I could watch this all day. Brings me back to when I was a kid sitting on the fender of my dads series 4 pulling that same model plow.

| Always nice to see that there are still a few around that know how to set a plow. Attending plow days sure makes me wonder at times. |

Nice job of setting the plow, but you really need a fourth bottom there. LOL ------------- Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives. |

A couple times I've gotten my CA and 2-14 to plow that nice. I'm guessing that setting a plow is one of those dying talents. Most guys in the automotive world have never rebuilt an alternator or a starter. For the new stuff, internal parts aren't available, just replace it. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."

That's true. It wouldn't be plowing without having a steering wheel acorn nut implanted into your chest at least once would it? ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian." Henry Ford |

Agreed. And once when subsoiling too. I manage to find a rock with a 2' blade rather than the 14 of the plow.... |

I am no expert but 50 year old plow points is probably part of the problem for most of us.

True statement. My dad always welded a plate to the points instead of buying new. The plow never would pull right.
