What model plow?

I have never, ever seen one of those!!! Must be rare and very desired!! Ryan

I have that same plow, and agree with Butch that they are an easy puller. I pull one with a WD45 diesel or gas in 4-14. Gerald gave excellent descriptions of the variations in plow frames. The difference between the 60 and 70 is height of clearance and length. The 70 will clear more trash than the 60, by far.

Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.

Of that vintage there were 5 model families. 50, 60, 70, 80, and 9000. All with the frame made up of bent bar bolted together.

50 had fixed width frame and vertical plow shanks, no trips.

60 had fixed width frame and slanted plow shanks, usually without trips but there was that option for spring trip shanks.

70 had adjustable frame width (more bolts, especially in the cross members) and slanted fixed plow shanks. There were optional spring trip shanks that would bolt in place of the fixed plow shanks.

80 had adjustable frame width and slanted spring trip shanks.

9000 were generally at least 4 bottoms and the gusset plates for the spring trip shanks were formed to bolt to the bottom of the truss bar that connects the bottoms stronger than the formed bar stock plow frame.

50 through 80 came in 2 through at least 6 bottoms, and some in flip over bidirectional plows. Those of us with a plow frame parts book can identify from a picture much of the time. Hitches for three point, pull behind, and snap coupler could often be used on several plow models. Plow bottoms were sold separately from plow frames and are not significantly useful in identifying a plow frame model, and identifying the plow frame model is very little help in identifying a bottom to find wear parts like shares and landsides.

The best way to identify a plow bottom is to find a part number on frog, molboard, shin, or share, then we can go from there in the plow bottoms book to find the bottom number and to identify the parts numbers that fit, often AC offered 6 to 12 different plow shares for the same bottom of different materials and shapes.

Snap coupler model 74 with truss bar. What shows in my parts catalog.

It looks very much like a Model 70. I'm looking at the manual for it right now.

	A model sixty plow wouldn't get 10 feet in the trash that Butch is turning over in his picture.

	Yup, late model 74. We have one for the '19 and they are a very nice plow. Ours has 375 bottoms and is set out to 16". An easy puller too here moving along in the hi side of third and the 19 barely knows it is attached.

	That is one plow I have never seen. I have some plows that need to be identified so now I know where to go. Do they have model # on them somewhere or how was it done.

	I just picked this plow up the other day. I am familiar with the differences in the 50,60,70, and 80 series. I have only seen 1 other plow like this. Would it be just a mocdel 74 with a steerable tail wheel?
