Wood Beam Plow

[JDfan]

Does anybody know anything about this plow? Thanks

I'm suspicious that it is a 'cobble-together' of various parts and not an original wood beam JD plow.

My Deere walking plow has Deere stamped in the share.

Yeah, the ribbeted on name plate doesn't seem to go with an antique wood beam plow and the malboard looks small also.

What they called a pony plow or peanut plow. I've got a few. None of mine are Deere though. I've got a Vulcan, an Oliver and one with no markings.

Thank you for the information. Do you have any idea of about when they were made?

I have one from J I Case. It is so nice it needs to be in a museum. It has most of the original stenciling on the beam and all of the original stenciling on the back side of the lay.

For a pony and not a full size horse so plow about size used on a walking
garden tractor and a lot were only a 6 inch plow. Mostly for gardens and
better than a shovel to get ground ready for planting. And you did not need
deep tillage for that.

They used them to plow up peanuts, but too, I always figured they used them in communities around the mines where all they had to pull them were the mine ponies and burrows.

John Deere Two-Cylinder Club of Facebook would be a place to post this.
