    Dearborn Plow

    i noticed a Dearborn plow at my parents house a few weeks ago. Dad bought it for $150 from a local tractor implement dealer before they went out of business. he said they used it once a few years ago. i was immediately interested in it because its around the same era as my 2N and 8N. i was...

    Rear wheel slack/wobble??

    I am in the process of doing a modest refurbish on my 46 2N. I have noticed if I shake the rear wheels I get some slack, or wobble. It does not seem excessive but the clearance is there. Is this a normal thing or should I troubleshoot it soon to find the issue? I know with the height...
