Yes, just remover the two rear beams and some of the framework. ------------- 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 |

If the plow parts book linked over in the Knowledge Forum at Plows 101 is still available you can look up the 51 and 53 plow frames and compare their parts. The simplest conversion would be to take off the two plow bottoms and shanks to the rear and use only the front. The top link may require more frame to the rear than would be left by taking off plow frame parts behind the front bottom. Gerald J. |

You may have to shorten the beaming part......good advice above to find some pictures....or change to smaller bottoms for easier pulling... |

Personally,I would take the front 2 bottoms off and move the rear bottom to the front so you would have the long landslide and skid for depth control. JMHO. ------------- It's the color tractor my grandpa had! |

Moving the whole rear bottom to the front might work but the landside on the bottom of the plow shank might be easier to move to the front bottom than to move the whole rear bottom and stud up front. Gerald J. |
