I have a cultivator for a DC I mont on my CC. Tell me what you need or dont understand, I should be able to help you with it. Basically, i put the whole thing on 6 or 8 pieces of tin when Im not using it to keep the grass and weeds fro growing in it. Wen Im ready to use it, I take the two front gangs and carry them off a bit to the side, Im 56 by the way. Then I back the CC into the axle yokes. The rear end of the cultivators is held up pretty good by a leaver loking piece of metal, or a foot so that I can get pretty close tocentering up to it. I then put the front 1/2 circles on each of the yokes thereby fastening it loosly to the rear axle. I then fasten the lift arms to the lift on both sides and the rear end is mounted. Raise the foot and put it in the hook made for it. Then I go and loosen the cultivator mounts on the front of the tractor I then lift one gang and insert the square tubing into the tractor mount. Then I tighten it up REAL GOOD, then I do the same with the other side. If you have to 4ft or so rods left over, you may have a slot undermieth the pully and one exatly the same low on the other side mounted up to the engine side where the engine mounts to the transmission. These go one each from that slot to somplace on the cultivator. I think they were put there for 4 row cultivators. Mine are 2 row. Anyways, now, up by the underside of the gas tank you should find a yoke of sorts with a hole on either side, on both sides of the gastank. This is on the cultivator itself, not on the tractor. Take your adjustment leavers and at the bottom of them you will see the same thing, but facing down, where the others are facing up. Insert the yokes together and run a bolt through the 4 holes. Do that to both levers. There is a rod going both back and forward on both levers. The long rods go to the front gangs, the shorter rods to the rear gangs. The avers will move forward and backward during operation. Good luck I have found these to be the easiest cultivators for one man to put on or take off, and at least mine do a fantastic job in the rows
