The Chattanooga (International Harvester) plow is one of two types commonly used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, in the 1940’s and 1950’s (Figure 15). Occasionally, a 10–in (250–mm) Chattanooga can still be found in bone yards, antique stores, or in stock–drawn implement dealers. Parts are also available from the Erb Plow Works in Sugar Creek, OH. Shares may be obtained from Dyko, Inc., of Spokane, WA. This plow, complete with single tree, weighs about 150 lb (68 kg). Set up for trail plowing, the plow will have the following:
- Jointer knife for slicing heavy sod and roots.
- Adjustable hillside (lateral) draft from the handles.
- Adjustable latch claws to prevent the plow share and moldboard from chattering.
- Gauge wheel for depth adjustment and easy running.
