Had a good day yesterday, for once. Despite being overcast, 32'-39', and the gloomy economic news. Have been looking for a decent 2 bottom plow for the place for the past year. Saw one at the neighbor's estate sale last summer, but him-hawed around, and didn't buy it.
Dropped by a week ago, on the way from town after grocery shopping, and asked the nice lady if she still had it for sale. She said she did and called back with the price, the next day, and I offered her $25.00 more for her trouble.
Picked it up yesterday AM, and had a "ball." It is a simple 2 bottom plow, with 3-points, even had a nice bushing on the top bolt, where the top-link attaches. Stamp on it says, "Ford Model 101", as I know you guys always like the details.
Anyway, hitched it up to the '69 JD 4020, and couldn't wait but give it a couple of 50 yard test runs out in the pasture, when I got home. Worked great after I got it lined up. Always have thought it neat how those moldboards lay that dark soil over....
Anyway, even though I broke one hitch-pin,(was a used one, I had), had a some fun. Plowed about "4", 50 yard rows by the road, and sure enough those rusted shares started to shine up real well! Even took my little disk out and smoothed it out after that, so I could seed in some new grass later this spring. All in all, had a pretty good day for a cloudy, cold, pre-spring day. I told the nice lady "thanks a-lot" when I handed her the check. Sorry this got so long. Thought I'd describe some fun with the tractor, on this seemingly long winter. Take care everyone

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
