John Deere Plow Model?

[Tyler Slagle]

I have a John Deere plow that I have restored and I am trying find out what model it is. Its a two bottom all on steel. There is a casting number on the right beam which is 515 and the left beam is 546. There is also a piece of cast iron that connects the two beams together in the back that has John Deere stamped into it. Then right underneath John Deere there is a number which is 15833. If there is anyone out there that could help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks Tyler

I don't see #546 listed. Could the second # be 516? Beam# 515 and beam# 516 belong to a #40 plow. They were built from 1918-1927. John Deere built this plow for Henry Ford and his Fordson Tractor.

Well there is a #546 beam, but it is a 3rd beam for a #23 stag gang export plow so that rules that one out. I think maark is right about it being 516 instead of 546, sometimes those old numbers are not clear, and the 15833 is a part number for the rear beam brace for the #40 plow.
