Tripped plow part 3

Paul Shuler · Oct 15, 2021

Well it's fixed. I tried being gentle with a 6 ton jack and moved it about an inch before my jack maxed out. Took SVCummins advice and found a big Mulberry tree and a long heavy chain. First attempt just putting pressure on it spun the tires. Put about 6 of slack in the chain and when it hit the end of the slack it snapped back in place so fast I missed seeing it. . Thank you all so much for all the advice. Would like to pull the bolt and clean it up but saving that battle for another day.

I would probably park it where you can soak the bolt with your favorite penetrating oil as long as its not wd 40 and give it a good soaking every few days . Never understood why ih didnt put a grease zerk in that bolt like John Deere did on their plow . That plow is a good plow and the trip mechanism is pretty simple on it . The parts for it are extremely expensive the latch is almost 200$ last I checked then the leave springs are about 20$ each there are 3 usually from the factory you can add more then there is the special bolt that holds the leaf springs . Its nothing to hit a big rock and brake a latch a couple Leaf springs and brake the special bolt do that a few times and it gets spendy quick . I have a feeling your not probably doing a lot of plowing with it and probably not that many rocks .

Good to hear you got it. This is a great place to hang out and get more education than one may realize.

That bottom needs a new landslide too.

(quoted from post at 09:53:09 10/16/21) That bottom needs a new landslide too.

And 1/2 a hour with a polishing disc on the moldboard too.
