Need Some help to ID a plow

4435 · Dec 5, 2012

Found this plow at a neighbors farm. Will sell it for the right money. I wonder if you can still find shares for it. It has ex16 on the moldboards.
It looks similar to RJ keiths plow with one more bottom.

Thanks Tom

It is an MTA, I have a MRA, which is a little lighter.

Those are EX16 bottoms. Both shares and shins are still available for them after-market.

It's definitely an MT, but I don't think is an "A" or later series. The later models weren't offered in a 4 bottom, and the green paint would suggest and early model.

I think it's a MT46

It is an MT model. The MTA series were 2/3B plows. There is a missing part on the draft bar. (lead control adjuster). There were 3 versions of this control. A notched lever you could adjust for plowing on hilly land, a semi ridgid link like you have , and a bracket with two lead screws for tractors with swinging draft arms. You can simply cut a peice of 3/8" plate out that is big enough to slip over the draft bar and weld a threaded rod to it to go through the ancor bracket on the beam, behind the bar. (see the pic. of ours)
That plow is also a shear bolt version, which would have been a twisted mess here within the first hr. of use, or blown up with dynamite, by the owner.

PS I sure wish I had that rolling landside for our plow, (ours just has the long landside and heal. You might want to change the date on your camera also LOL

About the only thing we plow here in SE Kansas are terraces. I have some snaky ones' with some right angle turns. Will this make the turn? Hence few rocks to contend with. But a spring or hydraulic reset would be awesome. My JTA turns pretty nice but you can't get back to the fence line.
The lever set up on yours is very nice. Although you cannot see it, the right side of the draft bar pivot slot has been torched out to allow greater pivoting.

I missed the shear bolt shanks. By definition, shouldn't an MT have trip shanks. Someone must have swapped out the shanks?? - Joe

4435,
The setup I have will never work for you. Perhaps that is why the part is missing. There is still some debate left as th the prefix of this plow, but the last two didgits are 46, but first two might be MS??? There is a posability that the cast spring holders are all broken off, and don't show. Could you post a pic from the rear showing the top of the beams, if it is not a shearbolt shank plow. I'm not quite sure.

Would be interested in the plow if you choose to get rid of it.
