i borrowed a 3 point 1 bottom ripper from a old friend, it was ih red, and he had ih tractors so im thinking this thing was a ih brand it is about 2 to 3 inches wide on its shank,the shank itself is around 18 inches long, handy a heck as when used, when it engauges the ground it tips up and nearly doubles its depth that it sinks to, put in a small water line with it, id like to find one, but what is this thing, i mean what model ect am i looking for? no tags on it that i can find, its set outside for decades
 
I had a neighbor that had one for a Allis-Chalmers hitch, Wasn't much to it,he said he use to bury electrical wire with it, i think in the 50's!
 
Have you ever heard of a Melroe plow,The same company that builds the Bobcat skid steer loaders. It wasn't much of a plow compared to a IHC, but they did have a unique reset mechanism for when the share hit a rock. If you wanted to make a trencher plow ,that's the reset mechanism, i would start with.
 
I do not know if IH ever built a single shank subsoiler on 3 point. I've never seen one. I have seen them sold by Central Tractor or Tractor Supply. Lots of short-lines use red paint.
 
Well I have never seen a vintage IH subsoiler as IH did not have 3point until the mid to late 1960's as IH was always promoting their proprietary fast hitch until then so I am doubting IH brand.

My guess is that you used a Dearborn subsoiler. Dearborn made one that incorporated a built in but special top link on the 3 point hitch. That special top link telescopes freely allowing the subsoiler to tip and dig deeper.

The Dearborns that I have seen are either gray or red.

I have a Dearborn as I describe. I can eventually post a pic when the weather gets warmer....
 
I have an IH 3 point & 2 point convertible 1 prong subsoiler. IH had a conversion to convert some 2 point implements to 3 point. Eason
