You have a "landing Lever" that will let you adjust the Width of the 1st furrow slice that can eliminate some rear wheel adjustments.. Looks far better made ( tho Heavier ).. It does all come down to "Your Choice"..Positives with this one, if you can pull it and you cannot "Pull It" until you shine the surfaces up first... It will be more of an Anchor, until the soil sill SLIDE over the surfaces.. Ron..   [Reply]  [No Email]

Growing up we farmed with an 8N and pulled 2-14s, in 2nd gear. Dad's farm was all good non-sandy soil. Dad did custom pulling when the tractor was new to pay it off. The only plow we had for the 8N was the two bottom.   [Reply]  [No Email]

When NEW, your 8N was generally "Rated" for 2-12". If everything is on YOUR Side, you could pull 2-14"..BUT..in a Worst Case, may not pull 1-14" TRACTION is usually the short-coming of the 8N/9N..GOOD Tread and possibly added Weight would be needed..Many Loaded the rear tires.. This Plow...in the current Condition, you are NOT going to "Plow" with because the sliding surfaces are RUSTY..Beyond what would clean up in 10 Acres of Clay soil.. You can Clean it up and it will be fine (and KEEP it scoured and Greased/Painted) if you Never let it get Rusty again.. Use a 4 1/2" Dia Angle-Grinder (MASK Required).. using the Thin "Cut-Off Discs".. Hold at an angle of about 30 Degrees from the surface and it will ONLY Clean off the Rust..right down to the Black Oxide under the rust and NOT even scratch the Steel..!! The Black Oxide will be NO problem and WILL scour like it is not even there.. You will need 3 or 4 Cut-Off Discs to clean it all up.. Ron..   [Reply]  [No Email]

Maybe a wire wheel but never a grinder and for sure not a slitting wheel. Cletrac, is the tail wheel still on it? If the tail wheel is there then the price is good. I the tail wheel is not there I wouldn't buy it. It needs new shares but they are readily available for about $40 each. You will need fluid in your tires to pull it or wheel weights. As said it all depends on your soil. My 2N with good engine, new tires and wheel weights would not pull 2-14s in our claey loam soil. Not enough power. I found a 1-16 and it was a real nice combo.   [Reply]  [No Email]

The Cut-off wheel at a 30 degree angle acts like a very nice "Putty Knife" and will NOT harm the steel.. It is flexible enough to give a little and will only remove the Rust and leave the Black Oxide under that rust Rust...amazing as it sounds.. You should keep this in mind and try it sometime.. I was very surprised myself..!! Looks like it would not be much work (if you needed to) to take the rear bottom OFF, on this plow.. Maybe extend the front "land-Slide" a little, but that would not hurt it's plowing if you did it and used Both bottoms.. I did this on my #44 JD plow and it really holds a straighter furrow in soft ground.. Ron   [Reply]  [No Email]

Trying to pull that much plow with an N and no tail wheel is going to make the tractor crab hard. Plus you'd need new shares. Those are very good plows but not that one.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Problem is, you rarely see these in this area. I see more older versions that are not trip back/reset, like the older Dearborn and Ferguson models, and when I see more of these, its just a little more often then a 101 ford or similar. Many times they want a premium for them too, 3 pt implements hold their value around here, priced right they sell immediately. 30 miles away at our other place, a fellow came by to do soil tests, he mentioned going to look at a 2 bottom plow one afternoon, same ad in CL, did not have the heart to tell him I already bought it, needs shares, straighten the lever, landslides to, tailwheel bent up a little, but its complete, you can get the wear parts for these I believe as they are modern enough and still popular, thing is price a new one with all the extras, coulter, gauge wheel, and what have you, and they are not as well built, may just be shear bolt protected, I still say you are money ahead fixing one of these up. I would also say, there has to be a salvage yard or a way to get, make or add a tail wheel, plow like that is worth fixing in my opinion. I found a Ford 110 1-16 single bottom for $125 in '09, had all the options too, gauge wheel, coulter, longer or heavier landslide, shear bolt protected, but properly adjusted it plows beautifully in even the rocky, heavier clay/loam/gravel soils. That plow would scour in one short pass or 50 feet around here, I use grease or paint the moldboard when not in use, I enjoy having and using either of these for tillage on gardens, food plots or what have you, honestly I think I like implements better than tractors LOL !!!   [Reply]  [No Email]
