Chris, I am just amazed at what you and Alan keeping finding at John"s.

 

 

So are we !!!

No I didn't, i said I didn't know what make it is

Here's a couple of photos, not sure what its off but fully adjustable just needs a little tlc

After finding this last week and thinking that must be it now, whats the chances of finding another plough ?

Well today i was almost in the same spot and the digger bucket caught something metal ( wheel weights i thought ) only another plough .

as Norm was the first to ask that his name be put on the next one thats what we did, and put it on his list for the Newby delivery.

That's neat, what chance of finding one of those over here in the UK ??

 

Might have to ask Mr Showman to get his welder out

 

 

 

 

Yeah but we don't get any snow over here

Went along to this show for the day and took a couple of tractors,

not been before and thought it worth the effort as there was some nice exhibits on show.

heres a few photos of what got my interest.

Some nice stuff there, I like the American postal van, handy being right hand drive too

Looks like you had a good display of stuff, sorry I couldn't make it

Merry tiller tool frame Chris

 

The frame is upside down atm

Thanks Chris, I guessed it was but wanted to make sure

These arrived this morning in my postbox.

Many Thanks to Titch for a brilliant job , i spose I'd better get my paint brush out.

Did a little more research on this and it would appear to be a 1972 10" inch plough

Anyone recognise this plough please 

Its on its way Doug. 

Had time to get the plough out of the van and have a better look at it.

Found a id tag under a coat of paint and managed to scrape it off to reveal the maker and serial number, next was to free off the adjuster which didn't take to much.

The wheel was free so i just lubricanted that, i also freed off the bolts to enable height adjustment.

on the hitch end I noticed that was adjustable so freed off those bolts.

The fitting plate bracket thingy is welded on at an angle so i can only assume that when ploughing with the 2 offside wheels in the furrow the plough will be upright, ( your comments please ).

heres some photos 

While your waiting you can make one of these.

Watch out for this arriving shortly Doug

Never seen Chris so excited.   I was at the other side of the barn while he was digging.  Thought I had better go and help him load the trailer.  Went round the barn to see him coming towards me, arms waving and eye's like saucers.   Thought he must have found something red.  Wondered why his feet were wet, thought he had wet himself with excitement, but it turned out that his mouth was dribbling badly.  Had to sit him down and calm him with a cuppa.

 

We must have passed that spot countless times.  The Morris bonnet was surrounded and partly covered by junk so didn't expect anything exciting  under it.  How wrong can we be.

 

Next weeks task is to find something else.

I think we should clear the rest of the wood to see if theres any wheel weights nearby 

And it fits my new hitch.

And the wheel goes round

Spent my usual Tuesday rummaging though the brambles and to my surprise this got uncovered from it's hiding place

Hiya mate and welcome to the forum, first thing to do is get some photos posted then we know what we're looking at.

your get loads of help.

Lucky ive got a few then .

Today was spent modifying the plough to stop it swinging left and right.

welded a small bit of 1/2" plate with 2 bolts and lock nuts similar to my other plough.

see photos 

Your need one of these Doug, PM me your postal address and I'll send it up
