I think it's a horse drawn harrow/cultivator. If it works like the one I saw my grandfather using in his garden, the levers adjust both the depth of the shanks' ground penetration and the height of the wheel in front. The wheel when completly lowered would raise the height of the harrow for transport and when maximaly lowered would allow maximum shank penetration. The fact that the shanks are adjustable too allows for a wide range of cultivation depths for various applications and soil conditions.

Here's a look at a modern version:

And if you need another way to waste time- uhh, do research try this forum on for size:

Here's an example of JD equipment before they had internal combustion engines:

Several pics in this thread of cultivators very similar to yours, but not all metal.

Anyone in my area approaching 80 years old would probably tell you it is a 5 tooth if it has 5 teeth. He may also tell you the word cultivator wasn't necessary since any idiot can see that. That's just how those old folks are.:laughing:

And PossumHound is better at searching than I am.

The result of a misspent middle-age; come to think of it my youth also had a lot of "misspent" in it.:laughing:

Wouldn't the correct answer to the OP's question be "A seven tooth."
