[AJD] Plow wheel removal

[Cotton Family]

Our 44 got totally torn down, as it sat outside for at least 13 years...
It originally had the metal rear wheel but it is thin on one side as it
sat in the dirt.. Did find a rim and put a pneumatic tire on it... If
the frame is in as good shape as you say, I would leave it personally...
I think the future will hold better for un restored things if they are
in good shape.. I would split the lifting clutch and repack it though...

Dennis,

Got off lucky this time.(for once) Plow appears to have been shedded
most of
its life. No real heavy rust, paint mostly intact, and decals still
readable. Don't know if original or older restoration. Can tell that
wheels
have been repainted, but not sure about frame. Due to restoration of
equipment has only become popular in recent times, it may be a good bet
that
it is original. Anyway, I'm torn between stripping it down and
re-painting,
or leaving as is. Tire on the wheel that I was removing was totally shot
and
needed to be replaced. Could have been done  while still on plow, but I
thought it would be easier to take the wheel off. (Teach me to think)

Seems like I have seen the pics before, but didn't remember the movies.
Some
good footage of plowing. Looks like you did a good job on  that plow.
Was
sure turning the soil. I enjoy plowing our garden and sometimes wished I
had
more acerage to plow. I suppose after several 8-10 hour days, the fun
would
wear off.

Duane
