I HAVE AN OLD FORD 2 BOTTOM 14" PLOW THAT HAS SET AROUND FOR AT LEAST 30 YEARS WITH NO PROTECTIVE LUBRICANT AND NO USE. THE MOLDBOARDS HAVE LIGHT TO MEDIUM RUST. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO MAKE THEM SHINEY AGAIN? 1) GRINDER WITH WIRE WHEEL. 2) ROTARTY AIR WITH SANDING PAD. 3) SAND BLAST. 4) OTHER SUGGESTIONS. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. PHILIP.

Also.. after initial cleaning.. if you have some sandy soil, plow that first. It does a great job of scouring.

Go buy yourself a gallon of muriatic acid.
nomally used to clean mortar from bricks.
about $2 a gallon. Put on your rubber gloves, and your saftey glasses, and brush a good coat
of muriatic acid on it, watch it fizz, and go plow. may need to do it more than once .

I just did the same with a wire wheel. It doesn't take any metal off the moldboards. You don't have to polish the plow with it, just remove the loose rust and dirt, then put the plow to use.

Well, the _best_ is to find some sandy dry ground & plow for 30 minutes....

I would not do anything like grinding to thin the metal, as they wear out quick enough. I would not want to introduce scratches on the metal, as that will hold soil as well as the rust. Otherwise, just try to polich it up some & try using it. An 'old time' method was to dip a gunny sack in ashes & polish with that...
