Hello-
I am a soon to be new farmer and I am starting off my experience with antique (cheep) farm equipment. my background is as a generator technician so I am well learned in fixing old and broken machinery.
I just picked up a John Deere No 57 plow that appears complete but seized and rusted. Now im am not part of todays throw-away culture and believe anything can be fix, especially old equip that is very basic in design. I plan on stripping this rig down and rebuilding, lubricating, probably remanufacturing parts (as needed.
my question is anyone with experience out there is there anything that I should be on the lookout for while rebuilding this (I don't say restore as this is not lawn art this is to be my plow) any tips any tricks any concerns.....Thanks
