My Uncle just found a #44 plow. It has the "knee knocker" hitch I've read about before, but seems to be missing the rope/chain/cable, or whatever it was, that connected the hitch to the clutch lever. So what exactly was it? And how did it attach to the clutch of the tractor? Any one have a picture? Other than that one hitch part and a missing shin, it seems to be a very complete and straight plow. It has the original plow clevis, all the braces on the moldboards, and even the original pin that holds the wheels in the down position for transport. I can't find any welds or bent peices.
I was also wondering the time span this plow was made in. It is hyraulic lift, has a lever for the level adjustment, and has a non-swiviling steel tailwheel. My brief research on the archieves here tells me these features make the plow a late 40's plow. Is that right?
My Uncle said the man he got the plow from remembered looking accross the field and seeing his father rolling on the ground in pain after the clutch had tripped. Funny to think about now but I'm sure it wasn't at the time. Not real sure what we'll do with it but it was much too nice to go for scrap!
