After getting the wheel weights on the 'wide front' 45, I thought I should try it on the plow. First time was up at the MIAPA show in August. Today I plowed the garden, I like plowing with this set-up. I think I will love plowing with the 185.  |

Love the beautiful rich black earth you have in the mid-west. Would love to have plowed with the 45 in this terrain. Here in Maryland we have sand or red clay rocky soil. Real nice looking 45. GREAT to plow with. I cannot see how many bottoms you are pulling - looks like two - but we easily pulled three here. Bet you may well be able to pull four in that earth. Remember you have a 53 - 57 tractor. You know I never cease to be amazed at how well this equipment we sold -new in my day - has held up. Yes, Allis Chalmers made them well but the tender loving care you all give them really helps. Thanks again for keeping a name I love alive. Good Luck! Bill Long |

Thanks for posting these fall garden pictures and the good looking 45 turning over the soil! My guess its a set of 3 bottom 14's??? I was thinking of doing the same thing this fall. My plows are 5 miles away. Would be a good reason for a road trip with the D17, or the WD wide front. We used to have two farms 5 miles apart when I was a kid. Our Allis tractors had as many road miles as field miles! We still have a few peppers in our garden.

It is indeed a 3-14 model 53 plow and it looks like I need to raise the coulters up a little. Jay, it's back there, you can see it in the first pic. |

Mike, The coulter in the picture doesn't look too bad. What is your rear tire size? The look really nice and beefy! regards, Chris ------------- D17 1958 (NFE), WD45 1954 (NFE), WD 1952 (NFE), WD 1950 (WFE), Allis F-40 forklift, Allis CA, Allis D14, Ford Jubilee, Many IH Cub Cadets, 32 Ford Dump, 65 Comet. |

Coulters are very adjustable on AC plows. Generally the bottom of the coulter should be an inch or two above the tip of the plow share. Gerald J. |
