Did a little plowing a couple days ago. D17 pulled the mounted 3-14 quite well after the tune up. Moleboards were very rusty but still pulled it in the low side of 3rd. Where it was drier and less vegitation, it would pull it in the high side. The ground is black silt in a creek bottom.

Quite pleased to say the least. That tractor had not been run that hard in a long time.

Altinator, electronic ignition and negitive ground seem to be working well. Jody

Light cheap paint job really worked well, came off easy. But any rust and it took several rounds to scour. Even when our soils were very dry. Experience proved it the best choice especially if the plow was stored outside. grease and oil did not last our winters here in Indiana.

They have started to polish. Rust is gone and they are Black and smooth. Can't comb your hair in them yet... Got rained out before we finished so were going to take it back to the shop and finish the polish with air tools... I picked up some teflon plant to keep them protected in the future. Plowing is about the only way we can get rid of the trash left our food plots we leave standing. The other way is matches, but that gets a little hairy...

I need to order new shares and land slides. This ole plow has seen some miles....

A very enjoyable afternoon.

In our clay loam soils when I was a kid Dad never let a plow get rusty or you were in for some tough plowing for a long time before they would scour as Dad put it. He painted them with a low quality aluminum paint at the end of each season. Used grease if we were rained out for several days. He once purchased a very rusty plow at a sale and used muratic acid to clean the moldboards before using it to plow and it did (scour) very quick with just a couple of rounds even in clay loam.

Been a long time since I did any plowing with a moldboard plow. Never went that fast when I did. When I went in third, it threw the dirt too far.

Bet it was fun to do this. I've got a 4-16 for mine that needs some repairs before use. I don't have a need to plow and have so many rocks that probably can't anyway. Might try it on a lark some time just for fun.

Did the moldboards clean up with use?

I don't think I have ever known anybody in these parts that has ever bothered to protect the 'shine' on moldboards. The rust disappears pretty quick once the plow starts turning dirt. A couple passes and they are honed shiney like new quarters. I'd think paint would be harder to scour off than a coat of rust. If it's a concern..I'd slop on some grease before i would paint.

That's is what we did in the fall. I believe we just put drain oil on them. But we only left them for one winter. As you say, even if we forgot, they were shiny after the first round. Some of these we have now have been without attention for 5 to 30 years. That makes quite a difference.
