Posted: 17 Jun 2010 at 7:56am |
I'm going to look at this later today.
Does it look complete? Any suggestions on price?
Thanks for any input.

Dave, price looks fair. I paid Fred a bit more for mine, but it had a cast mowboard which I think makes it more valuable. Fred thought so also. Pictures look like it has the gauge wheel. If not, drop $50 from price. My clairvoyant nature tells me you need a copy of the manual. ??

The plow is now at my house! Took several pictures but I am having trouble uploading them tonight - I keep getting a "Preview path error". The plow appears to be complete, though jury is still out on some of the linkage items. One of the blocks that locks the plow to the front axle has been replaced by a homemade piece, but that looks like it will work. Both the coulter and gauge wheel spin freely. The pin at the front is frozen, but I believe that it can be freed up.
Will try to post a picture later! Would anyone have the instructions for mounting it on the tractor? Thanks much - and thanks again, Dave.

Dave, I hope you get a chance to plow with it. Like I have said before the G is the neatest plowing tractor out there.
Guage wheel to full depth plowing, offset coulter to one half plow depth, angle plow after mounting on axle so it runs level when plowing. Right rear wheel all the way in, front wheel out 12 inches bolts on outside and inside. Plow attaches between angled to level when in ground. Chain to lift link.
With the plow set this way you can plow almost anything with that coulter set properly.
Let us know how it goes.
Good Luck!
Bill Long

Hi Bill - wow - a primer on plow setup on the G right there in one post! Thanks much. My wife asked me what I intended to plow - we live in the woods, so the only plowable surface is the lawn. I think she has a dim view of plowing up the front lawn just for fun, but, hey?!? Why not?

And nice to have one surface within a 1/2 hour drive - doesn't happen often here in Massachusetts.
