Following are detail pictures of the two-way plow mounted on an early Cub. It appears that several parts of the original plow were missing as the restorer had to make several replacements himself.

The trip lever is a replacement.
The cross bar has found it’s way here from a cultivator.
Originally, the chains attached to the rear rockshaft with a pair of smaller brackets.

Howard Speed Reduction Unit
The speed reduction unit is required to slow the Cub enough for the tiller to work effectively. This unit is intended ONLY to slow the tractor. I should not be used to attempt to pull an increased load.
