I pulled what i think is an oliver 2 bottom trailer plow out of the weeds yesterday and want to get it going to pull with my Farmall H. I am not a plow expert at all. Does this look like an oliver plow? What model number is it? I cant find a tag on it anywhere. There is also a rod right beside the cylinder that has a spring on it but when you pull it back it does nothing. When all the way down it is the same length as the hitch. Does this hook onto the drawbar for some reason? The hitch on it looks like a dump truck one. Do you put a twisted clevis on the drawbar to hook it up? Also the guy had this wired for up and down pressure but everyone tells me that you dont need down pressure? Should i just put a vent in it and just use the weight of plow to pull it in? Anything else I should know or forgot? Well thanks in advance!!!

What you have appears to be an Oliver model 100 plow. The rod next to the cylinder should have a bracket on top to hold the hydraulic hoses up so they won't drag on the ground or foul the hitch. This is a very good plow, the first model with the famous RAYDEX bottoms. I have two of them, with mechanical lift. They have no down pressure and with good shares will go in the ground just fine, unless it's so hard that you shouldn't be plowing anyway. Hope this helps. The guys on the Oliver board should be able to give more info.

RC, nice to see the photos are there now. Where did you find a plow with so little use, I see one bracket welded, but the detail of the hitch shows no wear at all!

Anyhow, you have the coulters (discs) on backwards, loosen the bolt on the bottom where they swivel & spin them around 180 degrees.

As to the spring loaded rod you talk about, I assume the vertical one fastened by the hyd cylinder? We don't get a good view of it, but is there any kind of clamp on the top? I would assume it is to hold the hydaulic hoses up out of the way.

Thanks for your help! Yeah i didnt think the plow had been used much neither but i couldnt tell b/c i know nothing about trailer plows. My grandfather bought it for our farmall h and just let it sit in the weeds for appox. 20 years. The guy he bought it from only used it a couple of times! I think that rod does hold the hydraulic hoses now that i get the looking at it. When I was pulling it out of the weeds I had no way to lift it up so i had to pull it backwards and it reversed the discs so I took them off, oiled them up, and now they look good as new! Thanks for your response!!!

I'm not seeing any picture....
The hitch you describe sounds like the type we used to use on our IH plows. They had a spring-loaded hook which went into a twisted clevis and would release from the tractor when the plow hooked a big (or sometimes not-so-big!) rock. This was before the age of trip-back plow beams. If this is the type of hitch you have, make sure you have hydraulic couplers that will disconnect from the tractor when the plow does!
Your H probably has the belly-pump "Liftall" hydraulic system, and it will only operate the cylinder in a single-acting (up only) movement unless you add additional valves. Put a vent in the other end of the cylinder, and let gravity drop the plow.
I'm at a loss to imagine what the rod is with the spring on it that is the same length as the hitch.... unless it's a depth-adjustment lever that has been lengthened to where it can be reached from the seat of the tractor. Perhaps someone else will have a clue....

Double acting hyd. has the advantage of not creeping up on you in unevan ground. That's why alot of things have extra springs added to counter act the creeping.
