Identifying levers found in barn

[Kando]

I've found these in the barn and I'm trying to figure out what they may have gone to. My thought would be either a ground driven manure spreader or perhaps some seeder.

They used those types of levers on all kinds of equipment when something had to be metered like fertilizer boxes on corn planters, side dressers, etc

 

[oosik]

Those look like standard levers on a whole variety of older implements.

They were used to make holes in barn floors too....

Only three replies in.... that didn't take long! :laughing:

 

[MossRoad]

They could be for all kind of stuff...

 

[MossRoad]

But they're green, so I'm gonna take a wild guess and say start with Deere implements.

The attachment point looks like it is made for a quick and easy on/off.

had those exact levers in my barn a few years ago from a JD mounted cultivator from my brothers B.

Our two rows corn planter has them too.

As others said....all kinds of old equipment had them.

Ah, yes. I should have remembered Oliver, as they were made right here in South Bend. :mur:

We had a lever similar to them on a corn stalk chopper. One row setup pulled by a farmall cub. You had to raise and lower the chopper with that lever if I remember it correctly that was close 50 years ago.

Don't be silly. Those go on pallet jacks.

Or Deutz ? but certainly no Montana ..........

 

[ovrszd]

I'm calling that JD green. Oliver green was darker and more subtle.

 

[MESSMAKER]

My first thought was a set of cutting harrows.
