JD walking plow "sulky conversion kit"

[near horse]

One of my buddies has a JD riding plow that he and others swear is actually a walking plow with a JD produced conversion kit to make it into a riding machine.  I’ve never ever heard of this before but will be using this plow this coming weekend.  I’ll see if I can get some pics.  Anyway ever hear of such a thing?

hey geoff,

found a picture of a p.&o. walking plow with a conversion kit attached. two wheels with adjustable levers and a seat. still had the wooden handles in the rear. also, a set of small adjustable wheels for the front of a walking plow, the disadvantage being you couldn’t lay the plow over. you had to pick the point up and carry it to the ground.

nothing around here like that.

This thing looks like a full-blown sulky minus a tongue and the necessary changes needed to make it work w/o a tongue.  I’ll post a pic soon.

let us know how you like the plow, and see if you can “see” a walking plow in there somewhere. thanks geoff. oh, i found a couple walking gang plows too. just a gang without a seat to me.
