Went to Columbus Nebraska today and got this old Centennial Plow its a 2-12" trip can anyone tell me how it stays hooked up to the tractor ? New project, the wife so happy

you need a twisted clevis on the tractor drawbar

Is that bullet deal on the hub like a Bearing Buddy , Turn it and squeeze grease in the brgs ?

One like it with spoke front wheels and steel rear bought $200 yesterday. Moldboards and lays were good.

Christopher Mikesell · Aug 3, 2013

You just hook the release mechanism over-and-into the twisted clevis. The draft force will keep it in place until you hit a rock that is big enough to overcome the spring pressure and cause it to release.

thanks, plan on a parade or two after restoration.
Did not want it to come loose into a crowd . Seen this guy with a horse and buggy back down the side of a nice restored Ford, those axel nuts do a lot of damage . I gave $250
for this one, are 2-12 plows common?

Case Nutty 1660 · Aug 4, 2013

I have a 2-12 or 2-14 plow like yours where I am at most are bigger plows as for safety you could cut out a steel plate and bolt to drawbar and drill through the plows trip hitch point and install a bolt to keep it from coming out of the plate just an idea
cnt

I have a 2 14" that has not plowed 200 acres in it's life, was barn stored until I bought it five years ago.

sit on the trip rope, if you are right handed put it under your right butt cheek, don't put it in the middle

See photo how I did it.

that looks great ! I can do that

(quoted from post at 04:50:29 08/05/13) that looks great ! I can do that

I would not do that because there is not enough room for the nose of the hitch to pull out should it trip. Go to a swap meet and find a larger twisted clevis.

Mark Lehmer · Aug 5, 2013

yes it has the grease cups , I'm going to clean them out and put fresh grease in them ,I ordered a manual yesterday. thanks Mark

J.WJansen what color paint did you use on your plow?

J.WJansen · Aug 7, 2013

Red Ral 3002
Green mixed to comply with existing green found between dismantled parts, for wheels same procedure.
Does not help you.
Suggest search for Centennial plow in this forum and you will find answers.

Old Abe quotes as follows:
Dark red: Ditzler 73252#Ral 3032
Dark green Ditzler 40249#Ral 6065
Wheels Euclid green Dupont 6980
