Dave, You are good to go!!! Nice plow. Landsides and moldboards are in plenty good shape for plow days...if you are only going to use it for plow days you won"t wear it out in your lifetime. But...you really should find a sandy field (no rocks) and plow until every inch of those moldboards shine. Set it at least 8" deep and run it 3-5 mph (those are slow speed moldboards, not like the ones after 1960). You will need to use a hand scraper (wide putty knife will work) to clean off the moldboards at the end of every run but that will get less and less as the moldboards start to shine up. And that shine will be superior to anything you labor to do by hand. Looking from the rear, the left handle is for depth, the right handle for balance. Set that "ring thing" on the rear curved rod so that the tail end of the rear landside runs 1/4" off the furrow wall (need a driver for that so you can walk alongside to monitor that.); the plow pulls much easier with that properly set as it decreases friction and wear.
You are in for a great time plowing with that rig.
Or just sell it to me and I"ll do all that work! LA in WI
