[AT] plows

[Dean Van Peursem]

Ed,

Actually. JD did offer a integral(underslung) moldboard plow for the unstyled B
all the way back to 1937.  The Yakima Hitches were designed by a company in
Yakima, WA (Lindeman Company - same company that did the crawler conversions for
JD) in the later 40's trying to get around the Ferguson System patent and were
sold for use on John Deere tractors that had a rock shaft lift. Quite a few
different implements were sold that could only be used with that proprietary
hitch. When the Ford/Ferguson patent suit got settled in 1952 it became fair
game for other manufacturers to design and sell three point hitches. The first
JD tractor that had a full conventional three point hitch (Category I) with load
and depth control was the JD Model 40 which was announced in 1952. .

I kind of think that   the  3pt  and  semi mounted  plows were not in that 
13th edition were  because  JD didn't have any  in the line at the time--    ( 
semi mounted in the sense they are  today-- riding the 3pt arms and a tail wh
eel)    in 39 the   9N FORDS were just out  and  HENCE  the 3pt hitch.
 
I have found a  Wiard plow  here  and  had never heard  of it before-- but 
according to one article I found online the Batavia NY plant  was at that time  
the largest/ oldest  plow factory in the  USA...  (I aint saying it is but 
they say  it was)
