Ed: They are not worth very much, somewhere between $50. and $250. depending on condition and where you live. They were indeed an H plow, 3 bottom version and you put it behind an M. Those plows probably did the best job of plowing of all the plows IH ever built.

That plow also using the same model number was also sold in two different versions; being the Canadian version and US version. Interestingly enough the Canadian version had options not available on the US version. There were also two separate bottoms. The IH general purpose bottom, I have seen on both Canadian and US plows. The other bottom was called an Ace bottom. I have seen thousands of pictures of these but never an Ace bottom on a US plow. The Ace bottom was more like the European bottoms we see on modern day plows.

Plows were built here in Canada until the early 1960s. I suspect the only part ever produced here was the frame, and the bottoms came from either US or Europe depending on who had excess supplies. Our frame had perpendicular cross members between beams and were adjustable as to width of cut. This meant dealers could keep frames around and add whatever bottom the customer wanted. A better description may be that IH could dump in Canada what ever bottom they had excess of from various plants around the world.

Other differences on the No 8 plow included the levers for setting the plows. Our levers here in Canada were hinged in middle and by use of a three notch adjustment you could quickly set your levers to suit either a Farmall or a W series tractor. Our lever also incorperated a reduction cog in the setting of the plow which gave finer settings.
