Sarthurs01 915 #1 Posted March 19 I decided to take and restore the two 8” plows I had, fun projects to keep the winter months moving along. To my surprise, every bolt came out without a problem! Sandblasted, epoxy primed, and painted they came out pretty good! 3 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 57,481 #2 Posted March 19 Coin collectors pay an arm and a leg for double struck coins, might be able to find some stupid money for this plow. 2 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 64,380 #5 Posted March 19 They look great! If you plan to use them, the first thing you’ll likely want to do is grind off the paint on the plow surfaces, and wipe a little grease on them to keep rust at bay. Bare, shiny plows work better than painted ones. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are going on the backs of the RJs for show, I have a briny all polished up and ready for the Charger 12. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 9,053 #7 Posted March 20 @Sarthurs01 been using penetrating oil / mineral oil on any metal surface forever , also the basis for paint recovery , most important stage is first spray down and soak time , ideally it would be under cover , like a hot sun phase ,then an oiled cloth , rub down , very often retains perfect patina look , never remove original paint . have gently rubbed in lubricant to retain what's there , also do my mower decks . tell me how your metal anything stands up , all my ground engagement attachments get this , life saving maintenance stage, they also get it before a winter sleep ,held up yo a wall frame , bottom side out , for inspection . pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoping to get them refinished this spring if time allows...... No use for them- just to hang back of my show tractors 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blasterdad 2,995 #10 Posted March 20 I lucked out with this one, all I had to do to "restore" it was replace the shaft collar on the coulter & put a new sticker from Terry on it. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
