It's a model 812 (probably about 1953 vintage and one of the first of this type of plow made). The rear wheel is not original (it is JD but wasn't used with this axle assembly) as it would have had an 8" wheel bolted together with two rim halves.
The early type trip assemblies were good only for the first 6 months of use because no farmer ever maintained them like they should have (lubricate all pivot points on the trip with oil every 4-8 hrs of use...never happened).
The bottoms and coulters look really nice. Mismatched landsides (front is newer, rear is original type for the vintage). The plow will probably not work with that rear wheel (I've never tried adjusting that type axle assembly with the large rear wheel) as I don't think it has enough adjustment.
If the rear axle can be ajusted to work the first time the rear bottom would trip the landside would wedge itself against the rear wheel and may cause damage.
Overall a nice plow to parade, but the rear axle may need the correct wheel to make it a real user plow.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
