Had a good day yesterday, for once. Despite being overcast, 32'-39', and the gloomy economic news. Have been looking for a decent 2 bottom plow for the place for the past year. Saw one at the neighbor's estate sale last summer, but him-hawed around, and didn't buy it.
Dropped by a week ago, on the way from town after grocery shopping, and asked the nice lady if she still had it for sale. She said she did and called back with the price, the next day, and I offered her $25.00 more for her trouble.
Picked it up yesterday AM, and had a "ball." It is a simple 2 bottom plow, with 3-points, even had a nice bushing on the top bolt, where the top-link attaches. Stamp on it says, "Ford Model 101", as I know you guys always like the details.
Anyway, hitched it up to the '69 JD 4020, and couldn't wait but give it a couple of 50 yard test runs out in the pasture, when I got home. Worked great after I got it lined up. Always have thought it neat how those moldboards lay that dark soil over....
Anyway, even though I broke one hitch-pin,(was a used one, I had), had a some fun. Plowed about "4", 50 yard rows by the road, and sure enough those rusted shares started to shine up real well! Even took my little disk out and smoothed it out after that, so I could seed in some new grass later this spring. All in all, had a pretty good day for a cloudy, cold, pre-spring day. I told the nice lady "thanks a-lot" when I handed her the check. Sorry this got so long. Thought I'd describe some fun with the tractor, on this seemingly long winter. Take care everyone

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
