Should this be with another thread ?? Seems this one comes out of the blue and really relates to something ongoing. Or am I missing something? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Sorry...Not really out of the blue. I couldn't find a way to attach pictures to a reply via the private email on our profiles. This was just the quickest way to get these pictures to TIMB.
Besides, I needed the practice resizing and posting pictures on TBN. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

What happened was I noticed Kevin listed a 3-bottom plow in his profile, along with his JD 4710. I was curious as to how big that plow was, and how well his 4710 pulled it.
Can't tell if it's a 3x12, 3x14, or 3x16 in the pics yet, but I'd say that's a pretty good pull in any case for a CUT.
(Especially for a hydro! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I'd be real curious as to how that plow would work hooked to a 3pt, and how it could possibly be adjusted to do a decent job plowing. Not that I doubt it can be done, but real curious.
Seems the 3pt drawbar slipped in there is way too high to pull the plow without it putting undue compression on the top arm. But that is just a 'feeling' without knowing.
Would you have some pics of it hooked up and in the ground?
Or will you be getting it repaired and in the ground yet this fall or not until Spring?
Anxious to see how it turns out, and apologize for horning in on your thread with TIMB /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Must be the "backbone" is the top link?

Several things. 1st. The drawbar obviously is a 3-point drawbar that has been "adapted" to the plow. On a factory-built plow drawbar, there would be an offset at each end to make the plow run level whit one wheel of the tractor in the plowed furrow. (from the previous round)
Generally, plows will run about half as deep as the width of the bottom. The "shins" on that plow look mighty tall. I'd say it's a 16" bottom.
I'm at a loss as to what brand of plow that is. If I was to bet, I'd say it's an Allis Chalmers, but could be a Case. It COULD be an A-C "Snap-Coupler" plow from the WD-45/D-15,17,19 days. If that was the case, there was no top link "mast".
BUT.... That would be a VERY easy plow to convert to 3-point hitch. If it's a 3X16" plow, you PROBABLY will need 55 or 60 HP (at the minimum) to drag it through "average" soils. (At a depth it was intended to plow at) In addition, I'd say you would need 6000lbs (+) (again, in "average" soils)
See if you can identify the plows manufacturer.
(I've got 2 different 3-botton plows right now, one John Deere model 416A and one Ford model 101) Did I mention I have this "thing" for old plows?

Plow is a Farmall Fast Hitch 3 bottom plow that someone has cut the 2 Fast Hitch arms off. I had one for my Farmall 340. Had to remove one of the plows. Tractor could not pull three. Attached is a old ad of a Fast Hitch Plow.

Yep! You're right! I was thinking A-C or Case because of what I saw as "Orange" paint, but since you mentioned IH, it started looking faded red. Looke like IH "Super Chief" bottoms now that you mention it. Good catch!
