TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #2 Posted February 17, 2009 Positively WH, Kelly. I believe it would be a 1961 AC-7, but will probably stand corrected shortly. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,029 #3 Posted February 17, 2009 Thanks TT are they hard to come by? I've never seen one, but I've not seen a lot of things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #4 Posted February 17, 2009 I would say one in that condition (and the fact that it's complete) would be tough to find. I can't say that I've seen many of them over the years, but then again, I haven't really been looking. Perhaps if you tell the seller that they sold for under $40 when they were new, he will cut you a break on the price. :whistle: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,029 #5 Posted February 17, 2009 he's asking me to make a offer, I was thinking $50 I really don't need it, but if the price is right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jusjeepn 59 #6 Posted February 17, 2009 Kelly, I went through my manuals and this looks ALMOST identical to the AC-6 cultivator. Only difference I see is the rear breaks over behind the wheels. In the manual, it shows the wheels in the rear position and the frame does not break over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pond195520032003 27 #7 Posted February 17, 2009 Kelly, TT, I have a manual of an AC-6 and its different that that one! also have a 1964 brochure that shows the AC-7 and they look like the brinly framing it still might be a wheel horse cultivator look in the photo gallery as i believe i posted the 2 that i have and see if they look like it anyway maybe you can get it at a reasonable price :dunno: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teddy da Bear 11 #9 Posted February 17, 2009 Looks like the real deal....only p.o. altered it slightly. Perhaps to suit a specific need in the garden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eriks Red horse herd 97 #10 Posted February 17, 2009 Kelly looking at your picture it apears to be an early AC-6. Notice in your picture that the frame or beams are solid, not like the manual of the AC-6 a later vesion that has the u chanel and u bolts to hold on the cultivator shafts and teeth. Yours uses the U clamps and bolt. The AC-6 was introduced in 1954 and lasted to 1959. one more thing is the beams are bent in the back. I saw on a walk behind Wheel Horse at a farm show down in Ohio, I belive it was a 1955-56 wailk behind had bent cultivators like that. Some thing to think about that it might be for a walk away?

evanloock 221 #12 Posted February 18, 2009 That is not a Wheel Horse cultivator. The early ones used for the RJ and Walk-Away had straight arms and a cast iron wheel that allowed one to change the spacing of the cultivator arms. Additionally, none of the Wheel Horse cultivators had a hitch arm that long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Workin_Horses 14 #13 Posted February 18, 2009 based on the pictures of model 7-1711 it looks like that could be it but it does appear modified. Looks like the wheel have been moved and the hitch arm has been moved forward. Just my thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eriks Red horse herd 97 #14 Posted February 19, 2009 Kelly I've gone through all my resource books and brochures of just about any maker I have. I no there is hundred or more different manufactures of lawn & garden but of the 75 or more I have nothing comes close to the cultivator you have shown. In my opinon it sure comes real close to the AC-6 shown in a early RJ-58 brochure, onthe back. The picture shown has the tongue pushed back and the cast iron adjustment wheel on the tongue. Remember the late Walk away tractors used the slot hitch assembly just as the early RJ's did. If you look at the book "Staight from the horse's mouth" pg. 43 shows the Walk-Away Deluxe with culivator notice the end towards the back is bent like yours the only difference is it carries a soild cross member. Your picture also has the tongue pulld forward and if you look close it has been welded. I'm still gravitateing towards wheel horse that has been modified to meet what the last owners need!

I'm about 1 1/2 miles from 69 and 24 or 69 and 14, so it's right on your way home (sort of). I have a project in mind that this would work well for.

sorekiwi 761 #20 Posted February 20, 2009 Jim, be very careful if Kelly's coming to your house - you'll start thinking of all the other stuff you need, and chances are that Kelly's got a couple of each of them, and before you know it your shop will be full again! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duckthumper 6 #24 Posted July 2, 2021 I found this thread doing research on a AC-7 replica I was doing, but I also have this exact Cultivator. So I no longer believe this is a modified AC-6. Has anyone ever found the maker of these? I would love to make it look like it was originally. Just need info on it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
