Well I've been playing with the plow on and off for a few days when I have time and it's not bitterly cold. I am having a problem with the left bottoms not pulling true behind the tractor and I am having to steer into the furrow wall to keep the plow from pulling the tractor off track. The right bottoms pull beautifully. The problem is the fact that the landslides are worn out and the left one is actually bent. I was able to get new landslides, left and right and front and rears with wear pads and new heels just 30 miles from my home. A farmers coop ordered parts for another customers plow and the got the wrong stuff. Turns out the incorrect order was the perfect stuff for my plow and I just happened to stumble on to the parts while I was looking for something else.
I guess this weekend will be spent putting on new parts.
Now all I need are new shins and shares and I will be good to go. :D

With luck like that you should buy a lottery ticket.

SHOW ME THE FURROW before you count your chickens.

Good Luck.
