1. Did Cat ever private lable any farm equipment or attachments? Woudl the spring chisel have been Cat labelled?

I don't know what u mean labeled. They did fab some of their own tools for their tool-bar machines. Their coiled spring field cultivator coils were made by killifer owned by j-deere and old original ones would be 1" square. Without seeing the mounting hardware i can't confirm its manufacture. U don't picture any chisels but cat did make them, light duty and heavy duty ones. The gauge wheel pictured is cat and fabricated by cat.

2. Are these indeed Cat brackets?

Those are early cat d2 brackets using the 3/4" bolts, they went to 7/8 " bolts later on.


3. Do the brackets themselves have any value?

Everything pictured has very good value, and if u wanted to sell put what u have on ebay for your best buck. u will have a limited number of t-bar bidders depending where the stuff is and what the start price is.

post some better pics of the cultivator hardware and i'll be able to tell u what u have. good luck.

couple more pics.

So, I am assuming the duckfoot was a home brew deal but that the yellow chisel was probably cat branded and sold that way.
The chisel wheels are not solid cast as they appear in the picture, but rims with steel plates welded in. I do remember an old DC case we farmed with that had solid 4 inch thick cast iron fornt wheels, but that is a bunny trail.

Nice to know the stories we had were sort of accurate.

It amazes me how much knowledge is in peoples head and on enthusiast boards. I guess I just don't see it as much on boards I am familiar with because the knowledge is 'common' to me on other topics.

thanks to all.

we also have a lot of D2 engine parts that I will post to the ads later.
