New to me Case two bottom plow

[montidale]

My brother-in-law gave me a two bottom plow that he didn’t have no use for. Looks to be in pretty good shape. (Disregard the color )I guess I don’t have much use for it neither, but I have a couple of DC’s that should be a good match for that plow. I just didn’t want to see the plow go to the scrap pile. I’m running out of space on my tree line for implements. Anyway I’m kinda wondering how is the plow hitched to a tractor. I’m not familiar with this type of hitch. Do you just set it in an Clevis and hope it don’t jump out? Or is there a part missing? My brother-in-law welded up something that he used but I don’t think it’s right.

I like this style clevis even tho it is JD.
Others will work.

Yep, you just hook it in clevis and go. We made a clevis to slip over the drawbar end so it wouldn't swing side to side when going down the road. Your bil's clevis should work.

A twist clevis is what you want. Your BIL clevis should work but I would think would be prone to more unplanned disconnection with a large vertical surface presented to the hook of the hitch, the round face of the clevis will hold higher and tighter on the hitch hook. And yes the plow can unhook itself in the right circumstances, generally when out of the ground and the plow makes a big bounce the hitch jump out, careful driving is good practice. Also a release clip on where the trip rope attaches to the tractor seat is a good idea. Look up ( Tractor Plow adjustment and operation ) on the internet, this is an extension pamphlet that has very good instructions on tractor plow set up.

Thanks for the responses. I have a few twist clevis around here. I’ll give one of them a try. My in-laws have a gravel pit just down the road that I can take the plow to and polish it up in the gravel. Maybe this fall I’ll give it a try. plowing up the garden.

Twisted plow clevis is getting to be a thing of the past. I can remember when the "Wheelers" store had bins full. Tractor Supply I think had two last I checked. I have grandpa's twisted clevis hanging on the drawbar of my SC. It rides around with me everywhere I go. I'd like to find a plow for it but I have no use for it.
