My teenage son picked up this plow recently. It is a JD, still has the remains of the decal on rear frame member. We have found what we think may be the serial number on the front of this same piece, which runs between the two beams at the rear: number is 18434. All other numbers appear to be casting numbers. We have been told it is a '37 or '38 - can anyone provide more difinitive information, year? model? etc.

Drew, Bob, Thanks for your responses. I also posted this on the JD bulletin board and have a new friend over there looking into it too. Bob, I think you are closer - Scraped off enough rust on the beams to find the words "John Deere" followed by the numbers 583 and 623. There are 4 cross pieces. First and second are "u" shaped, third is "Z" shaped, and last one is twisted and curved to bolt between curved parts of beams. Axles are 1 3/4" (actually a bit larger.) Left axle has the number 702 stamped on it. Clutch is completely enclosed and casting bears the number D964A. Wheels are not the same size.(And yes they are in good condition.) Have found a book with picture of a 4A which is a dead ringer for our plow. What are the differences between the A and B models?
Son is going to borrow a digital camera, and we'll try to get some pictures to you shortly. Thanks, Ray

Ray, This is actually a 4B plow. From the picture I can see it is an enclosed clutch which means it was built after 1940. The number you gave is the part number for the rear beam brace for a 14" plow, these plows had no serial number and most older John Deere plows didn't display a model number either. Drew was on the right path with his answer, because the #52 and 4B plows are often confused, the 52 has 3 braces between the beams and the 4B has 4. 4B plows were heavier and have 1 3/4" axles vs 1 1/2 for the 52. Some people go by the fact that the 52 has both wheels the same size but some later 4B plows also used equal size wheels. Looks like yours has good original wheels. BTW the numbers on the beams are 583 and 623, Good luck. Bob

Hello: It looks like a #52.I can't find my manual for the 52 right now. Maybe someone will come along sooner. If you list the numbers on the top of each beam and as many part numbers as possible you might get close. It gets difficult to tell exactly what year because they made the 52 for several years and used parts left over from the previous production.If you want email me those numbers and I will get back to you. Drew s/w WI. Is it an open or enclosed clutch?
