There was a company just west of me that made everything from plows to stationary engines. There are still a few examples around here,I've even got two plows,but if they got very far from home you'd have a heck of a time identifying them.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Seriously, as good shape that it seems to be, you would think there would be a name somewhere, but I have seen a lot of implements with numbers stamped on various parts, (I would think that they were part numbers,) but they had no manufacturer name. I have three old disc harrows that have no ID on them at all. Can you tell if it's been re-painted? If there is another color underneath, that may give a clue.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Also, there are two original-looking bolts in the lever quadrants, square-headed with a raised dot in the center.   [Reply]  [No Email]
