Brinly-Hardy Plow (repost)

[Hick 2,229]

Went to the farm today to pick up a lawn tractor (B208S) for one of the guys here. While there, asked my brother about a plow his bro-in-law had for his MW tractor. He dug it out of the pile, and I hauled it home. Bigger than I was expecting! Looks like a 12" bottom.NOW, how do I go about mounting this to my D-A 1920?

Looks like a 10" to me. You would need a rear lift and sleeve hitch and a narrower right rear tire.

[Hick 2,229]

Measuring from the landside to the tip of the share, it measures 12".

Now, anyone out there have a sleeve hitch for a Sunstar or D-A 1920?

I think I can make the rear lift, did on my two JDs anyhow. 8D

agree with Josh 10in plow, to my knowledge 10's were sleeve hitch and 12's were 3pt. but that's just my thoughts

id="quote">That may be, but it's not the width of the furrow. You would measure a plow from the landside, to the outside of the furrow, or 90* from the end of the share.

Here are a couple pics that came up in google...

It's a 10". The 12" were for a 3 point, and there was no threaded rod on them to adjust the angle because it was adjusted via the toplink on the 3 point.

This is alot more complicated then it seems!

Looks like a 12" to me. There were 12" Brinly sleeve hitch plows but they are much less common. I restored a 10" this fall and Hick's plow appears to be substantially larger. Another distinction is the reinforcing strap between the moldboard and the landside, though I have seen that on a few 10's also.

[Hick 2,229]

From all the measurement pix (which is how I measured it) and memories of Voc Ag class (don't ask how many years ago!), I'm staying with 12".

Besides, Bigger is Better!

And looking at pix of the sleeve hitch that I've found (JD calls them Integral), I can probably make one of those, too.

Perhaps a hybrid that would fit the JD and the D-A.

(can I talk about JD here? ? )

Another vote for 12" here. I've never seen a 10" Brinly with the brace between the landside and the plow share.

It looks like a 12", and could have even started out in life as a 3 point version. I believe the horizontal cross bar bolted in the same place as the sleeve hitch clevis you see dangling in the picture. I converted a 10" sleeve type to 3 point for a Sunstar, so I don't see any reason why it couldn't go both ways.
