Allan: You didn't say but I expect the 145 has either plow chief or super chief bottoms. If they are plow chief you may as well truck it off to the scrap dealer.

Super chief will be quite different, all parts still available. I'm not up to date on prices, however I just bought a plow with super chief bottoms, thus I will most likely find out.

On the sand issue, look at it this way, you clay guys burn a lot more fuel, we just burn up plow wear parts. I can remember plowing with my 5x16 semi-mount, super chief, and it was new share-points every morning. Bear in mind I was pulling it with 656.

Here where I live now it's heavy clay. I just finished rebuilding a 2x12 1 point fast hitch plow, it hadn't been used in 15 years. I plowed 3 acres, and still haven't got the rust cleaned off. In my Nova Scotia sandy loam, an acre and half would have acomplished that. I'm actually out looking for some custom work, just to clean that rust off. Now if you were a bit closer, I could take on the 43 acres, clean up this 2x12 Ace bottom plus my new 2x12 super chief plow. Is it cold in NE, I don't have a cab. I refuse to subject this old carcass to cold weather.

I doubt if I'm competive anymore plowing with 2 bottoms, however I have some parts to pickup from Rusty Farmall in New market IA. But then if I had the tractor and two plows on, it would add to my trucking, especially when I wanted to also call on those Missourians, and help eat their steer. Hal told me I best not be late or Paul, Jimmy and Harley will eat all. Then I don't have the super chief plow home yet. You best make other plans, Nebraska will be frozen by the time I get there.
