I need some help. I'm a new farmer and I do a lot of Moldboard plowing because we are organic and that is our weed control. We moldboard 100 to 200 acres per year. I bought a Massey Ferguson 57 Roll over plow to speed things up (4 bottom 16 inch). It has been a blessing and an absolute curse.... I can not get the latch to hold the land wheel down in only one direction. I moved the bushings around and I could not duplicate the problem on the other side so I know the bushings are not bad. It seems the wheel assembly has a lot of play and when you hit a bump the latch pops off (on only one side). Tried buying new latch but MF does not make them anymore (go figure). I had a machine shop put a nice new edge on my current latch and it approved it about 20% but still not great. Than I put a smaller bushing in so the latch would grab more of it... Improved but did not fix. It pops every 100 yards or so. Driving me insane and I'm ready to put it on the rock pile. The wheel axle has A LOT of play. It looks like that is why the latch is only getting 50% hooked. Nothing appears bent and if the Wheel Assembly was to sloopy you think it would pop out running both directions. Any ideas anybody? Andy body have an old 57 with a latch they would sell. Thank you!

In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
