Berth 29,
Not meaning to "pile on" here, but your seasonal storage method for your plow could end up being very expensive. I suggest that before you unhook your plow after use you apply a coating of grease to all the shiny parts including the coulter. Then set it down on a pallet or some treated boards or maybe even something like patio blocks, with enough height to keep everything well off the ground.
Seems like nothing rusts faster than parts that help turn the soil. When I take plows to shows I like to have everything clean and shiny. But with shows that go for more than one day, after one night of a heavy dew, a light shower or heavy rain those moldboards start to rust by noontime next day. So keeping your plow in soil will let moisture do it"s damage and you won"t like the result.
If grease is not your thing, then use spray-on graphite or oil based paint; anything to keep moisture off those expensive parts! Paint will wear off quickly when you start to plow.
You have a nice looking plow! Hope you can enjoy using for many more years.
