harryt 281 #4 Posted April 25, 2017 Great find Chris, are you going to restore it? I restored mine about a year ago, they do come up nice, it looks like yours was originally cream? 2 the showman and Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan 1,273 #10 Posted April 25, 2017 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. 4 Cub Cadet, Triumph66, the showman and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we should clear the rest of the wood to see if theres any wheel weights nearby 2 DougC and Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the showman 4,074 #15 Posted April 27, 2017 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 8 nigel, Alan, pmackellow and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #16 Posted April 27, 2017 Your most likely right about the bracket being at an angle. Sounds reasonable. 2 the showman and Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cub Cadet 613 #17 Posted April 28, 2017 Our Wheel Horse plows have exactly the same bracket at an angle, when we've ploughed and the wheels are in the furrow the plough has been vertical so looks good to me. 2 the showman and Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the showman 4,074 #18 Posted April 29, 2017 Did a little more research on this and it would appear to be a 1972 10" inch plough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the showman 4,074 #21 Posted May 2, 2017 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. 2 Stormin and Alan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
