I hope this is a JD plow but I have my serious doubts? Looking to possibly purchasing it but I have no idea if it is a JD or not.
Thanks

Yes, it is a JD model 44 plow. It has the ground driven clutch to raise the bottoms, operated by the rope, so it could be used on tractors without hydraulics. Looks good, too.

With decent coulters AND Jointers no less!
Wish I knew how many miles I've pulled one like it behind my '46 longhood A!
Since you didn't know it's make & model you may not know they came in different sizes. I'm no expert but am fairly sure they had 3 sizes. One for 10 or 12 inch, one for 12 or 14 inch & one for 14 or 16 inch bottoms. The "standards" (part the frog bolts to) were offset one right the other left and as such the spacing between the bottoms could be changed by two inches just by moving the front standard to the rear & the rear to the front. This one looks like it may be the 14/16 model by comparing the distance between the main beams to the length of the hitch cross bar.
A nice plow that you could easily back up with because when raised it followed on only the two front wheels with the tail wheel well off the ground. They also had a tendency to easily unhitch when crossing ditches too quickly! Was a bit hard to tell how slow was slow enough until you heard that familiar snap/clang and knew that wasn't slow enough! Been there many times! Hee hee.
Hope that's helpful!

Moldboard Extensions were very common and helped lay the Furrow slice over nicely when plowing slowly and at field ends..
A nice addition..
Jointers are always a nice Original and do a nice job (if adjusted properly) of turning trash down..
Nice looking plow you have found...
REMEMBER...NEVER let it get Rusty...KEEP it smeared with Grease or a coat of Oil, with a coat of cheap Enamel Paint..!!

Well, I made the commitment to buy it and will go pick it up on Sat. I saw the JD mark on the hitch and could see green paint under the awful red. Did this not have Shins? I couldn't tell that there were any. Both rims looked pretty solid so that is good. This will probably be next summer project. I will dowse it with used motor oil and cover it up for the winter and get a good start on it in the spring. Still have tons to do on my daughter's 49B first.
