Ed: It looks like a Little Genius No.8, but to me there are a couple of items that don't look right. This plow was built from 1928 to 1960 and over that period of time quite a few changes were made. 67,000 copies of this plow were sold. It is very unlikely any one individual has seen all those changes. The particular plow that I am most familiar with is a 1942 model that my dad bought new. My guess, and it is only a guess, your plow is pre war stock. The two items that look different and not right in my eyes are tongue or pull bar and the levers for adjusting the plow. All No 8 pull bars that I have seen use a cross member just in front of hinges, with tongue hooked to the cross mamber. The main tongue is paralell with plow beams and has a diagnol brace to the cross bar. Also the spring for the trip hitch is full length of tongue The levers I am familiar with have the end you grab on at right angles. I can see these levers being a choice item when ordering a plow. Of course the very reason I am calling your plow pre war, is the items that look not right to me, may well have been standard equipment in the early 30s. I have been around a lot of these plows since the 40s and have never seen those two items.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
