It's not that I haven't tried to research this item. Have spent an enormous amt. of time on the internet. If I can only have one or two clues as to what it MIGHT be or who manufactured it, perhaps I'll be able to find out more. Way the story goes, think it was originally a horse drawn implement -- a 2 ft. pc. of the tongue broke off. Modified for Ford 8N tractor use and was then utilized on this property as, we all called, a rowmaker. Most of yellow (not sure if an original color faded over time) parts have castings which start with letter 'P' followed by one or two digits. Some are 6 digits starting with '030' & one starts with what appears to be a 'G'. One of the two 'diggers' (pc. which makes the furrows) has circularly casted 'Genuine', then what looks similar to a Celtic cross symbol centered between the two words, and another 4-5 lettered word (can't read other letters, maybe starts with 'M' and ends with 'A'). Can't find a mfg. name anywhere. Is there anyway I can ascertain any info. based on casting numbers? Fastened onto and above the diggers are small (6' long, 2' wide) iron bins. Perhaps they were intended to hold seed or fertilizer? Must have originally been chain driven because of the sprockets on the inside of the wheels.
