Plow paint

[Anonymous-0]

This past weekend I plowed my mom's garden with a JD A and 2-bottom sulky plow. FUN! There used to be a product similar to paint that was applied to the moldboards and shares to keep them from rusting between use. It was black and was applied with a brush. Does anyone know what that product was and whether it is still available? If not, what can be used in its place? I coated the parts with grease but don't think it will stay in place very long in the elements. Thanks.

Deere still sells it in spray or brush on. They call it "Soft Black Coating". Part numbers are listed.

==============================================

Soft Black Coating (TY25637, TY25622, TY25676)
·Non-drying, low-gloss enamel for use as a temporary coating over metal

·Protects tillage tools that contact the soil (plow bottoms, disk blades, sweeps, and shovels) from rust and corrosion

·Scours clean quickly when the implements are put into service

Note: Soft black coating should never be top-coated with a permanent primer or enamel.

This JD soft black paint is great. I painted all my equipment with it. I would buy it in gallons cans and use my paint sprayer to put it on with. At my auction everyone could not believe my equipment that look like new and I got top money!!!!

The best thing I have found is the cheapest dull black rattle can spray paint you can buy. NOT primer. The cheap paint protects good and comes off in the first 100 feet when you drop the plow in the ground. Bob
