What is this?

Terracing/ dike plow. I saw several in Hastings Florida on the tater farms there. I also have a few pictures that an old book on farm machinery had on how to construct one just like that one from scrap materials to build teraces and dikes. It showed how to weld it from found parts. The eye in landslide and moldboard where they meet is the main pull line then the other linkage was to be hooked into it with a sheave ande something else to help offset the pull. THat kept it tracing in the ditch and the coulter wheel helps hold the tail in the ground.

Simply Amazing.... You folks are a wealth of knowledge. As rusted as this is, I doubt that it can be restored... but then again.... who would want to? Thanks for the replies
