[AT] Plow scouring

[Rob Wilson]

It wasn't very dry when we tried since it's rained almost every other day
for the past few weeks around here. The ground I was trying was black as
peat moss. The dirt stuck like glue and we only had about an acre or so to
try it in. I'll pick some paint up and get it on there as soon as I'm done
finally getting it scoured. Thanks for the tip. We usually just put some
cheap paint on after we're done for the year.

	Don't bother trying to get rid of the rust. Just be sure it is dry
and fairly clean and spray or brush on a coat of graphite paint (Slip-Plate
etc.) and let it dry good. It will scour instantly and the dirt will wear on
the paint until the rust has had time to wear off. You can buy the graphite
paint at almost any farm store like TSC. We originally used it to paint the
inside of hopper wagon beds (don't try to stand on it) for ear corn. I later
got to using it on shovels and all kinds of other stuff including plows. It
works great on sickle mower bars and guards too. I have also used it to
paint the underside of lawn mower decks.
