Our neighbour had an early row crop WD that was equipped with a 3 bottom hyd plow. There was a frame that was mounted under the tractor with a pin connecting frame to the tractor were the snap couple attachment was connected when the s/c came out in the mid 50's. The plow was attached to this frame. Does anyone recall seeing a plow like this. believe there was a chain on each side from the frame that was attached to each lift arm. Dick would plow all day long running the engine at 1/4 throttle and the governor would keep kicking in. ------------- Fred Dunlop, G,B,CA, WC,WF, 3 WD45`s,gas, diesel and LP,U,D10 series III, D12,D14,D15 SERIES II,D17 Series IV in Gas and Diesel ,D19 GAS and D21,170 185,210 ,220 an I-600 8070 fwd, 716H and 1920H |

I think you are talking about a "pin Hitch". that is what I get from your description, if I am right I have 2 of them. ------------- 1945 C, 1949 WF and WD, 1981 185, 1982 8030, unknown D14(nonrunner) |

The plow that Dick had was before this set up. Chains were used on each side from the plow to the lift arms and there was a large coil spring ahead of were the pin went in (were snap coupler would connect). ------------- Fred Dunlop, G,B,CA, WC,WF, 3 WD45`s,gas, diesel and LP,U,D10 series III, D12,D14,D15 SERIES II,D17 Series IV in Gas and Diesel ,D19 GAS and D21,170 185,210 ,220 an I-600 8070 fwd, 716H and 1920H |

That spring was common on WD's with plows up till the SC set-up anyway. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

| My memory is a little vague but grew up with both and I'd say the answer is yes. We started with 2-16's with the drawbar pull and later with 3-14's pin hitch pull. With the first the drawbar has to float up and down and remember more than likely the pto shaft has to come out with both. |

We ran a '49 WD with hitch pull. The PTO shaft didn't need to come out. The hitch pull was a little more complicated to hitch up, but it was a rock solid connection. |

Some people call this the "beehive" spring. It was an option when ordering the plows. I would guess it was used for the drawbar mounted plow on this particular tractor since it has neither the pin hitch nor the snap-coupler bell.
