WI Dave said: (quoted from post at 02:44:42 04/10/09) There's an IH 3-16 plow for sale a few miles from my house. It needs some work, and I'd like some feedback on how much it might cost to get it field ready. The tire on the rear wheel is rotten. Will a new tire for the tail wheel be hard to find? Also, it needs 3 new plow points. The shares and moldboards are good, but the points are falling off. Are the points hard to find or extremely high priced? Last, the hydraulic ram is rusty, not real bad, though. Hopefully I explained this halfway clearly. Thanks for any help with this.
The tail wheel can be a trailer tire from your local farm supply store, $30-$60. A really nice bevelled plow tire is available from Miller Tire around $95. Inner tube (10-15).
Since you mentioned the shares are good, I assume you are looking at Plow Chief bottoms with separate points and shares. The points are available from CNH for around 90 the last time I knew. Maybe Crescent Forge and Shovel or other businesses have them. They'll probably be spendy anywhere.
As mentioned in other posts, you can adapt Super Chief throw-away lays to a Plow Chief, and then your lays are available from a farm store for $20.
If you have blacksmith shares, they are around 125 and up where you can find them new.
I guess part numbers off of moldboards would be able tell me if you have something that is exremely odd, or something that you can get parts for.
Don't have experience with rusty cylinder rods. Clean the rust off and go?
And finally, bolts and misc. hardware can add up quickly when getting an old plow field ready.
