Working on a #8 little genus plow

[Briere]

I'll be asking a lot of questions about #8 little genus plows.

That will be a nice project. Keep us updated on your progress every once in awhile. How about some pictures of what you have to start with.

Welcome to TBN--join the fun.
I have one of those plows--it's a lawn ornament in my front yard.

Thanks for the interest,I never took any pictures yet, but I'll give a little history. The plow had been sitting in the woods for twenty years or more. The tires were rotten and flat, the whole thing was rusted. I bought it for a 100 bucks. The first thing I did was get the tires off the wheels, they looked pretty bad, so I had them sandblasted. They came out solid and are now in primer. 55 dollars for sandblasting.The wheels were cream and I already bought the paint. I got all the hubs off and soaked them in gas for a few days to get the grease off. They still had blue paint on them. The axle on the ground side of the plow looked factory, the other two were a little pitted, but can be cleaned up. The handle on the ground side of the plow is bent not sure if it was made like that? The handles were pained red. The coulters are missing so I will be looking for replacements. There are no bearings everything rides on grease. That's as far as I got.
