I think I am rememembering this correctly...a plow my dad pulled behind his M worked as follows...when he wanted it to drop down into the plowing position, he pulled a rope. At the end of the row, he would back up, which would raise the plow up. Am I rememebering wrong or was there a plow that worked this way. If so, a brand/model/type would he appreciated.

Thanks

Maybe I am remembering a combination of both! I would almost swear I can remember looking at the inboard wheel area and trying to figure out how it "locked" in reverse, which would make the three rubber tired wheels (one each side in the front, and one, center, in the rear), "lift" the plow out of the ground?!? That was back in the early 70's, havn't thought much about it until recently.
Thanks for the info...

Maybe you're remembering a drag type disk? IH made some that worked as you describe..... ..except to put it into the ground, i.e. put the angle into the gangs, you held onto the rope until you got the correct angle. Used to be a big problem for me..... had to pull myself forward with both hands on the steering wheel so I could reach the clutch; then reach back and hold onto rope while feathering the clutch a little. If you ever let the tractor roll back when you stopped, you had to do it all over again; big deal for an 8 or 9 year old..... .

You are probably remembering the IH Little Genius #8. You did pull a rope to drop it into the ground, but you also pulled the rope to lift it out of the ground. You did not have to stop and back up. All of the plows from that era were rope trip, no matter what company made them.

Tumble plows worked the same way only with two ropes.

First one lifted and dropped the plow in and outta the ground, the second rope tripped the 'tumble mechanism' while you made your figure 8 turn.
