What have I got here?

[Steve Suesens]

Found this for sale and thought it would be a nice addition to my Ferguson TO-30 restoration project. Can anyone help me identify the year and size? Would this be a good match for my TO-30?

Dearborn Farm Equipment

Thank you

Looks like a nice solid 2 bottom plow. Now that I've had my smart moment, you can find the width wit a tape measure. Just measure the width between the beams. Measure from one beam to same side on other beam. Should be 12", 14" or possibly 16".

Well it would be a good match to use if it is a 2/14" plow and maybe a 2/16" in different areas but to be correct Dearborn Equipment was Manufactured and sold by Ford Tractor works not Ferguson. Our 7'Sickle Mower,3pt.hitch model and 2/14" 3pt. hitch plow were labeled Dearborn and were bought from our Ford Tractor Dealer back in the early 1950's.Other wise I would clean it up and paint it and go plowing and not look back,have fun.JH

Dearborn and missing a lot of parts and setting in the dirt can't tell what share it has on it, if the old blacksmith sharpen share almost impossible to find and if you do find them they are expencive @ around $150 each. If the blade type (econemy bottom) shares are easy to get. The coulters would cost more than the plow is worth to buy.
