Been awhile since I've been here. but once again I am on the plow prowl. To bring everything back up to speed, a couple of years ago I bought and "restored" a Ford 102 series 2 bottom roll over plow. There's a picture of it in my posts on this site. I pulled it well with a 32 HP (25 pto) Kubota tractor. I have traded up on my tractor (exactly double the HP) and I want a three bottom plow. I think I should be able to pull one ok.
I found an Oliver that may fit the bill and I will try to post pics of it later but I want to see if I can get a good guessing game going as to what it is. You know model, year manufactured, all that sort of thing.
The plow is a cat II set up as an 18 inch plow but it has 16 inch shares and moldboards on it. the main body of the plow has holes to convert from an 18 inch plow to a 16 inch or a 14 inch plow. It is also convertible to a two bottom because the entire rear third of the plow can be unbolted right behind the second bottom. The plow is rolled by a cylinder mounted across the headstock and turns the plow by means of a chain. I think some of the international plows use a similar setup to turn. Anybody want to play?
I also wonder what the effect of having 16 inch moldboards set at 14 inches would have on the performance of the plow.
Well I found a link to an old auction that has 4 or 5 pictures. of course that is not my plow but it is a picture of an identical plow
