Planter and cultivator wanted

I’m going to be traveling from Spokane Washington to Lorain Ohio the end of July and returning first week of August. I’m looking to buy a complete cub planter assembly as well as cultivator parts, preferably a complete set. I currently have the mid mount universal tool bar and some other pieces but I’d like to find the rear mount cultivator as well. I’ll be traveling across I-90 on the way to Ohio, and probably go up and over Lake Michigan hitting I-94 on the way home through North Dakota. Pulling a camper in a short bed truck so won’t have a ton of space for extras, but if anyone out there has some cool attachments I’m willing to see what I can do. And I am will be in north Ohio for about a week and willing to make a drive about 3 hours from Sheffield Ohio for a day trip while I’m there for the right attachments.

Have one in Minnesota about 2 hrs north off I-90 call 320-287-1302
 
I have some things you may be interested in. I'm in central MN, a 15 minute side trip off of I-94. Send me a direct message if you want details.

From the first/second pictures I see that you have the universal mounting frames plus the front tool bars. But you do not have the tool bar extensions that are needed to attach the tools that work closest to the row. The clamp that holds the extension is on the left side, can't see the right. In the third picture, it looks like you have a pair of shields (#91) but without the attaching brackets. These were normally used with the spring tooth option. You have 2 spring teeth, again no standards/brackets to attach them. Brackets/standards are probably still attached to the tool bar extensions, wherever they went. You also have a pair of disk hillers. They look light duty, with small diameter standards. I suspect they came from something like a garden tractor. You may not find any brackets that let you use them. You also have a mismatched pair of spring trips (one has a longer standard). The mismatch doesn't keep them from being used. (Reminds me, be careful not to smack the oil pan when raising the cultivator. Suggest using a stop on the Touch-Control lever to limit up.) You have one clamp for attaching a spring trip to a tool bar. It does not look like the ones used on a Cub. But if the square and round holes are the right size, it could be used. The rest of what you have are various bolt-on ground working tools, some well-worn. These are pretty standard items, some are commonly available. I suggest you look through a Cub-144 Owner's Manual at the various configurations to see what suits your needs (suggest the 11-30-50 version in the Resources as it has a parts section).

By the way, that tractor has a hydraulic bypass block which is simply looped back with a hose. Do you have an attachment that uses remote hydraulics (example - loader).

If you have Facebook marketplace there is a guy near Sandusky who more than likely what you are looking for. There's also a guy near Jefferson Ohio who has an unusual set of cultvators that isn't quite complete but it appears like they were used for potatoes. Almost all the diggers were spring tooth harrow style except for two disk type that I've seen on potato Miller attachments for a three point.
He's also has a really nice sicklebar that could use a couple knives.
The only thing I noticed missing was a down pressure spring from the rockarm shaft to one side of cultivator. Hopefully this helps.
He was looking for a distributor and a magneto and a wiring harness himself. Someone switched his to 12v and hooked up the magneto to 12v rather than ground. I bought a plow setup that I've come to find out only needs the drawbar attaching block.so I'm improvising one until I locate the proper one.
 
Thanks you
