saved from the scrapper

Brought this plow home from the scrapper, looked way too good to be melted down!  It's a 2000 semi mount 5 bottom, it's sat outside for awhile but it's pretty well all there - rolling cutters, cover boards, even had the factory hitch pins tied to it. :)  Got the wheel bearing fixed and found an old cylinder layin around.  gotta get a new hydraulic hose n it'll b ready for plowin!  we have a 4 & 6 bottom 2000 so this oughtta feel right at home.   should i taek a wire brush to the bottoms for the rust?

I used an electric disc sander on my 53 when I got it. Just lightly go over each moldboard a little at a time and eventually the disc will be built up with enough gunk it'll polish more than grind. Then I went out and plowed 10 acres of sandy clay hills and clean the moldboards off at the end every time I picked the plow up. Kept it coated with plow coat or slip plate ever since and it's always ready to go.

Nice find around here any 4 bottom and up has been selling for $500.00 and up there is alot of CRP ground comming out this fall i think thats what people are wanting them for.

Auto transmission fluid. Nice plow! Really bothers me to see some people send something like that for scrap! I know people get desperate for money, but sell it to someone who will use it. I saved an IH 550 from scrappers last fall, and used it for recreational tillage!

any interest in parting with that add a bottom it has??  Love to turn my 6-18 into a 7-18  Assuming it has  the 18" bottoms.

very nice plow Floyd. check around for the availibility of replacement plow shares in case you break the tip off one. i've had a devil of a time getting anything for my 60 series plow. would bet your plow will really turn over any residue without pluggin up.
