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!

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
