Found these on local C-list. He had several other plows, they all sold. Still has some tractors for sale, at least he did when I pulled out. Link to D-14; https://desmoines.craigslist.org/grd/d/grinnell-allis-chalmers-tractor/7229534414.html D-17; https://desmoines.craigslist.org/grd/d/grinnell-allis-chalmers-tractor/7229532723.html D-15; https://desmoines.craigslist.org/grd/d/grinnell-allis-chalmers/7229531699.html I got a 63, 3-14's, 62, 2-14's, and, (I think) a 73, 3-16's slat bottom. Spent the afternoon freeing up the lift links, three were stuck, a little heat and all adjust like they should.
Need to start a list of parts to get from Dave.

Regards, Chris [/QUOTE Chris, I now have more Orange plows than tractors to mount them on, May have a problem! When I find good ones at a fair price they seem to come home with me.

Kenny, the 17 he told me the P/D is weak. Paint is a little funky, and has some oil drips. Really a pretty good looking tractor even though the paint doesn't shine. If I thought I needed a S-4 17 it would already be here. The 15 is pretty cool too. Lack of shed space after the windstorm has me slow on tractor acquisition.

Decent weather here today. Shined up the middle and front bottoms on the slat. Adjusted the coulters, and got her in the shed.
I'm going to build a depth wheel for this plow, have a good piece of steel for the frame. Will use a spindle/hub from a WD.

Spent some time working on the 73 today, installed cover boards and gauge wheel. Worked on the rolling cutters. Mounted on the 45 and got it set, (hopefully). If the weather holds it will be plowing in two weeks. Couple pics and one of the cultivator I got from KennyL.

Mike, the boss and I were talking and I told her I had bare spot down by the barn and I need to fill it back up with something orange, guess what she said, that right I could just move one of the other orange pieces that she could see from the house then it would be one less pieces of junk that she would've to look at. Just kidding she is pretty understanding. It was good visiting that day. I'll give you a shout out it I come down to Colfax.

Ted, as things stand right now and assuming the weather holds..... I will be in Reedsburg with the 45 and model 73 plow on the 24th. Probably leave here early and drive up, find a motel, then home on Sunday. This is kind of contingent on getting my corn in on the 22nd and 3rd.

Ted, if the weather/ground don't warm up around here I may put off planting corn a week. If that happens I'll head your way on Friday. 45's full of fuel and ready to plow!
