I just picked up a 10-1 Dearborn plow (yes, 10-1, not 101!<
It very well may never get used again, but I would like to think I could if I wanted, so I am trying to get it looking near new & am trying to remove the rust from the moldboards. I first used a stiff wire cup brush on my 4 1/2" grinder, then a 40 grit flap disk. It is working, but I am not yet satisfied w/the job I am doing.
Any suggestions how I might get this done? I am thinking naval jelly or muriatic acid, but have never used either. Or do I just keep sanding?
Also, does anyone have a set of the scrapers (jointers) w/brackets that mount on the coulters they would part with? That's the only thing missing on this plow!
