These are nearby and have been sitting for a long time. Had my eye on them ever since I got my 1550. Can't find a number, is this one that can be set up to 14 or 16 inch and 3 or 4? Is it worth going after? The disc, too?

Sorry, I can't tell you the number of the plow, but I have a 4 bottom just like it set on 18" cut. I can tell you it is a later plow, the earlier one were a smaller beam. Chris
 
I'm sure it's Oliver, just trying to find out what model. I remember seeing an Oliver working there. The current manager told me it was a 1750, and wished it was still there.
 
The plow is an Oliver 546 and I don't think it can be switched from 16" to 14" or switched to 3 bottom without a lot of work. The plow is worth $300 to $600 if the points and moldboards are good. Maybe alittle more. The disc is I think a 254? maybe I am not sure but its the same as the Oliver disc for sure and worth $450 to $850, Smaller disc will bring more but its hard to tell. Bandit
 
It is an adjustable cutting width plow. It is set on the wider width as it sets now. You loosen the bolts on the top of the main beam, removing the front bolt. You then turn the whole bottom assembly a little and put the removed bolt in the forward hole to get a narrower cut. I don't know if it's a 14"-16" cut or a 16"-18" cut.I think this was the next plow after the 565-566 series plows.
 
Thanks Larry, that's kind of what I thought looking at it. When set to smaller cut doesn't the whole beam have to move to the left to keep them in line? I also looks like the hitch can move side to side. I would like to pick up a plow to reseed my hay. You think this one is worth the work? I'll get back there and measure it and try to find a number. If it's a 16-18 it would be too much for my 1550.
 
saw a guy plowing at a plow day 10-15 years ago with a 1600 and a 4 bottom plow with the front bottom removed making a 3 bottom.
the plow shifted over a little and the tractor wheel in instead of out. plowed nice and straight pulled great
I would grab that plow and disk if you can get them cheap.
then drop the front bottom off of the plow and line the plow and tractor up
then go to it and have fun
good luck

The early versions of the 565 semi mount plows dropped the first bottom off to make a 3 bottom. Later they made a true 565 3 bottom semi mount plow, which I think are pretty hard to find and are usually pretty pricey. Sure would like to find one.
 
Did some online searching and it's definitely a 546. The square plate on the front of the backbone and the top link hitch point are the giveaways. I'm going to go look at it again although technically it would be trespassing.
 
That plow is currently set at it's widest width. Measure from a spot on one beam to the same spot on the next beam. You will have to use a straight edge so you can measure perpendicular to the direction of travel. This will give you the current width of cut. The narrower "cut" will be 2" less. The disk is a 251 as it has the narrower frame.
 
Thanks, Jon. Does front end of the backbone swing to the left when it's set to the smaller cut? There is an extra hole in the horizontal bar. Can it be changed to a 3 bottom?
 
Can it be changed over to a 3 bottom, Yes, with a lot of work! How good of a welder are you?? You would have to cut the main beam off behind the 3rd bottom and weld the rear plate back on, then shorten the lift and steering pipes. Chris
 
To change that to the narrower cut, first park it on a level concrete surface. If I remember right, the front one of the four bolts that hold the bottom on has to be removed. The other three bolts need to be loose to allow each bottom to pivot. You also need to unbolt the framework on the left side. As you turn each "bottom assembly", you actually move that long arm attached to the front of the bottom. After all the bottoms are moved, you reassemble the subframe you took off earlier.
To shorten that plow, you would have to cut off the main beam and adjust the steering rod. If you decide to readjust that plow, make sure you eat your Wheaties. If you can get a manual, that will tell you how to adjust that hitch. You will ruin most of a day doing that job.
