My conversation with you was a plesant experiance, and you seem like a role model gentelman. Although at this time things did not go as expected you were still very plesant about the whole ordeal.
I will say with plows plugging up we used to get off and kick the crap out of the stalks, perhaps harder than we thought because of the constant challange.
The old trip bottom plows would plug, then the land wheel with the lift would just slide in the dirt so it would not raise at all. We would stare at the first stalk wrapping, then two, three etc. Often you knew that certian amount that was the max for easy cleaning, yet heck no we would just have to chance it unplugging by itself...odds were 1 --100 but ya just were to lazy to get off and do it when it was still easy.
We tried dragging log chains, we tied them with a twine string up high on each bottom, and when it got plugged pretty good we would pull the knot from the tractor seat, thus dropping the log chain on top of the heap. The chain would then get partualy plowed under pulling downward over the pile. That way you avoided getting off the seat till the next time it plugged, thenyou kicked the stalks out with a log chain making things worse. I once doubled the chain back to the seat of the tractor and was going to pull when it started to plug. Dad never did find out how the seat on the tractor got bent, and I never showed him my sore hand either.
Probably took more time than it was worth, but ya had to keep trying something.
By the way did you find out anything about that ford hitch? That is kinda bugging me so I think while I'm trying to avoid income tax preperation I will jump to the ford fourmn.

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
