    Default 14-a

    Hey 4x6,

    That is a 14-a D8. It has a hyadraulic hard nose on it. Should be a #29 cable controll unit on it. I love running my old 14a. It's a hotrod. If you get the serial # someone can give you a year model. Mid Fifties.-glen

    The nose and deck look a little long to me...it might be a 15A D-8.

    If it has only 3 forward speeds, it's a 15A.

    There would be 5 gauges on a 15A...I can only make out 3 as on the 14A.
    Nice find.

    Photo number four looks more like a single winged ditcher or a really large single bottom plow! Perhaps Itzik can fill in some more history for us.

    The tool goes with plow
    There is no intention not to take it
    Pony engine does not work
    I want to try to fix in place
    Otherwise removal and unloading becomes complicated
    I probably cut the cables
    More pictures we will post soon

    Looks like a breaking plow, at least that's what we use them for here in Canada, they were big and heavy to penetrate native prairie soil, we also use them on freshly cleared ground as they will go right through the roots that are left behind and turns them under deep so that the they can rot down and not get tangled up in the cultivators and discs when working the soil. I have also seem them used on the pineapple plantations in Costa Rica, they will use a massve 3 bottom 36 inch plow to turn over the pineapple fields after harvesting, they pulled them with D8n's, and D8r's.
