Dearborn 2 Bottom Plow Identification

[Anonymous-0]

Could someone please tell me the difference in a
model# 10-156 & a model# 10-158 2 bottom
I have a 10-156 that I got with my 51 8N last year & it does'nt have colters just the trailing roller or landscape? I think.. & I've just seen pics of a 10-158 that has all 3 of the wheels. Did mine have these originally?
Thanks
DonO.

Don........according to my copy of Ford Implements moldboard plow specs;

10-156 "Economy Plow", 14-inch, two bottom includes 14-inch frame (10-181) 14-inch economy bottoms (10-166 & 10-167) rolling landside (included with frame) (103000) less coulters and jointers (1950-1953)

The "Economy" moldboard plow has a replaceable "shin" (leading edge) and is a "modified" general purpose type. For use in the great majority of soils and conditions. An exceptionally good covering, pulverizing and scouring bottom.

10-158 "Standard Plow", 14-inch, two bottom includes 14-inch frame (10-181) 14-inch general purpose bottoms (10-36 & 10-37) rolling landside (included with frame) (103000) less coulters and jointers (1950-1953)

The "Standard" moldboard plow does NOT have a replaceable "shin". It is a "general purpose" plow with slow turning moldboard. Favorable draft at higher speeds. Used for heavy conditions such as old bluegrass pastures and tame sod in good rotations.

Dell.... thanks for the fast & through reply
so mine is a economy plow, I thought from what I had managed to see in bits & pieces it was.Had never used one until this season & I was really impressed both with the plow but the 8N and the working of the draft & the governor on that little engine. If you really wonder how its working just hook a 2 bottom behind & put it in some Ga Red Clay. Mine is badly worn but am rebuilding it for next season & am looking forward to trying it in good shape.
Thanks again have read a lot of your advise and have both learned & enjoyed the knowledge you & all the other regulars share with us

Nice rig Arthur, I wish,but mine don't have the coulters & don't look as long,but that might be because of the extras I don't have. Is this a
10-156 or 158?
Wish I had pics mines dis-assembled right now
Thanks for the reply
Dono.
