Well, I was sitting here last night (working the 12 hr nite shifts this week) and my cell rings and a fellow asked me if I was still looking for the bottom plow on craigs list. He must have looked back a ways as it was probably a good week or so when I posted the wanted item in farm stuff. Had a nice talk with a very nice gentleman and he has a 2 bottom that he will will sell me for a very reasonable price and it is fairly new (he said it still looks new as he only used it a few times before going to a much larger tractor for a 4 bottom puller. He is just cleaning out some stuff so I reckon I hit the jackpot. I will pick it up Sat. and post pics and how much $$$. Hoping the old '52 8N is up to the task.

| Had a guy at work give me a 2 bottom plow. Didn't think too much about it. He told me it was just a old Ford plow and he could use a chain fall from a tree to load it. My eyes about popped out when I saw itwas a 101 2x16. I still gave him $200. for it. By the way, hauled home about 50 miles in the back of a Isuzzu pu. Mike

| I have 1 of these just wondered how much their worth. When it was given to me my dad 89 years old. Made ME polish it with a wire brush then grease it so it didn't rust. Never did use it.

| Like they said, it will fit. I hauled a 2-10 in my
short box. 2 of us muscled it in, I hoisted it out.
they are HEAVY and Tippy so be careful. There was a
post with some plowing instructions on here at one
time that i found especially useful. You will be
surprised at what a little adjustment will do for
the plow. Something about the plow will act like a
rudder on a boat...

| Yes the p;low will fit, but if you have a trailer it
will be easier to load and unload. Also the plow is
a little hard to balance. I had one fall over in the
bed of a truck before I could secure it and it left
a ugly dent in the wheel well. So be careful and
strap it in good and tight.

| Nice score! I know that plowing is out of date as farmers do it much anymore, but it sure is alot of fun. It's good to see an old "N" getting a good work out too. HAve fun with it!
