM-Krause were the large ones on the
G707s. Not sure where a person can get teeth-springs for the TF models.

 

[Clint Youse MO]

TFA were actually made by MM I think. They were a rope trip mechanical lift and used the same lift clutch as the plows

John, email me on the TFA springs

 

[Alan K]

I think they were too. Ive seen pictures of the older ones with steel wheels, TFA? and the later ones with rubber tires which I think were the TFBs. I have one MM digger that has "coil" springs on it, rigid, looking for one or two of the springs. It has the same lift as you mentioned-like the plows. Posting a picture. I suppose the ones Oliver sold were Krause also then?

 

[MMDEL]

No, I don,t think so. It was an Oliver or whoever made them for them.

I know the Oliver lighter cultivators were made by Glencoe. We sold Glencoe products and the Oliver one set along side a Glencoe were identical. All the parts would interchange.

I don't think MM ever made a TFB. The older models were TF's. They improved the cultivator by swapping the positions of the axle and the tool bar so you could cover the wheel tracks. These were the TFA's.

 

[Alan K]

I did find a picture of the TFB, looks to me it is the same as the TFA. The TFA is still in a 1957 book, Not sure about 1958 or 59. The TFB I found in a 1960 and the 1961-62 full line catalogs. Who made the T-500 Chisel Tiller? Was that made by Krause also?

 

[Alan K]

Picture didnt go through the first time...

 

[MMDEL]

I. guess I was a little off on the years. Now that I think back, I probably didn't sell my first MM-Kruase until 1965.
