Just thought I'd share...I'm catching up on projects, and finally picked up some new hardware, and painted a few pieces so I could reassemble my Brinly plow. I had taken it apart and had it sandblasted and powedercoated back around New Years. That project gave way to winter activities and now that the ground is thawing, I had to wrap it up. I'm eager to get it adjusted and give it a try. Curious how the finish with hold up too.
Shown with my homemade sleeve hitch, which works fabulously with my cultivator.
Any other improvements/additions for garden work that we could look at??? =] |

| Thanks! I wish I had a before picture. It was the worst one Ive ever seen, and pulling it apart was extremely.difficult. I had.nothing into it, so I went with the cheapest powder...black. Its my first plow, and man is that thing heavy. |

 Josh. Paint looks good but I hate to dissapoint you. You do not want paint on the plowshare or moldboard. The dirt will stick and build up. Share and moldboard should be shiny. If you have sandy ground it will scour quickly and you will be OK. Otherwise you should clean and polish those surfaces. When finished plowing coat exposed surface with grease to stop rust.

I picked up my first plow last spring...
it was a newer brinley... obviously used just a couple
of times.... use it and that share and board will look
shiny..!!! you'll love it.. as for what doesnt get polished
off with a few uses... hey ... corrosion protection...
you'll love the natural polish.. and hey.. paint if you dont plan
to use for years.... but is that EVER the case??
use it... youll love it..
dont be like me as a kid... get a new baseball and not use it
cause it'll get dirty... i am still getting over that issue in my life...
i love these tractors to look like new... but in my case.. I do it right..
then i get it dirty...... just part of my process... |

| I wanted to start feesh, and break her in myself. The.only thing painted is a few bolts, the rest is powdercoated, and after it wears, the share will flake and exposed metal will polish nicely...thats assuming i get some miles on it! |

| One thing you need to do is back the jamb bolts out on the sleeve hitch so the plow can flop back and forth. If the mount is ridgid you will find the plow steering the tractor rather than vice versa and you will not be able to plow a straight row. That is why I use a chain lift on my plow mated with the old style hitch but the new hitch will work fine if you back off the bolts. Btw that plow will certainly win the beauty pagant. |

| Yeah, I quickly found those bolts help me when I'm moving it around...in and out of the garage, etc. I nearly flopped that thing against the side of Momma's new suv, and she'd have sold every last tractor part had I done that! There's a lot of flop to it, when it's in midair, but I do plan on backing them out for use in the dirt. |

That is the very reason I went back ton the chain lift in the moldboard plough....I wiped out a section of picket fence when the plow flopped. It would do a number on a car. Ouch. |

With any luck, I canget some dirt on the thing after work. I'll only have 10 minutes or so to play, at most, but we'll see what we can do. I have some awefully tough, unbroken ground where I would like to extend my garden. It will be a good test, and I'm getting behind after breaking the B110. I'd love to try out the 209 too...

Ha! Yeah, the starter belt was broken when I picked it up, and I'm currently tearing the tractor down for a rebuild. It's my Big Ten, and I tell ya, that auxillary starter works great! Full choke, one pull...two if it's sat for a week and it's below 20 degrees. Purrs like a kitten...
If I can keep my project moving (and I need to, simply to free up garage space), we'll have pics of a Hydrolift, HiLo, Big Ten/L10 in prime form. I need to get to work making some TIME first!
I picked up a brand new furrower for a rear tine walk behind tiller on ebay for $0.99, and will be looking for a way to mount it to the cultivator or Brinly frame as a towable hiller. The thing is adjustable, and is over a foot and a half wide. I was suprised how heavy and nice it was...still in the plastic.
I wouldn't mind a cultivator like yours too...thing that would work OK with rippers attached? |
