Ferguson Plow ?????

miner09 · Jan 30, 2015

Anyone know if this is a Ferguson? It has no tag or any holes where one has been. It has 16A-A110 on plow wing. No other marking. It look like a Ferguson but could it be a Ford or other brand make by same company. Maybe Steve B will know.

That doesn't look like my Ferguson one bottom. The top link brackets are not like mine at all.

There was a early plow that had this type top brackets. Looks to be cast(??) bracket. Most people said they were pre war. The later was just flat stock bent like most two bottom plows.

It is an early model single bottom Ferguson. It has the crank style cross shaft which Ford or no one else could use because Ferguson had it patented. The stamping on the headstock bracing proves that it is a Ferguson also.

Did they ever have a tag or Ferguson sticker?

It is indeed a Ferguson plow. The letter/numbers are Ferguson. It looks like the tailwheel has no rivets showing on the outside of the dish. If this is the case, I was told it is a very early plow - 1939-1940. Somewhere I read they made them only a year or so that way. If it is not already yours by now - grab it!

Here's a photo of my later ferguson one bottom. Top frame is bolted and U bolts for the cross shaft are bolted into the sides of the frame instead of in the casting of the frame like the earlier models. I believe they switched over in '43 (at least with the two and three bottom) not sure on the single bottom. I was told the smooth tail wheel ended in '41. On my two bottom '41 plow it had the ferguson tag on it but also had ford stamped into the frame.

Brent is correct
The plow is a early ferguson Sherman . Has cast top frame as all early ferguson sherman plows had .it should have had a four hole brass tag on the right side of plow, but after 70 plus years a lot can happen. The early ferguson Sherman plows had type codes that started with the plow size such as 16Aor14A and so on. The later just Ferguson plows had type codes AO. Witch stood fo moldboard plows the. Second number indicates how the plow was set up at the time of sale 28 was a complete plow with 16" rolling coulters and bottoms.
30 was a complete plow with 18" rolling coulters and bottoms.
40 was a complete plow with 16" rolling coulters less bottoms
The first numbers on the later ferguson tag was the size and type of bottoms such as ( 12-B, 14-R, 10H etc)

My Dad bought a new 16in. Single Ferguson in 1955 to pull with an 8N-had trouble pulling the double 12in Dearbourn in hard clay ground. The single plow did a wonderful job and did not clog when plowing corn stalks. The 1955 plow looked just like this one except it had the econemy point and shin.

Hey Kirk, you wouldn't measure how far the brackets come out from the main center beam would you? I have a single bottom I am piecing together, but I am going to have to make those two brackets. I would greatly appreciate it.

Kirk-NJ · Feb 1, 2015

I'm sorry jason but I'm not understanding your question. Which brackets do you want me to measure?

I think that is a reproduction of a fake made by Mongolian illegals working in a North Korean tin can recycling plant.
Probably, judging from the paint chipped when the jerries dropped it on London, I'd say June or July 1940. Could be a left over 39 model tho??
I could tell ya from here the poms sold it to some Massachusetts tobacco farmer so he could plow under all his stale ol King Edward cigars, grow some fresh ones that burn slower. Let people get their money's worth from a nickel huh???
I would throw it in the cattle guard of whatever okie you got it from.

I'm going to have to make the brackets circled in red. I need to know the distance from the main beam over to the bracket. The distance where the blue arrow is.

steve19438 · Feb 1, 2015

what kinda mushrooms you eatin there on OK???

Kirk-NJ · Feb 1, 2015

The distance (blue arrow) 3 15/16", same on the
other side.
On the main beam it is 2 1/8" thick, than where the
brackets start to flair out it necks down to one
inch thick. If you need a photo just let me know.

(quoted from post at 11:43:42 02/02/15) jason,

Kirk

Yes. That was the main measurement that I needed. I can figure the rest of them up. Thank you.
