1951 Farmall Super A - 2 bottom breaking plow

I have purchased a 1951 Farmall Super A and the 2-bottom breaking plow that goes with it. The owner is deceased and no one knows how to hook up the breaking plow. Any idea?

You need to go to a dealer and get the owners manual for that plow as you probably dont have all the rite stuff to mount for that trqctor.

I have a 1953 SA. I also have a 2 bottom breaking plow. Remove any plows you may have on the front of tractor. Remove the draw bar on the rear of the tractor (you must have the draw bar) and turn it around and move toward the front of the tractor beneath the brake and clutch pedals. There will be to mounting bolts on each side of the rear end housing just like where it mount in the back to pull with. On the mounts of the draw bar on each side there to 1/2" bolts that hold the draw bar tight to the mount - loosen these bolts but do not remove at this time. With the draw bar moved to the front of the tractor back the tractor up the breaking plow - on the plow there should be a bar with two links of chain attached to the plow - this bar is a hollow tube with a steel bar running through it - this bar slides in the so that you can slide the solid bar through the lift holes in the arms of the power lift - with that all hooked in place with the tractor running use the power lift to raise the plow off the ground where it's just swinging under the tractor. On the front of my plow there is 2 u-shaped clamps that hook over the draw bar for pulling power - in the center of the 2 u-shaped clamps there another hook up with holes that will slide over the draw bar and can be held in place with a pin (about 5/8" inch or larger in diameter) and the pin is held in place with spring clip. Now with all that hooked you need to remove the 2 half inch bolts from each side of the draw bar - this will allow you to tilt the front front of the plow to help it go in the ground. There should be a long flat piece of steel that goes from the front of the plow and pins to the rock shaft of the power lift to tilt the front of the breaking plow. With my plow there is another piece with a "J" hook on the bottom that fits in an eye bolt on the breaking plow - the other end of the rod hooks to the steering rod support on the tractor - this rod is used to tilt the plow with the driver in the seat. I've had my tractor for more that 40 years and I've never used it. I just use a big screw driver to turn the eyebolt and once I got it set I've never changed it. You'll have to use trial and error to adjust the chains in the rear to control the depth that the plow will run. The thing about the SA's with the power lift that if the plow starts to run too deep or shallow the adjust with the power lift. Take your time and study the plow and the parts that come with and you will figure it out - I didn't have the the internet or anyone to help - just had to look at all the pieces and figure out to make them work. I know this is a long post but I tried to make is simple. Hopes the helps - James

It should mount exactly the same as the 1-bottom plow, which is similar to how a Cub plow mounts.

There are pictures on TMTractorDOTcom of a Cub plow mounting so you can get the idea.

The main difference is in the depth control. A Cub has a mechanical lever on the right fender. The Super A uses a bar that runs between the right hydraulic arm and the center hole of the drawbar.

I read your post to the guys question regarding how to hook up the 2 bottom plow to his tractor.
Seems like you know what your talking about and have a few yrs experience..lol.......
I was hoping maybe you would answer a question for me, I have a 47 A.....Ive seen on craigs list a guy is selling a cub one bottom plow........Would that work on my A?
Sure would be nice to have it if it would....alot easier than the trailer plow Ive been pulling around...lol......Thank You for your time....Ron

I found the draw bar and the bar used for depth control. The plow, the bar, and the depth control bar have been mounted together and are working correctly. I"ve attempted to upload pictures to this site, but my Antivirus software will not allow it. Thanks to all who replied. Your information and tips have been very helpful.
