I've got a strange plow

[Kansasken]

I recently acquired what I'd call a "one-bottom two-way" plow and would welcome information about it. It has two seperate beams that each raise and lower and are connected by a cable that connects them and runs through a pulley just below the top link attaching point. It appears that each beam is raised (thereby lowering the other one) by using a handle attached to each beam linkage near the top-link mounting point. It has vestiges of red paint and PO says it once had a Dearborn model plate on it. Does anybody have a model number and maybe even a manual?

I'm a long-time reader of the N discussion board, but this is the first time I've posted. I've already learned a lot and thank all you guys that answer the queries posted.

Probably a Dearborn 10-14.
Hope you got all the brackets and actuator arms with it though some are abvailable aftermarket now.

Ken........from the "book"......For irrigatted fields and sloping land, the 2-way 16"-plow throws the dirt the same direction to eliminate dead furrows. When the plow was lifted, the counter ballanced beams automatically changed position for the return trip.

I have a "Ferguson" tag listing as LP-16-TW.
2-way plow with 16" R & L bases.
But I can NOT find a Detroit model listing.

HTH.......the bottomless Dell

Thanks to Dell, Ultradog, and Jess for your replies. Yes, it is a Dearborn 10-14. Unfortunately, the arms that attach to the tractor to raise and lower each side alternately didn't come with it. It should be somewhat useable even without that. I got some more good information and a copy of the manual from the other N site. Thanks again!
