What dp _ ? , there is different ones and the rams are different.

You can still get all the bits from their old factory at Stockton near Southam.
They are really helpful.

And is ram on tractor side of headstock or on furrows side (later years)?

Thanks for all the comments
We now have Ben’s plough pictured above which has a good ram but is too good to break up so I could still do with a spare DP7 ram if anyone has one?

Can buy a working one in York auctions for less than the parts cost.

A few years ago I went to York looking for a extra furrow for a dp7.ended up paying £95 for a rough looking 4f.got it home put some points on and used it .not much paint on it but it ploughed ok.used for maybe 10years then took it back to York last year and got £500 for it

Yes they’re deeply unfashionable but extremely cost effective pieces of kit (unless you need any new parts)
It amazes me how people with 30k cultivators and 70k drills claim ploughing is expensive

Might be worth your time calling Jeremy Waspe at Agrihire. He's a real Dowdeswell man and has several old DPs about.

I’d rather avoid dealers - the Facebook plough above was being sold by a dealer for £1400 (he said he bought it at york - probably for tuppence)
When is the next york sale?

Was the picture taken of it still in the sale field.makes me laugh when they are so eger to sell they can't wait to get it home.having said that I bought a dp1 advertised on eBay by a dealer .when I rang up about it he said it's in York and didn't make reserve go pick it up from there and pay them
