Seeded down a waterway with it, had some struggles, (grass seed was too big for the small box) but yes it's handy. I bought it partly for the nostalgia and to use on small areas that need reseeded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tj01 Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Been a couple of days since I have been on here I have been very busy. I found the set of cultivators at a local used equipment dealer here in my small town. Hopefully now that the rears are done the fronts won’t take too long 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tj01 Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 Well it has been very busy around my place so little has been done to the CA. Got the front bars and angle iron cleaned and painted. Bolted what I had painted on yesterday and today. Soon there should be a full set of cultivators on the tractor 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tj01 Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Well it finally happen. Full set of cultivators on the Ca. All I got left is to do some touch up paint where I bolted them on and it will be done. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tj01 Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 Here they are complete. At first I was going to just lift them with my hands and not hook up the hydraulics. After about 3 times of doing that plans changed and the hydraulics got hooked up. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tippmann98 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Enjoying your progress pics TJ! We have a narrow front CA that has retired to auger duty. Runs 50,000bu of wer corn into the dryer each fall. It’s nowhere near as nice as yours tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tj01 Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 Been a long time since I've posted anything but I haven't bought anymore tractors that are welcome on here lol. So when I bought my cultivators for the CA, it also came with the original pin hitch drawbar. Well I need more room under my shed for my newest purchase(a 1942 John Deere LA) so I'm going to take the cultivators off for a while and put the straight drawbar on. Pics to come when the weather clears up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tj01 Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 Well I hate that it happened but I needed room under my shed. Bye bye cultivators. Hello straight drawbar. Don’t worry I’m not going to get red of the cultivators so the may make a reappearance one day. Now I just need to paint the drawbar and touch up where the plows were. Of course I had to put the side weights back on. Don’t really look right without them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Fan Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I would love to have a pair of those engine side weights for my CA! Guess if I never get the belly mower off of it, it won't matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tj01 Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Dt Fan They are very neat to have. There is a facebook group called Allis Chalmers CA,D10, and D12. They sometimes have sets for sale for pretty decent prices. Are they not able to be installed with the belly mower on? I haven't really studied a CA with a belly mower. I would like to find a belt pulley for my CA and my WD but everyone that I have found has been to far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Fan Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Tj, the mower doesn't interfere with mounting, (I think), just don't need them. My tractor is snap-coupler and I have a disc and 2-14 plow I would like to use on it someday. Have one set of wheel weights, already painted and ready to go on. Just no need for mowing grass. With the 72" deck, that thing makes quick work of mowing the farm yard. I probably should get on facebook someday, just haven't done it yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tj01 Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Didn't think of that. Yeah really no need for the weight just mowing. Mine has a lot of weights and all I have for mine is cultivators, drawbar, and a homemade 3 point. I never really plan on using mine for much other than little things. One day I plan to put the 3 point back on so I can use most of the implements I have around. I need to work the CA more than I do. It would probably help it some but I just never have. Might put the rear cultivators on next year and rip up the yard to resow some grass. Oh I bet the 72in belly mower is nice. I have a 60in woods on my cub loboy that's helpful around the house.

DT Fan Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I would really like to do some plowing with mine someday. Of course, I'd also really like to do some plowing with my 1066, 756, Allis 185, and other bigger tractor I might get drug home. The 826 gets a pass on this as I don't think plowing is the best thing for a hydro unit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
