i gota look for the missing piece the next time i go out there. maybe i can weld it back together and make some nice yard art out if it.

You could weld a plate on top and put a nice flower pot on it. Or better yet, find and old iron kettle to attach to the top. Put a vertical growing flower in the center surrounded by something that would grow over and hang down the side. Place it along the front walk next to the door or next to the back patio. Be careful where you put it, the rust will stain.

From what I see in the photo, and have seen of old horse drawn moldboard plows that have a wooden beam, I would say you have a very old walk behind horse drawn plow.

that very well could be. it was my grandfathers farm and liked farm equipment.

welded the plow back together. cast iron is not easy to weld. it came out ok. i dont think ill be using this plow as an implement. to many stress cracks. im going to paint it up and it will be yard art.

I spent many days as a kid, following mules and horses behind the old walking plow. The Vulcan #12 was a wicked piece. But, the Chattanooga # 95 was a wonderful tool. That one was left handed, with slatted moldboard. It was lighter, and ran true enough for a very small boy (me), to plow all day, in the KY creek bottoms. And, don't let anyone fool you. Those old plows could really turn the sod or stalk ground completely over, and do it 6 to 10 inches deep, when properly set up. But a lot of folks, just "cut and covered", as dad called it. By the way, I see some folks doing that with the small tractors too.
I will be watching for one of those to "adapt" to the Yella' Mule.

this plow has some words on it, says " B KILL 19 1/2" not sure what any of that means?
