plow pics

[Josh Vaughan]

This is the set of plows I found last week, Missing some parts but I think they will work.

 

[Josh Vaughan]

Not the orginal color, but I had lots of red paint left over.

Sure is pretty, what do you have to pull it? I would like to post some pics but not too computer savey.

 

[Anonymous-0]

Did you sandblast it or just paint?

 

[Josh Vaughan]

Wire brush on a 4" grinder, Did not get to fancy with these. Going to put them to work this spring. I am going to shine up the moldboards right before I start plowing.

Josh,

Do you have some sandy soil or a sand pile or gravel pile? My Uncle would "shine" up the plow (I now have) by pulling it thru and old mine shale pile on the farm. I have forgot what I used when I last used the plow but then when I "put it away" I bought a big can of Crisco and slathered that ALL over the shares to help keep them from rusting.

They were pretty rusty when I got them but I was surprised at how shiny they got after using them a bit. You would have to work vary to hand or machine polish them as well.

Regards,
Larry

Soil here is tough, Probably hit them with the wire brush and some sand paper prior to trying to cut some ground.

Got the old 8n to pull em with, Photos are pretty easy. I am still learning myself.

She'll shine up pretty well once you go to plowing. Would be nice to find a set of coulters if you're going to plow sod - looks like they were on it at one time in the past.

I would love to find a set of coulters, let me know if anybody has a set laying around!!

Geez, you're quick. Mine have been waiting for over a year for paint!

Looks good, though.
