little genius spoked wheels

[LAB]

I have a little genius plow with spoked wheels. It is a 2-14 and I would like to know when they made them and where I can obtain a moldboard for it with the part number of 03132. I would like to restore it with the proper colors. It originally had a steel tailwheel also. Thanks, LAB

Welcome to the forum. They made them from the 30 up into the late 40s. The colors are cream on the wheels, red frame, blue lift mechanism. I have a picture of one from the manual I will post after.

Here are a few photos of the LG 8 plow that I restored a few years ago

Wear Parts Company - Moldboard Plow

Cresent Forge and Shovel Co. is another source. However, their web page seems to be gone.

Good luck.

Thanks for your help. Do you think the spoke wheels with rubber tires are original or were they cut and welded from steel wheels? thanks, LAB

Do you think they made these with rubber or were they modified. Thanks

Those spoked rubber tire wheels on my #8 look like OEM, probably an option the IH offered in place of the steel wheels. However, you see #8's with all kinds of rubber tires/rims so people must have junked the steel wheels at some point in time and replaced them with whatever rubber they had lying around. Just a guess.

Good luck
