AC-67 Cultivator Side Plates Sketch Needed

[oliver2-44 9,689]

I have a AC-67 cultivator but am missing the  2 front side mounting plates.  These are listed as item 16 in the attached DNA.  They look simple to make, so I would appreciate if someone would measure and post a sketch of there side plates. I plan to put this on a Suburban, but the DNA seems to be the same for 60-62 year model tractors.

Don't know for sure, but probably you could use the Mid Mount Attach-A-Matic like this one.

I would say fer sure you can use that mid attach bracket but wonder why they don't show it in the IPL the way it really looks? Where the holes are Jim they are notched to the front/bottom with a pivot lever that swings back and is pinned. The pivot lever and cross rod are not shown at all in your manual. Holds the attachment in place.

I probably have more than a couple laying around if I can find them. They are quite common. In fact Richard I think that parts tractor you gave me may have had a set on it??? CRS Lemme do some digging this weekend Ollie. Worst comes to worst I can send you a set and see if they work.

Ther should be a file here on the mid attach as it was offered as an accessory and a must have for 63 and up with a deck or mid blade, mid cultivator etc. Pre 63 for 'burbs or 702/1s might have been different?

@Lane Rangermight be able to shed some more light on this.

Thanks @WHX21 I appreciate you looking.

No problem Ollie, just about every sixties tractor I bring home has that mid mount bracket on it and that usually the first thing I take off knowing these girls won't see that kind of duty again. If they do I can always clean up a set and put them back on. The more I study your AC-67 the more I think those brackets were an early version of what Richard's pic shows. You just couldn't quick attach to them. You had to bolt or unbolt the bracket to install or remove a mid attach. In 62 or 63 WH wised up and said lets make it tooless? Just guessing here

 Get some pics and dims for ya. 

 

Do you have both the mid and rear cultivator?

I had two of the early plates made for my 

Two piece set as I had no idea what year mine was made but I knew these plates would work.  Not sure about uses of the later style attach-a-magic  for the center cultivator.  Biggest problem I ever had was making the lift link bar!    These are good for show but if you want to use one that is for a working garden. The Brinly type pull behind is the wa to go in my opinion.  I use nine times with a mix of Danish and shovel type tunes.  Works great!

The Suburbans didn't have a mid mount and if I remember correctly it was a couple years after that until the tractors came with them. I believe the mount came with the purchase of the mower deck. Like Jim said, the early versions were bolt on and not toolless. I see no reason why they couldn't be used on a Suburban. You may have to drill holes. The biggest issue would be a way to lift it since the Suburban lift arm doesn't use a rock shaft.

Yes  @WHX21 I have both the front and rear cultivator. it will definitely just be used for show.
