is this a wheel horse plow?

[Martin 2,131]

picked this up today, compared it to some pics on here and i think this is a wheel horse plow. it is similar to this one in the two pics below except for the attachment being a clevis hitch type and not slot hitch as in the pic.

here are quite a few pics of what i have, looking for comments, opinions etc and if it is indeed wh, how do i work out a model number or manual for it?

is the left bracket bent in this pic? i know the disc is bent and im thinking the bracket should look the same as the other side...

should the lower part of the plow in this pic be straight. looks like some of them have a brace here. theres a hole for it but not sure where it bolts up to.

I think thats a Brinly plow..

[squonk 41,013]

Yes, looks like a STD. Brinly plow.

[Martin 2,131]

alright, so i went to the brinly site and downloaded a manual. other than the spacers between the frame pieces being welded on mine, it looks to be a match with a brinly model no. pp-510

heres the manual......

Most of the parts have changed very little over the years.

Here's the newest parts/price list from Brinly: http://shop.brinly.c...-Plow_c_26.html

thanks tt, ive spent the last 15 min or so on that site looking at parts, pics etc.....

now to decide what color to paint it. is there any way to date this thing? i dont mean down to the year, but to the decade or so? i noticed that the new ones are black all over, but a search online shows the black and white. also the decals vary in the pics i have found.......

[Martin 2,131]

i guess my next question is what is the correct looking colors for it? if i did the white and black like in the pic with the oval shaped decal. i guess i could do it the same white as the wheel color i use in powder. the black i would do a lower gloss black.....

but what did brinly use on these things?

[Martin 2,131]

found some reading to answer.......

Mine came painted like the one behind the 953/1054? in the first picture and had the same decal. My other ones are white with the oval decal

[Martin 2,131]

i think i might make up something like this to mount with the slot hitch instead of sourcing a clevis hitch from somewhere.....

Why do we always end up in the same place Martin?

[Martin 2,131]

well i havent got around to making the slot adapter yet. but the plow is painted. did the frame ral 1013 (oyster white) same as the wheel color i use and the rest of it dull black, with some of the hardware silver. some pieces needed some straightening from excavator wounds ( see the holder ag 3 thread i started, this was in the scrap pile) lots of beating with a sledge hammer on the frame with blocks of wood to get it straight, the disc needed work too, look at the original pics and most of the bent stuff can be seen there.......

need to get some decent nuts and washers, maybe replace a few of the plow bolts, and a spacer or two and get it back together.......

here is all the pieces laid out......

I need more pictures to decide. :ychain:

[sorekiwi 761]

Looks nice.

Are you going to use that thing? or just for show?

[squonk 41,013]

Plow it! I hope to get to a few plow days this year. Looks like a blast although I'm going to use my Power King instead of a :wh:

i think i might just have to use it, it aint that good looking that i need to keep it just for show..........

[Jake Kuhn 1,554]

Very nice! Can't wait to see it back together!

[Martin 2,131]

well jake here it is!!!!

have to work out some fasteners, i didnt have some of the right length and used a couple of odd bolts, but i got it together to make sure everything fits right... after having to beat on the frame to get it straight, i didnt put it back together before paint, but everything seems to be sitting ok. that thick steel sure is a workout if you have to straighten anything.....
