Help Please

I am trying to identify the model of this plow. I know it is an IH but thats it. I would like to know if I can get a reproduction owners manual or parts for it.

It is complete and is only in need of a small handle piece on the left plow lift lever. Other than that it is complete and all parts move.

With a little oil and heat, I think this would work well in our garden instead of plowing with the tractor.

ed, saw your pictures. couldn’t see the front end of the beams too good. but i think you have a mccormick deering no.1 two way plow. sfj has a set up book. see if the adjustment on the front end of the plow is a circular adjustment with a not right in the center. should have a steel strap bolted on there to adjust up and down. it’s a strange way to adjust. instead of going up-down and side ways, it adjusts in a circular method. good plow, and fairly easy to get points for if thats what you have.

Thanks Mitch, I think you might be right. Also thanks for the tip on the book.

The adjustment you speak of on the end of the beam is for leveling the bottom of the furrow correct? This one has several notches in it and rotates the beam in a circulare motion.

[mitchmaine]

the verticle strap adjusts your depth, and the circular rig adjusts furrow width along with the lever that straightens out the pole. when you set your point, lower the other share as well and that levels out the plow in the ground. also while you are plowing make sure the draft shifts over on the rod connecting the two beam ends to the plow that you are using. when you are using two horses adjust the pole so the plow points to the land taking soil, and with three you point the plow to the plowed ground giving up soil. looks like your points still have some life. i think they called it the success plow. hope you have lots. mitch

Nice plow, Ed…even still has the coulter wheels! Can’t wait to see how you shine that baby up! Let me know if you need some horse power 😀

ed, i like this plow(McD)great, but i had a sulky plow once, and traded it for a 30-30. it was a wiard plow, made in batavia, n.y. i beleive. it was the best plow i ever plowed with, but i didn’t know it at the time. if you ever find one, grab it and give it a go and see what you think. mitch
