I found a two row cultivator that has a tag that says it is product of Pittsburgh Forging company ( farm implement division ) It is in good shape but the replaceable shanks need replaced. They have two plow bolts that hold each shank to the shank holder. I can't find anything on the internet when I do a search for parts for this brand. I was wondering if these shanks were a standard size that would have been used on all brands of the day.
This unit does have a serial number and I am guessing it is not all that old, maybe from the 1970's. The shank ends are rounded and I think they are supposed to have a V shape to them. I was even thinking of trying to grind them back to a V. I put it on the tractor and it sort of works. I am not sure shank is the right word because they are more like flat curved plates with two mounting bolts and have a V shape on the ends. Any help in finding new shanks would be appreciated. Thanks!
