Unless you can travel in time, there is no way you can definitively say that the plow is original. I really don't want to make a big deal out of this, but it just irks me when someone who just bought something claims it's "original."
People look at a tractor and say, "Yup, that's original paint." WHAT? Have you got X-ray eyes and a spectrum analyzer in your brain? How would you be able to tell the difference between original 1950 paint, and a 1954 repaint, or a 1965 repaint, or a 1977 repaint? They're all going to look old and weathered.
Time and old age play tricks on the mind. An original owner may have forgotten that the plow was converted because it was one of those forgettable moments. If the guy you bought it from wasn't the original owner, then all bets are off.
In fact I know it isn't original because factory hydraulic lift plows came with a special bare land axle that did not have the trip lift mechanism. Of course the picture is blurry and I can't be 100% sure that what I'm seeing is the trip lift housing, and I could be completely off my rocker on this one.
Either way, it's NO BIG DEAL. These plows are awesome. Original hydraulic lift is neat, but the conversion is even neater. It gives the plow a history and a personality.

In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
