2 Bottom Ford - What to Offer?

Tall T · Feb 25, 2015

Here's a two bottom fairly close to me.
Is this a good version of what's been suggested would suit the Jube?

I guess it would depend on what part of the country you're at, but in my neck of the woods the demand for a little plow of this nature would be low to non existent. I would say it would be worth scrap price plus a few bucks here in southern Id.

From my personal experience any time I find a plow that still has the culters it has not been used much...

From what I can see it looks great goferit...

Plows hit a road block around here once they hit $300 folks determine they don't need one... Up to that price they sell good there are allot of hobby farmers around...

I don't see a tail wheel. Possibly hidden behind the rear share?

steve19438 · Feb 25, 2015

thanks.

Thot one looks to be complete, and it is a later model Ford plow.

Wear condition is not possible to determine from the photos but most wear parts are still available for this model.

It would bring $400+ in my area.

Nice Ford 101 plow. As said, wear parts are still readily available. Hard to tell but looks like 2-14". Just right for your Jube.
Here if the tail wheel is there and shares decent it would bring $350 easy here.
To measure a plow you go from the center of one beam to the center of the other.

Ultradog MN · Feb 25, 2015

If you look close you can see the tail wheel is there. I missed that at first.

Tall T · Feb 25, 2015

Right on!
A ford 101 Trip Plow, what do ya know.
Much obliged everyone!

Jerry,
Thanks for that measurement procedure.
I remember you saying to look for two 14's and I [i:b6403bb4d9]thought[/i:b6403bb4d9]
this looked like the right idea, plus the trip factor. Glad you spotted the wheel.

On the board in the foreground I wondered if the share had come a little unglued from the board. (?)

Hobo,
Great that it hasn't been used much.

Steve,
I'm guessing that your browser opens to a google search page
and you are pasting into a Google search "field".
Mine is set to open to a blank page and my HOME page button brings up my search page. But even so, if you paste a URL into the "address bar" or "field" at the top of any browser page, displacing whatever is there it should work.

Now to see if it is still available.

Thanks,
Terry

Kirk-NJ · Feb 25, 2015

If you get it and want the manual just email me and
I'll send you the link for a free download.

Tall T · Feb 25, 2015

Thanks Kirk!
Will do.

Thanks for the $300 ballpark suggestion as well.

Terry

Tall T · Feb 25, 2015

Well it was available YESTERDAY.

Dean · Feb 25, 2015

It would have sold quickly in my area at $$400 or so.

Tall T · Feb 25, 2015

Well at least now after all the right stuff from this thread, I'll know better when ta hold 'em, when ta fold 'em and when to CALL.

thanks,
Terry

Doctor Rick · Feb 26, 2015

No disrespect, but I thought the 14" or 16" , etc, measurement was based on the depth of the moldboard and share and not on the width of moldboard spacing. At least that's what I found when I did my on line research.
Rick

Tall T · Feb 26, 2015

That's what I thought too Doc and even typed that as an answer to Greywolf . . . but I was only guessing, based my limited knowledge of attachment pieces of various implements often being adjustable width-wise anyway.

Maybe according to the frame of this ford plow, 14" is the max width for the bottom placement. I'll have to look again as to if they can be adjusted closer together.

Moldboard plus share would be a lot more than 14" from top to bottom wouldn't it? ::

See here . . . Not adjustable!
Man I'm sorry I missed this one!

Mark in Upstate · Feb 27, 2015

No disrespect either, a mold board plow has never been measured by the depth it will dig. only by width

Tall T · Feb 27, 2015

Mark,
By "width" you mean the distance between bottoms as UD pointed out, right?

Geo-TH,In · Feb 27, 2015

I bought a dearborn 2 bottom. Everything thing
there, in perfect shape, new paint, new shears too.
$300 delivered. I will never use it. I will never
sell it either. It looks too nice in the center of
a raised flower bed. I call it yard art. I smile
when I look at it, reminds me when I was a kid
plowing.

Doctor Rick · Feb 27, 2015

So, I will admit to being thoroughly confused.

So far I have read that the 12, 14 or 16" nomenclature refers to:

The depth of the plow (top of moldboard to bottom of share at the narrowest point)
The width of the furrows
The width between plow moldboards
The length of the shares

Forgive me if I don't believe anything for awhile until I find some kind of original source. When I find something I will bring it back.

Confusedly Yours,
Rick

Doctor Rick · Feb 27, 2015

This should keep us busy for awhile.

I am going along with the width of the furrow for now. Thanks guys. Now if I can find that spot on the interwebz where it showed measured depth I will re read it. I guess you can say anything on the net without any accountability. We can all be anonymous idiots. Not sure that's progress.

Sounds like you need to update your flash, java, and/or browser. All modern browsers have the ability to copy the link, right click and select 'go to web address'. If yours doesn't then you've got some updatin' ta do!
