Ford Model 101 3 Bottom Plow

[sixdogs]

Various pics for you. Excuse the dog pic--I can't figure out how to remove it. He loves eating soft snow. photos of next model up in ford plows and an old beam from a scrap plow. Saw at an auction yard.

you can pound out the dents in your rolling wheel. just take it off, get a ball peen hammer and an anvil and tap away from the inside out. Works great.

I edited with comments on rolling landslide dents in yours.

Do the shear bolt heads have two flats and two round ends?

I have only seen spring trip shanks but Ford loved to use proprietary bolts for everything and round heads with two flats would be typical. You have some loose frame bolts in the photos so tighten those and oil the beams so they can trip easily.



Also, here are pics of a tailwheel--rolling landslide--that was bent worse than yours. A hammer, anvil and tap, tap, tap until it looks right. I might have heated it as well.

Brandi, My family lives in Brookshire, Tx just west of Houston and have a weekend place near Richards, Tx which has the same sandy East Texas Piney Woods type soil you show in your pictures. That soil is extremely well drained and has a acidic pH. It is great for high Bush Blueberries and Sassafras trees. We collect pounds of Blueberries off our property in Summer and make Sassafras tea from the tree roots and " File" from the dehydrated leaves.

Brandi, good luck with the new plow, there seems to be a learning curve to getting it set up right. I picked up a 2 bottom right after Christmas and hit my garden with it before the ground was frozen too badly, I agree with you plowing is a lot of fun.

6dogs,
I will put a wrench on everything. Maybe today. It is a wet, gate building day here. If I want to keep the plow and use with my Mahindra.............what do I do about the left hitch mount? With it being cat 1 and the tractor cat 2?

Charlie,
Thanks. I really didn't get a chance to a good wiff of dirt............but I will. Well, it's out to the barn now.
