[AT] RE: Land slides (plow parts)

[Andy Glines]

Yes the landslides are important.  Without them the plow will push itself 
out of the furrow.  Look at them closely and you will see a part which is 
easily reproduced.  Most landslides are just flat steel with holes in it.   
I have a 2-14 Little Genius plow that had worn out landslides.  A coworker 
made me new ones out of 3/8" thick cold rolled steel (what I think of when I 
see CRS in a post).  He used the original ones to transfer the hole 
locations to the new ones.  The steel may not be as durable as the original 
but you probably won't have any problems with hobby use.  If "original" 
parts aren't readily available consider making your own.
