Even if it's frozen solid it's worth 200 bucks, you could part it out and make 5 or 600 depending how bad it is. Mags can be fixed, not a huge amount to repair or replace. B's are so simple to work on, and so much fun (IMHO) you can't go wrong. Listen to your wife, she's always right, isn't she? lol

I just might take a trip down that way... You could be a real sport and give me the guys name and phone number?? LOL Get over there and give him the money before either a) he changes his mind or b) your wife does!! Good Luck and post pics e.g. before and after.

What is a shank plow? Is that a term for a moldboard plow, or is it something else? I know some terms are regional and that is one that I have never heard.
