What-are-these?

[ebinmaine 67,317]

What exactly are these parts and where do they go?

 

 

1. Appears to be a rear hitch mounted rock shaft?

For what?

 

2. Transmission cable tunnel?

For what tractor?

 

The rest?

You will need # 1.2,3 and 6 to operate a tiller.  # 2 fits the maroon stripe tractors for the rear cable lift. Never using my tiller not sure about 4 and 5.  7 might be for a cultivator ?

Very cool. Thanks Jim.

So if all that stuff is used for a tiller would it also be used for other rear lift implements?

 

What years are the maroon stripe tractors?

 

 

[JCM 9,130]

I consider 1985 through 1989 to be maroon stripe. I think those parts are used for a rear slot hitch but not 100% sure.

Number 4 is the long clevis used on the hydros to mount the tiller.   The 8 speeds use a shorter one

5 might be a PO made battery clamp.

[ebinmaine 67,317]

Any thoughts from anybody where 7 would go? Looks like some kind of a row maker for potato hiller?

#5 might be the attachment point for the lift assist spring on a tiller.  Roll it over, is it like a piece of angle iron?

[Skwerl58 702]

Number 7 appears to be a cultivator cutter or tooth??? Dad had  some implements for his old 77? Sears ST16 and the cultivator had cutters like that on it.  That was a fine old tractor and he sold it to a family member about 5 years ago with all equipment and they love it.  Those other parts do appear to be parts for the lift for the clevis hitch. I have one on my 87 414-8 but can't say for certain it is for it. They are good parts to have around.

I don't have it in my hands yet Lynn. Maybe today or tomorrow.

Certainly does appear to be angled some.

There are many different types of shovels for cultivators. #7 is one variation.

Its not a large tractor row maker, those are larger shovels. However for a home garden you could probable use it to make rows, just not as high/deep as a large Hiller Shovel. 

Once a crop is planted and is growing its used to "cultivate" ie run down the row between the plants to de-weed and soften the soil to help absorb water. Think of it like a chopping hoe.

Cables #6 go through tube #2 to skirt around a hydro trans on the 300, 400, 500 (and others?) between the mid-  and rear (#1) rock shafts.

Pins on red arrow ends of cables go through the red arrow hole in rock shaft #1.

Blue arrow ends of long (#4) and short (#3) clevises hold blue arrow ends of the cables. Long clevis (as noted above) is needed for hydros, short for 8-speeds (which use a shorter, straight version of tube #2).

Not shown is the clamp, held down by one of the transmission-top bolts, that holds the tube in place.

 

I agree that #7 are cultivator points. I've seen #5 somewhere but can't recall where!

Eaton?

Yep. At the forward end the tube nestles into a hole in the transaxle casting and lines up with a hole in the F plate.

On a lot of tractors up to the mid-80's the tube was factory installed, Then it seems they stopped on the lower horsepower and 300 models.

@JCM

Any idea if that should be on a 417A?

Easy to check. It'll be clamped to the seat bracket where it sits on the transaxle. It uses one of the two bolts that secure the seat/tank/fender bracket to the transaxle.

My '95 520-H chassis didn't come with one but I was able to get one off the '89 518-H parts tractor, with clamp, and drop it in with wiggling and gentle tapping.

I think all my 3,4 and 500 series tractors have that tube.

Remind me to verify it's existence on the 417A
