Boy, always took so long to put those darn things on and then if you didn't have power steering, oh boy!  Preferred the narrow front WD and 2 row cultivator for putting on and turning at the end rows!

When my dad and uncle farmed (before the dealership) they had 4-row front mount cultivators like the one pictured on the WD-45.  Had them mounted on a narrow front WD and narrow front WD-45.  Neither of them had power steering.  I used to ride along on the toolbox.  

It's funny that you notice the lights we were picking on him too. We just switched that ltractor to 12v system. I gave him bulbs to put in and he didn't even try to adjust them when he was done.

Great pics.  Thank you for posting.  Brings back some good memories of many hours on the tractors.  We had a C and the guy I worked for had a Farmall H, neither had power steering.  I don't remember them being difficult steering.

We have a 53' WD with the fully mounted 2 row cultivator which I am trying to install the side dresser fertilizer set up on. And we also have a 51' CA with a fully mounted 2 row. We are close to having all the correct brackets and hardware to mount our 2 row set up on the 37' WC as well.uploads/9251/C_2_row.jpguploads/9251/WD_2_row.jpguploads/9251/Mounting_Fertilizer_set_up.jpg

We just took the side dressers off the ca in the pictures. I use it to side dress our sweet corn but at 3000 pounds per acre chicken litter on 100 acres i would be at it for a month trying to run that through the side dresser hahaha. We've got 2 2 rows for a WD both missing some brackets and another ca with a 2 row mounted on it. My dad went through a thing he was just buying all the cultivators and plows he could find it seemed like. There are soooo many plows in the shed name a number of botoms and a width of an AC plow and i promise we got one. One bottom up to six. thanks for sharing your pictures by the way its nice to see I'm not the only one running this equipment like it's 1960.

I also went through a time where I would buy all the cultivators I could get my hands on, took me five tries to get a complete cultivator set up on the C. and about five tries for the WD, every time I found a set the seller was telling me that all the parts are there, and I would correct them.....well where is this bracket, that bracket, plant guards, etc...  I have parts left over in the barn from all these purchases.

The front bracket for both. We had one 2 row for wd and a 4 row for 45 we found the back brackets on junk tractors at the bone yard and then bought the other 2 row because it had a front bracket but no rear/ center. It would be nice to find other front bracket for the 2 row not sure how much it would get used but it would be complete.
