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.
hello ,i hope the ripper goes with the tractor ,be a shame not to get it aswell,bruce oz
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.
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.
If I can help am still have some poney parts for D8
A few more pictures
