What Make Of Plow Is This

I just picked this plow up and the owner didn't not have any idea either. He said that his dad had is long as he can remember. Anybody have an idea!

If the paint is "original", the blue colour indicates to me that it is a Ford manufacvtured plough.

There's a pretty good probability that it's a Ferguson Sherman although the cross stalk doesn't look quite correct... and Ferguson generally didn't use laminated standards... at least not on what I'm familiar with. Otherwise, the basic shape and geometry looks very much like a late 40's early 50's Ferguson Sherman.

Looks like the one my father in law pulled behind his mickey mouse dorF. Been 50 years though so it is just a guess.

This is just a SWAG, but my guess is that it is an aftermarket plow. Someone mentioned the laminated beams, which I don't remember ever seeing on a name brand plow, all I have ever seen had cast beams. JMHO.

My guess would be a burch,they used that color back then.

Thats an interesting one, unique in that nothing on it looks familiar except the shares, which look more common on Dearborn or similar era 2 bottom plows, so maybe the "standard" or "frog" is of a specific manufacture, common to those era wear parts, similar to the short line manufactured plows today, like TSC has, or say the Leinbach Line, which has Ford type bottoms, and takes Ford (possibly made originally by Oliver/Pittsburgh Plow) wear parts.

Unless its an older Ferguson, the construction or materials of it looks like nothing I have seen or am aware of, being a bit of a implement connoisseur. Could be totally wrong, but it is different, shares look like they are in nice shape, and I assume they call that a "deep suck" share or the ones that a blacksmith would repair, as opposed to later throw away types ?

Hopefully someone can ID it or, maybe there were so many manufacturers out there, some obscure models like this are still around. Non trip back, but in clean soils, looks ready to go.

It's definately not a Ferguson plow although it is patterned to look like one.

Try removing one of the plow shares,Sometimes you will find a manufactures name and part number on the back of a share or moldboard.This looks like an aerly dearborn plow.

Oliver and Coop-Cockshutt had beams made like that.

GaryinKs · Mar 12, 2014

Could it be a Sears?

Are there any casting numbers or letters on the hubs of the coulters?
