I have an old JD 2 bottom plow.. any way of telling what model it is?? It had rubber tires in the front but they rotted off and also the main spring mechanisim in the front hitch was replaced with a piece of pipe.. I am trying to restore it now..Thanks in advance..ps. it has a number stamped in each of the main tension beams.. I believe something in the 685 range..not sure though I don't have the numbers in front of me right now...

Lance,

The comment about a spring mechanism on the hitch leads me to think it is possibly a No. 52 plow. Are the beams the forged, curved beams? If so, it's older than a No. 44, which had the "Truss-Frame" design.

There were also 4B and 4C plows, which were a heavier-duty plow than the No. 52. I never saw any of these on rubber, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Stan

I have a 2 bottom plow on rubber. I believe it is a NO.14. The springs are a stone hitch. If you have stoney ground they are worth their weight in gold.

Could it be a 44?

Hi - Just to throw my hat in - I have a J-D 2 bottom as well that I'd like to identify. It's on steel, has the above-mentioned spring hitch. The right wheel is spoked, the left looks like a big bottle cap. It has forged beams - any help ? If so, could you tell me, is the correct paint everything green with the 3 wheels yellow, or was part of the tail-wheel mechanism also yellow ?Anyone has a photo, would appreciate finding it in my e-mail. Thanks, guys !

Be sure to look at Stan's comments above. I'm no plow expert. I only know about 44's because I have two of them in my barn (one to be restored, and one to supply parts) and had to identify them myself.

The 44 came in four flavors: 44, 44A, 44H, and 44AH. The 'A' (or lack thereof) indicated whether the rear wheel was on a fixed mounting or mounted on bails which gave it some movement. The 'H' (or lack thereof) indicated whether the lift mechanism was hydraulic or manual.

Any of these models could be purchased on all steel, all rubber, or front rubber with rear steel. Mine both happen to be front rubber and rear steel.

Your comment about the "spring in the hitch" was what prompted my guess. Deere did modify the hitch as time went by, and not all the hitches are the same (mine are different).

Deere still prints the owner's manual and parts manual for this plow as well. They can be purchased by calling 1-800-522-7448.

If I can be of any further help, or if you'd like some additional pictures, please contact me via e-mail.
