[AT] McCormick plow

[Paul Waugh]

I spent a couple of seasons looking for a single bottom for the NAA Ford.
They brought a premium, any single bottom did. I did buy a case that must
have been special, I gave $150 for it, fellow gave me $200 for it without
even me having loaded it. At that time JD's were bringing $3-400. Finally
ran across one for $175. This was 5 years ago, hate to think what they are
up to now.  Too many old farts wanting to plow just a little piece for old
time sake. More old farts than single bottoms plows LOL

Well Ron, I've sat on a D-10 AC pulling 2 14's long enough to wear out
several sets of plow points.
To completely wear out the moldboard would take a while!

I see some of those plows around in NC from time to time.  Haven't seen one
lately.

Part of the negotiations for my recent purchase of a Super A resulted in my
owning a one-bottom plow.  I can hardly imagine sitting on one of those
little tractors plowing long enough to completely wear out a plow, but
someone certainly did.  The share and moldboard are completely shot.  It
looks to me that I should just locate a moldboard and share from a newer
plow to bolt on the good plow frame/beam.  I am looking for thoughts and
suggestions. Or new A193 plow parts.
