I rescued an old JD 2 botton plow from the edge of my woods today. It's a pull behind with steel spooked wheels. The rims on the wheels are very thin. It has John Deere on the brackets for the discs and on a brace between the two main frame beems.
Where would I find the model number. It's in real good shape except for the rust and I plan on using it this spring.
Thanks for any help. Charlie

CH, The plow that used the beams #516 and 515 is a number 40 plow. It is a light weight plow made for the Fordson and other small tractors of the time (starting in 1918 and continuing through 1927 when it was replaced by the 40C which wasn't much different, AND still used the same beam bumbers. The 40C was discontinued in 1934. As you may have noticed, the beams are riveted into an assembly which was the only way John Deere furnished them as a replacement part. On the side of the beam you may be able to make out the words "Beams Guaranteed not to bend or break". Bob

Thanks Bob and all others who responded. It's nice to know I've got an old piece of history.

Just checked the beam numbers again. One is definatly 515 and the other looks like 516. It has molded beams and 24" wheels.
To help with the cultivater color question below, it looks like the beams were red and the shovels green.

Hate to make this more complicated but I just froze my fingers off wire brushing the numbers on the beams. The best I can make out is 515 and 516. The wheels are 24".
This doesn't seem to fit the list.
I'll take another look tomarrow when it's light but I think I'll find the same.
Got my curiosity going now, hope I can sleep.

Look on top of the beams. Are there any numbers? If so, click the link. Check the number to the list. It will tell you the model number of the plow.

Charlie, I don't think you'll find a model number on the plow. If it is a model 52, the beams are stamped on top directly above the bottoms (beam numbers 610 and 611 up to 1934 and 612 and 613 for 1934 and later). The model 44 has different style beams but I'm not sure if the part number is stamped in them or not. If you can find some part numbers it will help identify it as JD mad many on steel wheels.

Thanks al. There are numbers stamped in the tops of the beams. Couldn't read them without wirebrushing them and it started getting cold again. Was 40 degrees this afternoon and it's supposed to drop to zero tonight. I'll get back when I find the numbers. Thanks again.
