This guy is selling some pretty cool Simplicity Walker attachments, that could easily be used behind a tractor with a sleave hitch.
The cultivator is identical to the 209 cultivator marketed for early B series and pre Landlord tractors. I have one, and it rocks. The jack screw on this can be flipped around to allow adjustment from the seat. In looking at this one, and mine, they appear identical, with holes for jack screw palcement for either application. I've seen these go for over $200.

Pretty cool harrow...adjustment would have to be made off-seat.

Rockin Disc...this is the one that tempts me to make the 5 hour drive. I see nothing that would need to be done here to use on a rider. I would buy it in a heartbeat...

Good looking mold plow...not sure if it could be retrofitted to turn thte screw around or not. As part of a package deal, it would be nice to have since it's an original Simplicity.

Most stuff is getting out of reach...you really have to get lucky and stumble on something to get a deal. Most of the hard to find stuff that still exists out there is probably buried in a barn, and holds no value at all to the owners. Then there's nuts like me that drive all over and pay through the nose to get a piece for the collection.
My goal is to have a specific set of attachments and two restored, working tractors. After about a year of trying hard, Im much closer, and am a tiny bit of money ahead after selling excess blowers, tractors, etc. Basically I have a bunch more stuff and have broke even on it...but could make a killing by selling it off at today's prices. Cant do it.... |

I was thinking the same thing. I bought one of those cultivators a couple of years ago off of E-Bay for $19 less than an hour away. Bought a moldboard plow complete with the colter for $45. Should have bought more items back then to complete the attachment list, but at todays prices it aint gonna happen! |

Neat old stuff. Looks like they were originally for 2 wheelers but should serve a riding tractor well. |

I'd bid on that cultivator if it wasn't a thousand miles from here.... |
