I have A Ferguson 9 Shank Cultivator/Ripper similiar to one I found on Ebay for a good picture that is nicer than mine, I copied their picture. I would like to mount some Hiller Disc from AG Supply which are 16" and have a 22" shank that is 1 1/4" in diamenter. These are round shanks. Agri Supply part number 31752. Sine the frame of the cultivator is angle iron, I cannot figure out how to mount the disc to the frame of the unit. Can someone tell me where I can buy clamps or make some suggestions? Thank you.

I think the reason why you won't find anything is because angle iron won't withstand the twisting forces that the hillers will put on them.

I'd recommend replacing one of the angles with square tube; you can then mount the hiller shanks to it with u-bolts and a small plate or any of the similarly conventional manners that I'm sure you've already seen.
