Hi, What are the differences between these plows. I always thought I had a Little Genius and after looking at the picture section in here I notice there is a "Little Wonder" that looks alot like mine. BTW, I have a 3 pt. on steel with 2 different style coulters on it, one is a serrated type that doesn't move more than a 1/2" (maybe it's rusted) and the round one is free wheeling. Can somebody give a ballpark on what these sell for, I'm thinking of getting rid of this thing as I use it strictly for "yard art" and figure there must be somebody around looking for one. Any offers? Thanks guys, Rich

Rich, If you post the part #s off the first beam, I will cross check the part # for a #8 Little Genius.If it is a little Genius I would be interested in the points if they are good, maybe the whole plowTim

I never even thought of it until now. I bought a manual for this on ebay a couple years ago. Can't remember where I put it now. Anyway, the #'s are this, 1st beam PO17184, 2nd is PO12572. Rich

Rich, Those#s are the #s for the first 2 beams on a #8 Little Genius . Both coulters should turn whether serrated or not.Probably just rusted up inside.
Prices on the plow vary widely. I see them advertised in working condition from $150. to $250. and have seen them bring $5.00 at an auction.I have a Little Genius and a older Wonder, both are good plows.Tim

What are the differences between them? They look identical to me. Is one a little smaller than th other? This thing makes for great ballast on those snowy days!! A little rough slidin' 'er in 'n outta the ol' 1/2 ton though. HAHA Ripped my tailgate in two when I come-alonged it into the truck for the ride home. I guess it didn't want to go with me, but we've got it all painted up pretty now. Rich

If you look in the photo section under (#2 Little Wonder 2 bottom plow), you'll see what I mean. I might be interested in a trade for something different, my yard is getting smaller all the time. Maybe a 1 bottom plow or an aermotor #602 windmill vanes, (I've got the head and tower), or (I'll press my luck), an AC 720 with an engine problem???.

Rich, the differences I see are; a different front hitch; The loaded spring assembly to assist in raising and lowering levers;rear crazy wheel control and adjustment and maybe slightly lighter materials. Incidently,most of the Little Genius part #s start with PO which goes back to the old Parlin & Orendorff plow that was bought out by McCormick-Deering,(later, IH).
