I need information on a horse-drawn field cultivator. It has no numbers or make anywhere. It might have been made by Lenox? It has two wheels, no seat, spring shanks that extend to the rear about three or four feet, then turn down to spear-point tips that can be changed to sweeps, if desired. There are chains that can be adjusted for depth and mounting location. It has round pieces with multiple holes that you remove a pin, set the depth, and replace the pin. I don't have a picture of it, but would know it if I saw one. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

WHAT ABOUT A WHITE CUB?

In my family, there exists a Farmall Cub tractor. While this is not unusual, the tractor has one unique feature: it was painted white at the factory. I was told once that this was because it was a dealer demo model. I am wondering if this is true, and if so, how many like this were made, were there any mechanical differences in a 'demo' model (creating more power for salability), and would such a tractor have any significant value over a similar red-color Cub?

VINTAGE MOWERS RESCUED FROM THE SCRAP HEAP

The farm mower, which has been around for over a hundred years, was being sold for scrap. I thought it would be nice to save some of the older models, along with later ones, also, so I began looking for them. I ended up with 20 mowers.

Some of the older ones I have are Jones, Adriance-Platt, Thomas, Champion wobble gear, Walter A. Wood, Stoddard, Osborne and Dain. I would like to have some farm museum get them for display. I have sold a few.

LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON MAGNETO RECHARGER

I am looking for any information on this Colpin Magneto Recharger. I found it in an antique store in Grandview, Mo. The label on the box reads 'For Ford and Fordson, A.C. Volts 50-220 D.C. Volts 18-220.' It was manufactured by the Magnetizer Manufacturing Co., Los Angeles, Calif.
