No. But now I want one!

Frankly over the years it was very handy. We used it for a parking brake, for leveling gravel and topsoil and it made a good counterweight for lifting heavier objects. I just wondered if it was something like an add-on from the Ford dealer.

You may already know this but all I can tell you is Dearborn was Ford's implement business.
I have seen harrows but nothing like that style with the blade on the back.

That looks like it would be awesome for levelling lawns before you seed them. wanna sell it and deliver to Canada? LOL

Found this. Shows some old brochure covers.

Omigosh what a piece of literature! Modern 1940’s and 50’s equipment! You know I never farmed but all that stuff I think was so tough that I think you could have still been using it 70 years later. And I am selling my stuff right now. Just don’t know what to ask for it.

That appears to be an old Dearborn 13-2 cultivator that someone has modified. They did not come from the factory with that drag piece on them.

My cousin got it in about 1955, and I believe he did some landscaping work with it. The comb part in the back is the interesting part I think

That's a nice looking tractor too Rockstar21. You say you are selling everything? I'd hate to get rid of that stuff.

Are you in the States?
