David Bradley 3 Bottom

[KK560]

Did David Bradley make these themselves or did some other manufacturer make them? What were the models? Can you still get parts for them somewhere or are they interchangeable with another brand?

We need a description of the plow. too many models to answer your question. 3 point or a pull type, Blacksmith sharpen type of share? or throw away type. Different factories over the years. One mower they had was same as a Ferguson. The hay rake uses same parts in wheels as a Oliver Horse drawn mower. others their own design. Think might have used Oliver bottoms on the mounted plow. Not on pull type plow. I had a David Bradley horse drawn mower, hay rake, 2 botton pull typt hydrolic cylinder lift plow and cordwood buzz saw.

It's a pull type. How do you tell the difference in the blacksmith and throw away shares?

My father had this plow (without the backbone pipe) behind a MM U from 47-53. Shares went to local blacksmith for pounding sharp.Trying to remember the stone hitch setup as the MM hydraulic didn't have quick couplers. Was replaced by a WD Allis with a 3-14 mounted 1n 54 that tripped the hand clutch as stone protection. Also had shares to sharpen.

Those are blacksmith sharpen with forge heat and anvile and hammer. Throw away are a flat blade used on everything for last 40 years.
