Hey everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself as a new subscriber to this list. I have some older farm equipment I'm going to need help with and in fact, I have a few questions right off the bat.
I have a 1963 IHC 560 tractor and a 8' Jeoffroy Model 7 Chisel Plow. I've been looking around for a shank and mounting bracket for the cultivator as well as a new set of shovels for it. I've attached a picture of the cultivator. The reason I want different shovels is that mine are pretty narrow and they leave wide space of un-cultivated ground.

I think Melroe bought out Jeoffroy. Might want to find a used shank somewhere. There is a salvage yard in Northern ND that might be able to help you.
Watch the angle on new sweeps, make sure the new sweeps have the same angle from the blade to the mounting holes.

Now I could be wrong, but I think the shanks are from the old 100 JD chisel plow. I have a Roll-O-Flex and those shanks are definitely JD, and this looks the same, with the old on top of the shank. The mounts, however, aren't JD, I don't think. Good luck.

Looks like an older Graham Holme trip & shank would fit - early Graham's used I beam, then went to box iron.... I may have some older ones - can check and measure next week if you'd like...

Jeoffroy made chisel plows for Allis Chalmers, too. I know they made the model 410 and a few other models but parts aren't available from AGCO. I think the parts are different depending on whether its a single spring or two spring and also they made a high clearance and a regular height model which means you'll have to take an old shank with you whenever you find someone that has parts. They don't seem to match up with any others out there as I have been looking, too. I think a guy in Washington State had cut a wide one down and had some spare shanks. You might want to ask around on the unofficial allis website.(www.allischalmers.com)
