I just might have to try to make it down. I might even have the D17D back together by then. May have to bring the trusty CA though.

This is just a update on the ground prep. I brush-hogged the corn stocks down and will disc them today and Friday so we can plow them under on plow day.

I got the two front tires on the plow and am waiting for the tailwheel tire and tube. The old plow has been sitting in a fencerow since the late sixties but everything is in good shape. I am going to shine the shears and moldboards with a wire brush however I have a MRI next week and have to wait until thats over. The plow ain't orange but it takes BIG Orange to pull it. I will be happy just to make one round to say I did, my grandfather was the last one to turn dirt with this combo fifty or so years ago. I'll post a picture of it later and look forward to making some pipe music.
I do believe I might have pinched the tube on one tire.
This may require a gas can on each end and one in the middle depending on the length of the field!

Well Dave, With the long list of tractors and plows you have that can make it hard to decide from. LOL I'd like to see your WC do a little plowing so just load it up and come on down the sixth of next month.

Michael just load it up and we will see you them.
And Thanks guys for letting me know about tractors and a head count for lunch. FYI lunch is going to be hamburgers hot dogs and a big bowl of chili and Dad's making pies too. So if you are coming to plow or just coming to watch please let me know a head count for lunch.

Don - assuming work lets me come and weather lets me bring the balloon it will likely be just Lucas and me. Mike
PS...that one field looks like it doesn't need plowed after brush hogging the stalks and discing it! Go get some lime spread on first so we'll have a good reason to turn the dirt over! Mike

Don, you need to plow in 2nd. Plowing in 3rd is too fast for those small tires.

The plow is really worth more if you can save the factory tire! Looks like you were getting an early start from the shine on those moldboards, I couldn't pospone the fun either...Harvey

Don...I'm with Joe O. on this...you had better slow down some with that tractor! LMAO! I thought you would have bought a new tire before now anyway. At least I see you got the plow shares shined up some. Oh...and make sure you don't have all the ground plowed up before the plow day! The rest of us guys might want to do some plowing too! See you the 6th! Rick

Well guys I didn't think the old 45 had that kind of HP to just rip the tread right off the tire. I will look at the duct tape, spray foam fix but I'm thinking a new tire might make the long range plain for this plow look better on paper. I think the DOT needs to place a expiration date on tires! lol
Rick, I left you guys some ground to plow. lol

That tire will be -out of balance-and possibly cause the plow to "porpoise".

I started tuning up my old plow yesterday, it seems that I am going to need to try weights on the WC. If I get to a soft spot it can dig to China pretty quick. I am thinking that a pair of 161's will help. I started making the weight clamps yesterday and will finish this morning and will give it a spin and see what happens. I have almost got the plow adjusted where I want it. Dave.

Rick, Looks like we will have ten tractors here. and a lot of good AC friends too.
Dave I'm thinking (and you know we are all in trouble them that happens) That a set of weights on the back might help.
I picked up a new tire and tube today spent a ton on the old plow at $ 33.50 for the pair. The good thing is it's back on the ground and that makes three plows ready to go.
and I have three more plows just in-case.
Don
