I should have recognized that frame as an Oliver. I had two of them like that with the pipe holes in the frame. The front mount cutivator mounted to the pipes that went through the frame. On my earlier one, which had a mechanical lift, the lift had a lever arm on both sides of the tractor, under the dash board. A iron bar connected to the arm that you bolted to the pipe. When you stomped on the pedal, it would rotate the pipes to lift the cultivators out of the ground, like when you turned at row ends. Pretty clever design, really...ARH
