sparrow legs Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 looks like i may have a problem, there is no rear depth wheel on my plough could it have been removed or was it an extra option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 looks like i may have a problem, there is no rear depth wheel on my plough could it have been removed or was it an extra option? I think most people took them off anyway Mike - certainly for the 2 and 3 furrow versions... not so sure about the 4's mind you \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwross Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Something makes me think the were Huard ploughs. Had a 3 fuurow with no depth wheel. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 update, had the plough in my mates workshop tonight, we got the leveling lever (front furrow adjuster) freed off thanks to a bit of heat (oxy bottles) but found it was bent so its now 95% streight and the support from the top link to the 3rd furrow had a bend in it so we took if off and made it right in the bench press also freed the skimmer bolts so we can put them the right way up, hopeing to go to a ploughing match in feb so its our thursday night project at the local vintage club to get it ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess "technically speaking" you shouldn't need it with the Ferguson system draft control.. although nearly all match ploughmen use a depth wheel on Fergies \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 im not worried about depth wheel, its more that my wheels are set at 72" centres (for hedge cutter not not easy to keep swapping) as for parts i hope i wont need any as the metal is all 70% plus all i need is a new massey ferguson decal for it an possibly a mf 41 one (depends if i shot blast it) as for action it should be been used in anger first week in feb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwross Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Depending on whether you have 12" or 14" furrows you will probably need 56 or 60 inch wheel track settings. Also on ploughs of that era the furrow width needs to roughly correspond to the width of your tyres. Might be able to locate a copy of a manual when get back to work after new year.

sparrow legs Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 thanks for ya replies, marky there aint the 3 triangle logo on it marcus, good idea about the wheel, i like it, expensive option but the easy option and dwross if you had a copy of the manual it would be great marky has sent me the sales leflet on it which was very interesting. new developments have arose yesterday, i have gone halfs with my mate on a 4furrow dowdswell reversable, i know my tractor can plough with it as ive done many an acre with it on my jd (its from were i used to work) its rough but works and for ?100 yet another bargin then today ive had chance of a 3 furrow manual trip ransoms reversable so that may well have to be bought also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
