I see you have Oliver plows. I was at an auction not to long ago. I saw an Oliver 3 bottom semi-mount plow, spring automatic reset. It looked pretty good, went for $700.00 I wish now that I would have bid on it, but I had already bought a couple of items and was over my allowance. I can't remember the model number. It must have been a late model Oliver plow. What are the model numbers for the SAR plows?

Couple of things: The Model 3242 is a fully mounted plow made in the late 60s, early 70s. Came in 2, 3, or 4 bottoms, and is convertible to whichever you want. Believe in could be 12, 14, or 16". You can put a category I or II hitch bar on it. This was somewhat of an economy model, and works better with fewer bottoms. Does not have much trash clearance.
As I recall in the early 70s semi-mounts, the 546 was a 14" or 16" frame, the 548 was the 16" or 18" frame. They had 6" X 6" box beam backbones. Not sure the low number--4 or 3 bottom--and the high number--at least 6 bottom, maybe up to 7 or 8. Clearance was good, you could plow in fresh cornstalks with the 4-16" I had.

If its a spring auto reset with a 3 bottom backbone it can only be a 508 plow. Other models of SAR didn"t go down to 3 bottom size. Most plows from late 50"s up have 619 bottoms on them, but depending which area of the country you"re in it could have 625 (stubble), or 919 (high speed), the other two mainstream choices. They also made several other bottom styles, but these were more niche market items, like slat bottoms for muck soils etc.

Did Oliver ever make any 3pth 2 bottom plows? I have been looking for one for a LONG time and no luck.

My current plows are a 4340, a 3pth ford 2x14 and a rednecked 3pth 2 bottom disc plow. I would like to get my hands on an Oliver 3 pth 2 bottom plow to do some custom field plots and for my tractor club so I have an implement that matches my 550.

Lot easier to get around with that 2 bottom vs. 3 bottom trailer plow.

PS - 4340 is not for sale, sorry.

Look under Oliver Links on this page and visit the Kaisers Korner website. He has a 2 bottom 3241 plow that is similar to ours.

Hey Shep, we have a 3 pt Oliver with 2-16. I don't remember the model # right now I will see if I can get it later this week. Also saw one that has been restored on one of the websites linked on this site, but I can't remember which one.

Say Shep? You found any more 1850s down there lately? There is one up here (mid-atlanic) missing an engine, but other than that...

Yup!
Seen that one. Was kinda thinking it could do with a motor. I know of a motor sitting in Central FL I have for picking it up.

Right now just ain't got the gumption to go get the tractor and down to central FL to get the motor. Been working 90+ hrs. a week at the day job - systems crashed all over the dam place. I have been earning my stripes I garantee that!!

I can't imagine why not, but I have never seen one myself either. I did see a 3-14 or 16 once that was fully mounted, had cat I pins on it. It was at the same farm that had the 5-16 auto-reset bottoms. It was laying in water so one only knows how good the points were, but from what I could tell, the moldboards and everything else was in good shape.

The 565 was made along with the 566 and 568. I don't know any other numbers for semi-mounted, but there were some earlier ones w/ a pipe frame. The 565 was available as either spring trip or shear bolt, as were almost all of the later Oliver/White plows. I was also looking at a fully automatic reset plow that has a compressed nitrogen? tank on it and a hyd. cylinder on each bottom that when tripped, they would reset automatically, w/ out having to stop and back up. My grandpa bought the 565 to go behind our 1600 brand new. The 546 I picked up this past summer for $300 and a tank of gas. The moldboards and coulters were good, but I replaced all the shares, landslides, and shins. Pretty much all of the parts interchange, so you can put parts from a White 508 plow onto an Oliver 565. I think Ford may have used atleast Oliver bottoms on their backbone. I saw one once w/Oliver/White bottoms and Ford paint & decals

Later Case plows were also made by White/Oliver. Case (orange) not Case/IH. Jim.
