[QUOTE="arcobob, post: 1264792, member: 4112"] Here are some photos showing my mods and you may spot a few remnants of failed or discarded attempts. The most successful mods in no particular order are:- Adjustable wheel with centre marker Winding cross shaft from the seat, with indicator Narrow frame giving full adjustment of cross shaft Ford skimmers with custom arms Custom rear landside (no thick heal) Countersunk screws in disc Weight carrier to right. Counterbalances wheel when not at depth and stresses linkage in one direction( clockwise) * Marker scales on all adjustments including top link and lift rods on tractor. Wheel mounting moved rearwards Frame lengthened 4" between bodies Front furrow leg adjustable up 1" (drill leg not frame) Quick change rear disc with lynch pin People often ask about the welding on the shins of mouldboards. On any hedgerow plough which has been operated by your average numpty the shins are worm because they cannot set ploughs. I weld 1/4" rod up the front and after several seasons it shows no signs of wear, proving that no appreciable wear is necessary. I include a pic of my disc width checking tool. I must stop now as the website may crash [/QUOTE]
