Bryce Frazier 40 plow

Will try and post a picture of the hitch on my dads old 40 plow. The 4 pcs. of steel slid together, there was a hole through them. He would cut up old chair rungs and drive them through to make the break-away. Pulled it with a 39 J.D. B, only tractor he ever had. Pulled it in 2nd., low range. It would still usually break a point if you hit a stone. If you use it also make sure the rope for the lift will also break loose.

Forgot to mention, he set the wheels in, then moved the drawbar all the way to the right. Ran the rear wheel of the tractor in the furrow.
 
Awesome plan! I might have to try to rig something like that up... Also good to know that you can pull it with a B... Thanks again! Bryce
 
The factory term for that style is pin break hitch. They had not yet designed a safty realease hitch of any other kind. But it was still avaible as option on some plows up theu the 40's. By varying the type of wood used in the pin it would make it shear and break easier or harder for depending on what conditions you had.
 
That is why I was saying about the wheel track and that is one way to do it but it will want to pull the front of the tractor to the right more than if you could hook in centerline of tractor and adjust a cross bar on plow front. The Hitch Oliver used on all the earlier pull type plows you had to do that with and it was a pain to get them to pull corectly.
