I bought a Ford 3 x 16, 3 point plow yesterday at an auction. It is in pretty decent shape as well! 3 piece bottoms. It is a Ford "FMD" Plow according to this picture, of which Tim Daley was kind enough to post on the Ford Board for me. I wanted this plow so that I could use it behind my Farmall M, and this is the first one I have seen in awhile that had a FACTORY land / depth control wheel. The tire is near new as well! Very pleased with it. It is also Category two, so, hopefully my M won't rip it in half or anything. . . . ;P
ANYWAYS, the only thing missing off the plow is the furrow wheel. Kind of like a metal soup bowl, and about the size of a dinner plate! I looked it over closely today, and I really don't see anything wrong back there, nothing is bent or broke, the wheel is just gone? The question is how similar are these wheels to say a JD or Case pull behind plow? I have two pull behind plows with small, fixed tail wheels like this one should have. Both plows are just for parts. I am wondering if I could get away with swapping a wheel off of one of them onto the Ford plow?
From my recollection, all of those small steel tail wheels are about the same size, and at a 45 degree angle. Anyone see any isues with doing this? Bryce
