What type of crops are you cultivating. My tractor is a Super A with a 133 cultivator. Not a great difference other than you have pneumatic lift, I have hydraulic lift. I cut the square shafting the ground working tools clamp to off just behind the lift arms. I welded to the cut off pieces a 2.5 inch square tube running from one side of tractor to other, (90 degrees to line of travell)This tubing is 6 feet long, when raised touches clutch housing. This becomes a tool bar. My reason for using 2.5" , I have some ground working tools that clamp to that. I also have two systems of tool bars that fasten to the 2.5" tool bar and parallel to it (1) A pair of 1.5" square solid steel tool bars I can use the old clamps and ground working tools on. (2) The one I like best and use most, a pair of tool bars .5" x 2" designed to use modern s-tines on. I have two of these tractors, 130 set at 60" doing 2 - 30" rows and Super A set at 52" doing 2 - 26" rows. The reason I asked what you are cultivating is that I tried 34" rows potatoes, problem with these tractors on 68" doing 2 rows potatoes. When you get potatoes hilled good, final drives damage potato plants. Potatoes need a tractor like C, H or M with lots of clearence over rows.
