Rex: One of the problems with plows and in particular these fast hitch plows, is I think they could all be ordered with small or large forks. Then you factor in 5 two furrow models; C-20, C-25, 209, 209A and 211. Add to that different widths of cut; 10", 11" and 12" used the same width bottom, some 14" and 16" were the same while others not. Then you add to that Ace, General Purpose, Plow Chief and Super Chief. Generally speaking I think you will find the C-20 and C-26 are from the 50s with 10", 11", 12" and 14" either Ace or General Purpose bottoms. Getting into the 60s are the 209, 209A and 211, 14" and 16", Plow Chief or Super Chief bottoms complete with trip beams. I think it would also be safe to say the majority of the C-20 and C-26 were small fork for SC, 200 and 230. The later 1960s plows were probably primarily large fork as the 240 tractor came with large sockets on hitch. The aforementioned plows were all two bottom. There were also C-30, C-36, 309, 309A and 311, being coresponding 3 furrow plows. Building plows was much like building a fence, you used necessary components to get the job done. If that doesn't confuse the issue enough, there were also on farm modifications. Sounds like you are into that. I have one candidate for that. I have an A-295 plow I converted to 1 point fast hitch. I have since acquired a 296 one point fast hitch plow. Both plows 2x12, with same mold boards, coulters, etc. I have offered the converted plow for sale couple of times, even gave 2 guys demonstrations. The plow does excellent work, but everyone believes I should sell it for $50. In actual fact I have probably $300. worth of plow bottom parts plus the fast hitch pull beam , I had fabricated at a cost of $85. That precise pull beam has many possibilities on fabrications I haven't even dreamed up yet.

A City Guy's First Tractor - by Fred Hambrecht. After living in apartments in Atlanta for more years than I care to remember, the wife and I decided to move to the country. Humming "Green Acres is the place for me..." we purchased a 29 acre tract about 60 miles south of Atlanta. Next came the house, I could talk about that ordeal for another two weeks... But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
