[AT] McCormick plow

[Ron Cook]

Same here, Herb.  We had several types of soil being in the Missouri 
River bottom.  Some leaned toward sandy and would quickly shine things 
up and wear things out.

This plow I have come by has already had the weld/stellite treatment in 
the past.  Several times, from the looks of it.  Nowhere left on it to weld.
