Can you give me some history on the Dearborn 2 bottom plow, model 10-156???

Thanks
Jeff

As Ed said, the Economy Plow replaced the earlier Dearborn Moldboard (Prior Model) Plow beginning in 1950. The Economy Plow came in various models with the 10-151 as the 10" model; the 10-152 the 12" model; and the 10-156 as the 14" model. You can't get parts any more for the earlier Moldboard plows but the Dearborn Economy plow 10-156 (14")model still has wear parts sold at most tractor supply houses and AG dealers. The 10-156 Economy Plow is a good investment and they work great. Check out our MANUALS forum for Operating and Parts manuals.

It's what is known as the "Economy" plow because the "Prior Model" plow that it replaced did not have replaceable shares. It was introduced during the 8N model period - I think in 1951. Here's a page from a 1951 dealer ad brochure that describes the "new" Economy plow bottoms:

Here's a scan of an original invoice that came with my '52 8N that shows that the customer purchased a 10-156 Economy plow as part of the package:

Our Manuals / Plows library has much more info on this model plow.

Ed - Thanks for the information. It's very helpful. Can you tell me more about the Love disc harrow listed on your invoice??? I have what I've been told is a love disc but haven't been able to find any information on it. I will post some pictures later today.

My harrow as manufactured by Love Tractor, Inc / Love Lift Tools of Eau Claire, Michigan. I still use mine every year. I've got parts manuals for couple models - can post in our Manuals library if needed. Do you know the model of yours?

Here's a top view of mine:

Ed - Thanks for the picture. The disc I have is a tube disc and I can't find a tag on it. I posted some pictures in a separate posting.
