Weird IH Piece(Canada-made)
« on: June 10, 2011, 03:49:10 AM »
Has the IH logo and the number 3(or maybe 8)124A  and maybe 5-6" long.  Picked it up tonight at a tag sale in Waverly.

Thanks

It looks a bit like a step, doesn't it?

I'm not sure but I think it is a piece for a high lift jack. I can't find one just like it but here is a simular one.

could be part of a check wire stake, missing the stake.

Not being a farmer, I don't have a clue what all these pieces do, but living Iowa, I guess I better learn!!

Thanks folks.  In search of the elusive Speed-Hed wrench tomoprrow.  HOpe it's still where I saw it last....

LOL, there aren't all that many farmers left that rememebr what these pieces do either...

A Check wire stake is just a stake you stick in the ground to hold the end of a check wire.

A Checkwire is what you streach across a field so your seed planter plants seeds nice and neat.

(The checkwire has little knots in it every yard or so that trip a lever in the seeder making it drop a seed...)

It has been half a century since anyone did it that way tho...
