What Plow Do I Have? 362?

I just bought this plow and cannot read the tag. I found a picture of a manual for a 361/362 and it looks close. Are parts available for this model?

Sold a bunch of the 361 plows the first year they were out. I never saw one with the adjusting lever. What parts do you need? Coulters moleboards, shins & points will be common. Make sure the trip assemblies work.

Here is a pic of my 360. Still has a legible tag.

I copied these pictures from a manual. It shows a 361 and 362. It looks like the biggest difference is the adjusting lever. I was not sure if Oliver had another plow that looked close to these. I plan to completely disassembly, sand blast, and paint. I want to disassemble the trip mechanisms and make sure they work right too. All the moleboards are cracked parallel with the shins, right thru the bolt hole. It also needs 2 points and decals. It has a mix of coulters too.

This is a picture of my 361 plow. No tail wheel on this one. Both have adjusting levers.

Looks like the difference here is mine has the spring trips at the top of each furrow bottoms, like the plow in the background.

looks a lot like the 361 in AB's photo to me.

In the early fall of 1962 they sent me to Columbus to pick up an 1800 A series diesel that was to be used by some people from South Bend on a new model mounted plow. It was a 365. We did not sell it and it went back to Columbus some time later. I thought it was called a model 365 plow. We also sold very few cushin trip plows. Also instead of that lever ther was "J bolt" that took its place we would stock them as they would break from time to time. We also had a few broken hitch bars. When the 565 came out the sales of mounted plows was done for us.

Here's a pic of the model 365 from a manual.

Which Columbus did you pick up the 1800? Ohio, Indiana? If Indiana, you were about 15 miles from my home.

Hi, I do have a used operating, setting up, and
parts book for a 365 if that is what it is.
