Help IDing a plow (pic)

62champ · Apr 27, 2011

My SC I brought home last summer had two sets of equipment with it.

There was a set (C-254 I think) of cultivators already mounted on the tractor and then another set of plows I would like to ID.

My dad says they always referred to these types of plows as "bedders" - I have mostly seen them online as middle-busters.

They have the IH emblem on the top adjustment bar - but I am not sure if they are original equipment or something someone threw together.

Here are a couple of pics and thanks ahead.

IH called them middlebusters. Yours look like a proper set for a C or Super C.

C-18 middlebuster

Have a complete parts diagram if needed

Does the parts manual show any type of "ramp" (two runners balanced on the crossbar in photo) for the front tires to drive up and over the crossbar?

Wondered what you were using them for... lol

Sorry no, the parts diagram does not show any type of ramp.
Wish I had a set like that. Would work good for hilling potatoes. I have the same cultivators as you have and have the operators manual, which explains install procedures etc. I will look for one on the C-18 a and C-18 b middlebusters or maybe someone here can help. I"d like one for my collection. Also looking for C-199 two way plow setup.

I'd put money on the ramp being a farmer modification.

Normally, you'd separate the two lift brackets from the middlebusters, mount them to the tractor, drag the rest under the tractor's belly, and connect it back up to the lift brackets.

If anybody would like a 2 bottom mounted plow for a C I saw a complete one at Jackel Bros in Fort Atkinson, WI yesterday.

Yep - it is a little hair raising when those front tires reach the top of the ramp - feels like it is trying to go into orbit...

It is funny you mention potatoes - when I had them on for the first time last Friday, my wife was about to start doing some potato planting by hand.

I made four twenty yard long rows, dropped the seed potatoes in, and then just went through and covered them up - I was back at the top of the good list after that - being a week on though, I have probably slipped back again...
