Gentlemen, I bought and old 2 bottom Case plow this weekend for $100. I have no idea what I have here or how to operate it. Can you guys give me some idea how to go about identifying this plow? What I can tell you is that it is on steel wheels with the left wheel being larger than the right.
It is a pull type. It has a funny looking hitch on it that the guy I bought it from says drops into a clevis attached to the tractor draw bar. It has Case stamped on the top of the main frame members but I cannot find any numbers. The left wheel assembly has some kind of gear box looking thing on it. It has 2 lever arms that extend forward for raising the plow shares. What else can I tell you that will help identify this thing?
If I can this thing identified maybe I can find a manual somewhere that tells me how to maintain and use this thing. Thanks,
Steve

That funny looking gear box on the larger left wheel is a clutch that trips a gog that will let that wheel lift the plow out of the ground or drop the plow to but it in the ground. The levers just set the depth and the right lever levels the plow doe doe a good job plowing.

I have a Case steel wheeled 3 14 converted to 2 14. The (funny looking hitch) you have is made to trip and the finger pointing down will point straight forward and letm the tractor go on without it if it hits an obstriction that stops the plow and thretens to distruct it. The Box on the trip wheel or land wheel side is indeed for bringing the plow out of the ground. Te levers above are for adjustiong the shares by adjusting the wheels on each side. When you make your first furrow in a firld, the lever in thefurrow wheel needs to be sit higher than on any of the proceeding rounds. Same with the other lever, but not quite as much. You need to put a 1/2in rope 8ft long atached to the trip lever near the gear box. It will be a rod around 16in long attached near the land wheel. Make the rope loose enough to the tractor that it does not trip the plow if you go over a hump, dam, ect, but not so loose that it hooks on the rear wheel cleats when you turn corners . Fasten it loosly to the tractor so that in case the plow becomses unhitched the rope will disengage without tearing off the trip lever. A little piece of bailing wire to lghtly tie it to the trctor should do. The plow should hook up to th center of the tractor drawbar attached with a twisted clvis. The inside of the rear furrw wheel on the tractor shouyld line up with the inside of the furrow wheel when they are in a straight line. If not adfjust the linkage on the plow drawbar. Grease each part till you start to see grease coe out. Give theTrip Gear box itself no more than 10 pumps per year. It is a sealed unit unlike the rest. If you grease it too much it will develope a tendancy to come out then go back ion the ground at the ends of the fields. If it does this, It will drive you crazy. NEVER leave th plow tripped and turn a corner, thiss will warp the plow beams over time, and it hurts the wheel bearings. The plow bems are rthose big fishookthings that has case wrote on them, Good luck Bill

As ou ask about the possinle age of your plow, I can tell you that after 35 and fort at least 10 yrs afterward they were called the Centinnial plow. Now, of course, yours being steel wheeled likemine we cant say but that yours was made in the 20s, or the teens. I know mine was a Centinnial as it was bought at the same time he tractor and cultivators was bought, or near enough to it. And it is a 1934 CC Case. Sorry to be so vague
