I went up to the farm shop yesterday, where I could get out of the rain to work on the plow. It needed all new shears and I had to put the #2 bottom back onto the plow. I repaired the frog the day before. The brace between the landside plate and moldboard support broke off when the bolts broke and the side of the frog had a big crack down along the mounting holes. I fixed that all buck up down in my shop. Kevin and I replaced all the shears and welded pieces of the old shears onto the worn landsides. The moldboard brace was also missing on the 4th bottom, and Kevin found a similar one stashed away in the farm shop. We modified it a bit and bolted it on.
After the repairs we went over a lot of the bolts on the plow and found several of them that needed tightening. We got it all greased up and then dropped the engine oil in the 930 and serviced that.
Now just waiting for the rain to stop so I can get back to plowing.
Kevin is going to grease up the bottoms of the Kneverland 6 bottom plow and put it away. It does a horrible job of plowing, leaving half turned furrows. I have spent hours trying to get it to pull straight but to no avail. the whole thing dogs off to the LH side. It is just built wrong. Instead of the main draft beam being hooked to the frame around the 3rd bottom, it pulls from the 5th bottom. I truly think that this modular plow frame was designed to be a much bigger plow.
