I have what I believe to be a model 63 plow (3-14) for the WD45 and I recently decided I want to fix it up and paint it. I was wondering if anybody has pics of some that have been redone and are decals available? Also wondering how long this plow was produced and what different variations there was. I'm gonna see about getting a manual off of ebay for it. Thanks for any help.

The variations were called the 50 series, the 60 series, the 70 series, and the 80 series. I'm not sure how long they were made.

My plow frames book shows the 60 made in 1 to 5 bottoms. The 50 had straight up and down shanks, the 60 had angled shanks. Small 60s could be adjusted for 10 and 12" bottoms. Larger 60s were single width. The 70 had angled shanks and adjustable for two widths. Either 12 and 14 or 14 and 16. The 80 had spring trip shanks and adjustable widths like the 70. And I see there are spring trip shanks effective Jan 1965 for 60 and 80 plow frames.

I see 60 frames used prior to July 1958 and this parts book is dated 7/68. A model 62 for 10 or 12" bottoms is described as for B, CA, D, and WD Series tractors. A 65 is described as for a D19.

A 60 series 1 bottom 14 or 16 is described for a D-10 & D-12 tractors.

Effective Feb 63 there were stub beams for the 60, 70, and 80 series with spring trips.

The plow frames could be had three point, snap coupler, semi-mounted, and wheel type plus two way plows . Generally the plow frames were the same just those options involved different attachments. They could have front or rear gauge wheels, coulters, and later years for D series tractors with hydraulic adjustments and lifts.

The 9000 series was bigger and more often semi mounted with a hydraulic rear life/furrow wheel which took a lot of the landside thrust.

There were many variations using much the same parts, just more tacked on for more rows and then sometimes a bean over the top of the frame so it didn't rip apart.

There isn't complete documentation in this parts book for the year introduced and clearly they weren't yet replaced in 1968.

Were you able to get decals for it?

I have a manual coming for the plow. Still would like to see plows that have been painted up and know if decals are available.

Decals should be available from Lyle Wacker in Osmond Nebraska.
