Loren, when I got this plow 10 years ago, the moldboards were scoured and polished, but whoever was using it wore into the frogs. I didn't have to repair them, but they could use some building up, which I am pretty good at doing. Initially, I coated with grease to protect them, rustoleum works a lot better and will last for years. I have not used this plow in at least 4 years, never had any darned time to turn some dirt.
I learned from a long time farmer and am proud to say I worked with him for several years, part and full time. His 5-18 IH plow seemed to really do a great job, photos below. Spring planting was a favorite time of year, he just loved being out in the fields and work he did. He never did a lot of fall plowing but used to plant winter wheat here in the same field way back when. I have a lot of fond memories and quite a few photos from when I worked with him and his sons.
Glad you posted about your latest with the fall plowing, fascinating to understand how you deal with the rock ledge, the terrain, soil conditions and all the adjustments and things you are doing to get the results including how the crops come in.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
