44 john Deere plow

preacher man · Aug 16, 2014

Just came home with a John Deere 44, clutch lift plow. When I bought it, I thought it was 2-12" but after getting it home find it is 2-10". It is in exceptional condition. My question is, has anyone ever seen one with the 10 inch bottoms before?

Are you measuring the beams inside to outside or inside to inside?

The #44 was available in 10,12,14 and 16" bottoms

See one at a show once a few years ago.

I need to look! I have one that can be set on 10 or 12 inches.

That does NOT work on that plow. The small frame is 11" measured like that and is 10" or 12", the medium is 13" and 12" or 14" and large is 15" and 14" or 16". The vertical part of the beam has a bend in and to change furrow width you take that piece from the back bottom and move it to the front and front to back, that is where you get 2 furrow width sizes per frame from. And Deere used the same moldboards for the 10", 12" and 14" bottoms, just differend length shares. I had a 12" plow but it was the 55 3 furrow and the part numbers are all the same for all three bottom sizes, Last time I bought new shares and this was for a medium frame 44 (was a different bottom than the 55) and se on 14" I ordered 14" shares and got the 10" as that was all Deere still had. Part numbers is the only way to tell what parts he has. The 44 was Deere's only size adjustable 2 bottom plow and they made a 3 bottom that adjusted simular but those are very scarce, never seen one in my almost 71 years. Think the number was 56.

Yeah, used to own one, but sold it a couple of years ago.
