25 years ago, I drug this plow out of a falling down old barn on a neighbor's place. We played with it a lot when we were kids - I remember hitching it up to the back of the lawn tractor and cutting a furrow across the lawn. Mom was not impressed! I always thought it was so cool to hold onto the same handle that some man had worn down 80-ish years ago, and think about what he went through breaking some of the forested hills in SW Wisconsin.
Anyway, It's been sitting in a corner of our shed for 20 years now and I just thought about it the other day. I dug it out today - I was curious if someone might be able to figure out who made it and what era it's from? I've attached some pictures - the only stamping I could find was one that says "SB13" and the other says "JS". I've not torn it down at all - so maybe there is something else hidden somewhere too.
There is also some of the original paint on one of the bolts. It's green, but more emerald green than what I'd associate with Deere today. It sort of looks like some of the Oliver walking plows I've seen. It appears Oliver did make a 13 SB, but I've yet to find a picture.
Anyway, I'm thinking about making this a winter project of sorts and if I could figure out what it was - I'd try to clean it up a bit and possibly restore it. It was someone's pride and joy at one point, and I'd like to honor that memory - even though I don't have a clue who he was. But I don't want to screw it up if it is a rare plow, so I was hoping to see if there were any experts on here...
Thanks for any help!
