This may sound like a silly question but what type of rope was used for the pull cord on this plow? I am trying to restore this to original condition and in order to do so need to know this fact.

Any Ideas?

Karl

Karl, I'm back, I did some research on your rope question and by the way it is not silly to try to get it right. I measured the rope I have still in the bag with the loop or ring, the rope measures 3/8" diameter, the parts book on one page calls it 15612A rope, 10'. Mine actually measures about 9 1/2 feet but I could maybe stretch the kinks out to 10'. Why so much rope? Well, if your plow has what John Deere called the cushion spring release hitch, one of the optional hitches, part of the rope was attached to the hitch and run up to the master lever, that way when the plow un-hooked after hitting that rock or stump, the operator could lift the hitch from the tractor seat and drop it on the loop attached to the drawbar and be on his way w/o getting off the tractor. In the middle of this rope was a knob(D960A) which gave the operator a grip on the rope because by now his hands were dirty and slippery. 16146A is the part number of the release spring for the seat end of the trip rope. I have a picture in a sales brochure that shows it around the tube that forms the seat back, that's how I use it on my A even though it is hard on the paint. Another JD picture shows the rope looped around the seat back, I think that tractor has the clutch throw out mechanism available for use with the "stiff hitch." Let me know if this helps, I'd like to see a picture of the finished plow. Bob

Karl, I think the number 44 plow used the same trip rope as the earlier 4B plow. I had a couple of these ropes new in the bag from John Deere, it is just a manila(I think) or hemp type rope about 3/8 inch diameter and about 5 feet long. The plow end was tied to a ring on the release lever and the tractor end was secured to the seat in different ways depending on the type of seat. Pan seat tractors used a button through one of the holes in the seat with a spring clip to hold the rope yet release it easily should the plow hit an obstacle and un-hitch. Later tractors with the battery box seat used a similar type of safety release for the rope, I'll have to do a bit of research to tell you the exact style. Maybe someone else will know before I get back to you. Good luck with the 44. Bob
