plow frame set up

[peter lena 8,634]

when setting up a plow or attachment  for initial function /movement check . go over every area  for rust or binding / stiff  response. the lever rod handle linkage is often vague in its snug / lubricated setting . just a squeezing / tightening of the rod bend , to lever and spring pin pull , quadrant slide , tightens up response , red aerosol lubricant , in that pin slide point , and related quadrant to front of frame fit , suddenly gets very easy   magically smooth / easy . then I go after any other related , binding spot , when finished that spring lever handle and blade swing  sounds like a rifle bolt slide , solid / smooth , worth a try , pete

attachment

 

Pete, is that spike aerator your invention?  Or was it a WH attachment?  Either way, looks like a great idea, how's it work for you?  Hard to steer I imagine?  Probably have to lift it, turn, then go straight I imagine?

@Jeff-C175  yes I  made that and the bigger one next to it  over 30 years ago , just used it as a portable work bench , have them in the yard all the time , pile on chain  for penetration , no weight is still , close to 100 lbs , 6" channel steel frame and 3/8 thick spikers , often tandem tow them , scary , picked that metal from a scrap bin , welded it on break time , also 3/8 " thick stainless angle brace bars . pillow block bearings , built them to be rebuilt , only worn out spikers over time . still have a few spares left . back in the day , pete
