Retiring the D14; need to modify four two bottom plows from snap coupler to 3 point. Your suggestions, photos,drawings, experience,opinions will be appreciated. We have a good metal fab shop in town. I still use a Forney stick welder Dad bought for me in 1945. Herb(GA)

After you waste a lot of time and resources to ruin the nice plows you have, you'll wish you left things alone. There are plenty of 3pt plows out there if you need one and none of them will pull as easy as a properly adjusted Snap-Coupler plow will. You don't need to re-invent the wheel, just get what you are looking for instead of turning a snap coupler plow into scrap metal. There are some that have seen the light and are looking for Snap-Coupler equipment. 3pt crap is a dime a dozen. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

. Lol, now you gotta buy a new tractor and a new plow! See, that's how collections start. I'd chime in with getting a 'new' three point plow. You'll save a lot of headaches. FB Marketplace or Craigslist. .

 It seems a real shame to sell, why not keep, clean and display them ? Wife wants me to 'retire' (aka get rid of..) My D-14 ( Troy) and his tools..sigh------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

My situation is not much farm land in north GA; so not many plows. Herb(GA) |
