Hi All,

This is my first post in this forum. I found this old piece of farm equipment on my great-grandfather's old farm. I thought it would be a fun winter project to try and restore it. The only problem is, I don't know what it is.

Can anyone help me identify this?

Thanks in advance!

A 7 shovel to be exact, but looks like it is missing a shank on the left side, middle.

We used to cultivate the garden with one of these, pulled behind the ole' Wheelhorse. They do a great job..!!

we called them scufflers and I used one behind a tractor one year for an acre of sweet corn. My driver couldn't stay cetred between the rows and I remember the workout I got trying to keep itt from taking out plants to one side.lol. I was sure wishing that I had had an old plow horse to work with.

Thanks everyone!!

Now I have more questions than answers.

I would love to get this restored. I assume now the seat and that big wheel are from other implements. How long do you all think the handles were? Where would I find a replacement wheel and shank?

I'd probably paint it JD green/yellow or red and black.

Any ideas?

Thanks again,

El

Thanks again for all the info. I think I'll scour the local antique shops for ideas and parts.

If I ever get it finished, I'll post some pictures.

Thanks!
