My wife bought me a very nice #44H plow for Christmas. It is very complete it even has the jointers with it. I am going to restore it but I don't know what color the back sides of the bottoms are supposed to be. I have seen some black, and some green. If you were going to do a showroom restoration which color should they be? I don't have any color pictures in any of my literature to show which color to use. Also what color should the jointers be?

Thanks..... Mark

Dave,

I don't want to disagree with Mike Aylward, but I just saw a jointer frame (the round, about 1" diameter piece) on ebay and it was (or used to be) green.

An old brochure I have shows both the jointer and coulter "frames" to be green. It also shows the backside of the moldboards to be green on all the various Truss-Frame plows. It does not show any decals that I could see on the moldboards, but advertising is not always accurate, is it?

I have a 44H with the orgional decals on the back of the bottoms and they are green, so I guess they are green.

Dave, it is my understanding that the back of the bottoms was not painted black until the 4-bolt high speed bottoms came out somewhere around 1957. If your plow has the conventional bottoms it no doubt was green and also if it perhaps has 3-bolt HS bottoms, which if it has HS bottoms it likely would be. The 3-bolt bottoms were used on lighter duty plows such as yours if it indeed has that style of bottom. Hope this helps. Mike

I have a 3 x 14" 55 with high speed bottoms. 3 bolt shares. Back of moldboards are green with silk screened(?) yellow print. Plow is 90 mi away, no jointer but I think coulters were originally black.

Ralph, I may be wrong here, but I believe the coulter frames might have been black but I am thinking the coulters themselves were painted with a blue lacquer in that era. Someone else may have better information. Mike

I'm sure you are right. There is a set of disks for the 200 cultivator in the garage that also had the blue lacquer on them.. Dad bought a set for use on a rented farm ('40's) that had quack grass so thick that it would plug the cultivator.
