Parts I.D. Help Request

Please note that I am posting these photos for Scott.

Does anyone know what these parts are for?

They appear to be different styles of paperweights.

Sorry, it was too much to resist.

Bruce, that's funny! Thanks for the early morning laugh.

Kraig: B looks similar to a Brinly-made Bolens sleeve hitch adaptor which has been modified (lengthened) by a PO for use on something orange. That extension (rear triangular area) isn't OEM, it's genuine "rigging".

C may be the spring-assisted lift bar that goes with B.

Without some measurements it's hard to judge, but A just may fit over the end of the item B extension to give it more depth for some different implement application.

Item A was with my red MTD 782 when I purchased it.
Item B & C were found together.
Item D came with a Brinly Plow I found.
Item E I think is part of a bagging set up.
Any help on these parts would be appreciated.

What measurements do you need?

My guess on item B is it used to be a sleve hitch for a Bolens/Simplecity with the piviot part of a snowblade welded to it to make a bracket for a belly blade.

E looks very close to the bracket that holds the bags for a bagger, late 60's/early70's Sears I think.
D looks like part of an old cultivator that has been adapted for use as a sleeve hitch.
It could also be a real old FACTORY Sears sleeve hitch, missing some peices.

B is a modified Bolens tube frame sleeve hitch
C probably is lift arm for B

A is a bracket, hahaha!

If E hooks to a sleeve hitch, could it be used as some kind of LIGHT fork lift? Anyway, I'm all for the paperweight idea.

I'm with Earl on D. I think it's part of an implement mount for a walk-behind that has been adapted to a sleeve hitch. The cross-bar looks similar in size to what's on my Bolens Huski Gardener, but nothing else there identifies it as Bolens to me. Any of the hundreds of walk behinds could have used a similar tool bar.
