The implement I was trying to identify is posted on Implement Pictures. Thanks to the people that have been patient with my attempt to identify the implement.
 
It is not a plow of any type, though an interesting guess. in my opinion it is a farmer built device made from parts on hand (possibly a silage chopper blower blade, and an adjustable pivot. It may have been used for a few possible (imagined) tasks.
A cultivator shield
A scraper on a tool that gets mud packed
A earth knife for opening a slit in the ground
A marker blade to make field alignment marks for tillage, or planting

I do not think it is possible to know unless the maker was asked!! JimN
 
I have seen those before, they were used on cultivators in potatoes and sugar beets around here. never actually seen them in use but I think they were used to push soil up around the plants. May even have some here right now on a cultivator for my Uncles M.
 
Vacherie: The 1-3/8" round shank is designed to fit IH cultivator clamps from the 40s and 50s. You obvoiusly have a farmer fabrication. Jim made a good point, ask the designer what it is used for.

I've done quite a number of these myself, must have dozen or more different configurations around here, some with discs on them, some with cultivator shields, some with hilling blades, etc. I also have a potato plow, middle buster that mounts on my center mount cultivators. That one created a problem of potatoes rolling down under 140 rear wheels. Cured that with a device just like yours, clamps on cultivator tool bar and goes back just inside rear tires. I suppose 50 years from now, someone just like you, will be asking what I used all these devices for. Maybe I should write an instruction book. One more point, not all of my fabrications are currently used for the purpose I designed them for.
 
I would like for you to write a book of your
creations with pictures. I plan to go back to the farmer (corn and sweet potatoes) to get more information of unidentified implements that I bought from with the 140. He lives about 80 miles from me near Rayne, LA.
