On the John Deere plow . And been working all day changing press wheels on the lz1010 John Deere unit drills . This drills has been parked for about 12 years and I?ve been watching patiently at the salvage yard until I could find some good used press wheels . Finally some came in and they don?t look like they have ever seen an inch of road travel

Pull those plows a few hundred yards in the red clay here and they'd shine like a baby's butt covered in Goldwater and shined with Johnson Wax as they used to say back in 1964.
 
Clean shiny plows are about the only thing I miss about farming on the east coast. You could pull any old plow out of a fence row and after two rounds it would shine like a mirror. My nice heavy rock and stone free soil here you need a perfect plow bottom to even think of turning it over. I now understand why John Deere's steel plow was such a big part of opening up the prairie. Tom
 
When we plowed every year we never painted or greased plow bottoms and buy dinner time you couldn?t look at them without a welding helmet the old dry clay will polish them up nice .
 
Hmmm, must of gotten rained out on that 150 acre plow job you were headed out to last Saturday? I?m pretty sure you wouldn?t have finished that job yet with a 3 bottom plow. I do see the one you painted is different then the one in that post which was a 2 way. I don?t know maybe you haven?t started that job yet.
