Need Help Identifying Plow

TurkeyHerder · Mar 28, 2013

Hello all. I am trying to find parts for my 2-14 plow but I do not know what make/model it is. Can anyone help me to identify this?

Would look much better painted the original John Deere Green

I believe that's a John Deere 415A plow, mid 50's to early 60's vintage. Some parts are still available through aftermarket sources, but getting scarce. Issues with that plow are; Not much throat clearance. That results in plugging in crop residue or heavy sod. Type HHS bottoms tend to pull harder than some other brands of same era.

I used a 3-bottom 415A for years.

Having one of my "good days" and able to see OK this morning. Hoping this is a sign of things to come!

It's good to be back! Thanks!

FWJ--welcome back. Glad you're feeling better.

My JD 2-bottom plow looks like the one that the OP has. Mine has coulters. It's green and marked "2-14".

Thank you all for the replies. I agree that it is a John Deere plow. But knowing that it is a 415A will help me narrow down the parts I need. The plow does a good job except for the root balls continually plugging it up. But I guess this is the case for any plow that has more than one bottom. Are there any tricks out there to alleviate the root ball problem that anyone knows of?

Farmwithjunk, what plow would you recomend to avoid the plugging? Have you ever used a Ford/Ferguson? I saw one posted for $350. It was a 2-12. I would not mind spending the money if i knew it would not plug like the John Deere plow i have.
