JD F125/F130 plow question

steveinohio · Apr 5, 2016

I have a JD 3 bottom, 14 inch integral plow which I'm trying to figure if it is a F125 or F130. It has safety trip bottoms and the rear wheel is painted yellow steel, not rubber. No gauge wheel. I have an OM for a F130 plow and searched JD parts catalog and viewed a F125 and I do not see any difference. The only thing I noticed that the landing level hand is facing "in" whereas I've seen the F125 facing outward. What is the difference between the two? Are there any marking numbers cast in the frame anywhere so I may know? What are the difference between the two? I'll be happy to answer any questions. Any assistance as always appreciated.

The F130 has heavy duty trip standards (1/2 inch thick side plates versus the 7/16 inch thick on standard trips) and was made from 1961-1963. It had a landing lever with a trigger on the end to squeeze and used a small wire rod to connect the trigger to the dog/spring on the ratchet.

The F125 plow was made 1964-up until the late 60's and had a landing lever made from flat steel with a round steel rod connecting down to the ratchet. The F125 also had more clearance between the bottoms on some of the models versus the F120/ F130 series.

Basically check the landing lever and go from there.
