Aerator Help Newbie

Just purchased this heavy duty Aerator and have no idea of what brand it is. Checking it over and found a few of the spoons damaged. Looks like they ran over some rocks. Plan to convert it to a 3 pt hitch type and run it behind my Ford Tractor. Any help I can get to identify the make and model would be great, also where I might be able to find spoons to replace the damaged ones. Thanks for your help. Ron

I have no idea what make that is but the spoons look just like the lesco's. That might just be the first one ever made.

I think that model is part of one of the first Abrams tanks.

I found out it is a F G Aerifier with a flexi-press made by West Point Lawn Products in West Point, PA.Some also said it was called a Hahn-Westpoint. I think it was made around 1947-1957. In great shape for the age, the spoons are still available from R&R in AZ. Any other information anyone might have would be great. Old manuals, parts books etc.. I,m restoring it to use, will post pictures when completed, along with how much I have invested.
