[AJD] Was Plow for '35 D, now Model 52 Plow

[Gary Epps]

Thank you Dean and Steve for Plowing 101.  I now know much more about 
plows than I did before.  With the information Dean provided I was able 
to identify a plow a friend had (and I now have) as a model 52.  While I 
can't read the number on the long beam the short beam carries the number 
612 dating it after 1934.  It was dismantled for a move from Virginia to 
Indiana to Missouri.

My friend assures me that it is complete except for the coulters.  It 
looks like there are certainly enough parts to make a reasonably 
complete plow.  Now I have to figure out how it all goes together.  Can 
anyone direct me to a copy of a manual for this plow.  I don't require 
an original, what I need is a copy that will help me get it together.

A question for those of who have restored a plow.  Do you use a shiny 
spray finish or do you use a brush?  It seems to me that for an 
implement that will be used, a brushed on coat of paint would be 
accaptable.  What do you do?
