Farmall Super C Cultivator Questions

Anyone have an owners manual for the cultivators they could scan and email to me? Also I need to lay off furrows (rows)with the two row cultivators. What is the best way to do this. My dad's Cub had a tool bar for the corn planter shoe that he mounted a shovel plow to for this purpose. Did IH make similar tool bars for the Super C cultivators? I need to get my rows spaced evenly so that I can cultivate them.
 
The planter is what will determine the row spacing, not the cultivator. Planter should have row markers that drop down to mark where to drive for the next 2 rows. The width of the rows is generally adjustable on the planter. Then the C, SC,200, etc. cultivator is adjustable on a square "tool bar" to match the width of the rows. I don't know of a device on the cultivator that would mark your rows before planting, if you were planting by hand.
Of course the modern way the "big boys" do their planting is with a GPS guided device. It will keep a 16 row planter within a couple inches of the previous pass.
 
I used to clamp a bar that went from one side to the other and you could place a tooth any where on that bar. Or if you want you can get a bar the same size as a danish cultivator and clamp or weld 2 ends on it and that would fit into the clamps on the cultivaor then you can put danish teeth any where you like. I have one of those i could email you a picture if you want.
 
I'm not trying to mark the rows, I'm trying to dig some rows at the correct width for the 2-row cultivators to till it.
 
We did not use the one piece bar on the SC cultivators to mark off rows like on an A, SA, or Cub. We simply used a single shank holder that was long enough to reach the row and this only for crops like Tobacco or Tomatoes that were to be transplanted. Even then the transplanter actually set the row location. If you plan to hand plant, you can use a middle buster or shovel to open the row using a single offset shank holder for each row. Remember where you place the seed is where the row will be. You can actually go back over and cover the seed with the cultivators using two shanks per row.
 
Well then you need the toolbar that goes across the rear then you can mount two shovels at the width you want for cultivation or remove all the shanks but two and set them for the 40 in rows. I have the veggie set-up for the rear on the B and can set shovels for any width i want to mark rows. You need the veggie cult that was for sale on e-bay then you could have any width you wanted those cults for the A,B,BN,C and SC are very rare but there was one for a C,SC in Calif not too long ago.
 
I never thought of using the rear cultivator bar. I do have one. I don't remember what it looks like, but it may work. I was just used to mounting the layoff plow on the front cultivator of the Cub.
