Allis-Chalmers 3-16 plow ok for a 3J or 5U? was created by neil

Looking at an A-C 3-16 trailing plow for 5U to begin with, then the 3J eventually. We have sandy silt and clay around here but it tills pretty easily. Is that a good amount of plow for my tractors?
Doesn't have a safety tongue on it though.

Cheers,

You might join the Allis Chalmers forum. I just did, since I bought an Allis Chalmers ripper and could not find much information. The AC club/forum folks helped me out. Someone is bound to know what power yours needs to work. Grant.

Turns out that plow doesn't have wheels - not sure how that would work with a D2 but then I found a seller with a John Deere 55 A-B-H trip-lift which looks more my speed - think it's a 3-14

Neil I have a Oliver 4240 3 16 plow with all new wear pieces that I will sell for $550. I pulled it with my 5U with no problems
