bedrock: Several different Little Genius plows would have used those same beams. George is not quite right, although 90% of them were probably No. 8. there were also numbers 3, 4, 5, 10, 12 and 15. Bear in mind there were also numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 Little Wonder plows. There were numbers 8, 14, 15 and 16 were called only IH Tractor Plows. That covers all trailer plows between 1930 and 1960. There are some noticable differences. Models 3, 4 and 5 were chain lift. the 4 and 5 were orchard models with levers mounted backwards to avoid catching tree limbs. The 10 and 12 were noticable heavier than the N0. 8 and were available with a tandem hitch, and available in 2, 3, 4, and 5 bottom, plus cranks had replaced levers for adjustment. The 15 was a bit of and oddball, as there were Little Genius 15s and 15s not called Little Genius. Both 15s were heavy deep tillage plows. There is also another little kink in this whole plow model subject. There was a No.8 Tractor Plow, built at Hamilton Ontario. It differs from the Little Genius in that it has adjustable frame for various cutting widths. The Little Genius has diagnol cross members whereas the No.8 Tractor Plow has perpendicular cross members between the beams. They also use different lever systems. It almost takes a photo to be 100% certain on IH trailer plows of this era.
