Hi, All,
I bought a dearborn 10-80 this weekend off of CL. It was astoundingly complete, and wasn't too high - it was less than any fo the 2-14s I have seen around here that are anything better than dog meat.
The only real problem is that hard use wore through one of the cast iron bearing dust caps, so that bearing has a ton of play and I assume needs R+R. Theres a sheared bolt in the 3-point rig, so I am going to want to diassemble a bit to get at the head of the sheared bolt.
Since it will be mostly apart by then, and it doesn't have even the slightest hint of ANYTHING but pitted rust on it, is there any point to thinking about painting it? Short of paying twice what I paid for the plow to have it blasted and primed, is there any surface prep that would be a at all sensible? I only have a week or two to get this back together and in the soil.
The guy selling the 10-80 also had a tired-looking 6-foot Ford 202 for $350. I don't know anything about this disc other than I see posts about bearing being impossible to find. I'd be pulling it with a 601 or a Jubilee. Any comments or suggestions welcome.

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
