I got these scratcher cultivator looking attachments with a Farmall Cub tractor I bought. I have never seen anything like them before, and would like to know:

#1) What they are called

#2) What they are used for

#3) How they are supposed to be mounted.

They are rakes used behind standard shovel cultivation. they level the groove and make a little less clods in the space between rows.
They go up with the primary tool bar of the cultivator, and (ours) had chain supports to allow them to float. Jim
 

So basically you would use them like regular "scratchers" and use them either under the belly or in the rear? What orientataion (if it matters) should they be used? What are the prongs for that are sticking opposite the other tines? THANKS!
 
On our farm in the 60s, we had them attached to the rear of the H and M 225 (I think) two row cultivators. They were slightly different.
The tines should all be in a row, (some on yours are bent. The Prong on the end is (I believe) a push rod designed to gently assure no crop gets under/into the rake.
They work at an angle, they are not perpendicular to the rows, nor in alignment, but fit between at a "Bias". As ours were for a different attachment, I recommend getting a manual, or parts description to be more well informed! Jim
 
A couple of the tines are bent. They are usually used behind. Mount them at an angle so they dont mess up the other rows. You need fine soil for best use. Sometimes depending on soil conditions they could be used as a weeder which is their real purpose as the ones normally used behind only have two teeth and are stronger.
 
Thank you very much for everything guys. I have just never seen any of this build and size. Thanks again!!
