Monroe Plow?

[slingworks]

I went to a consignment auction today, mainly on a whim like just about every man does...

Bought A 2-14 plow, but is tagged a maker I never heard of. Says MONROE made in USA.

Anyone ever hear of this maker/brand? The plow is in good complete mechanical shape, and I just bought it for garden work, so I don't need anything for it-for now.

It appears to be a copy of a Ferguson 2-14 plow. Everything, or almost everything looks identical.

I'm wondering if it's a clone (near clone) or was made by Ferguson as a "Brand" of some kind?

I only ask in case I break something and need to order something. Any ideas?

Bmaverick that's some pretty solid follow-up you did there.

So it seems that plow isn't a Ferguson. (I guess a clone?) I never would have guessed Monroe Auto Parts. After looking up the old Monroe company logo that's it.

I just bought it for small patch/garden plowing. It's a pretty tight piece and was pretty cheap ($145). Sort of disposable in a way? (We were joking at the auction it's cheaper to buy a replacement than to buy parts).

I'm planning to try it out this week, surely allot more handy than the Ford 3-16 I normally use.

Since you're good at ID'ing implements, I have another I bought at the same auction I need ID'd:
A 2 row 3 point cultivator with Danish S tines. What's unusual about it is that it's adjustable for width from a crank in the front. I'll post a photo of it today or tomorrow.

Back after WW2, Crank Cultivators were popular world wide.

I actually own one right now, made in 1956. It was given to me late last year. I just stumbled upon the parts manual this afternoon.

Yes, drop some images. Crazy to see 70 year old equipment in good working condition today. And these things sit outside not aging much at all!
