[AT] McCormick plow

[Dean VP]

Charlie,

Never quite thought of it that way before. Intelesting!  However,  I think something has to pull the
pushing part though!  :-)  I guess I always think of pushing is when the power to push is behind the
load. Another way to look at this is: The majority of the beam is pulling. Then as the beam turns down
it starts pushing.

wow, that's a rig I've never seen before.  The only tractor
I know that pulls a plow up front is an Allis Chalmers G.
Didn't know anyone else ever did that.   By the way, I read
once that you push a plow instead of pulling it as I've always said.
I guess if you think about it that is correct because the tongue runs
back to the rear of it and pushes it.

Charlie,
     No this one actually pulls from the front axle which I wouldn't
do.  For two reasons.  #1 it looks like a good way to break something
expensive and #2 I don't have that front attachment part anyway.  This
plow is probably from a straight A and I think is an A192 plow.  The
Super A uses the A193 plow that pulls from the drawbar flipped to the
forward position.  Much better idea I think, and I can make that
attachement, or find one and put it on the plow which would be much
easier.  None of it is very tough to manufacture.  Pretty simple and
crude tool.  Must work, though.  It is worn out.
