Scrap into Middle Buster plow

Outstanding......
By the looks, you have used it to the full depth of the shank to the braces.
If that is what you needed at the moment, great.

Like said, time to improve, innovate, remodel, rebuild later...

Good luck.

I think for my next attempt when I get the time ill build a tool bar for a hiller or row cultivator using some of what I learned on this. Just got to see what kind if materials I can turn up to work with. Rebar is easy to get, but the deformations make it difficult to work with. And dang, the price of new steel stock is out of this world.

Fantastic! Who cares if it don't look like something that came off the john deer assy line. People laugh and joke about some of my junk pile builds all the time but sometimes a man has to do what he has to do to get the desired work done. I still have people who don't believe I got that huge steel tower not to mention the 1700 lb beam sitting on top of it that is now inside my pole barn, all by myself and without the aid of any kind of tractor or crane. I got it done by using what scraps I had and a lot of trial and error.

Every time you drop that tool in the dirt and it plows a nice long straight row you can look back, marvel at the sight while feeling the extra change in your pockets but most of all you plowed it with something you built yourself out of stuff that would have otherwise been thrown out with the trash. Be proud my friend, be very proud!:drink:
