[QUOTE="mike.l, post: 6266598, member: 11839"] Hi i plow with a david brown plow a BE model so not far different to yours and i use a nuffield universal 3 but have plowed with a 4 cyl for a little time . i have very little problem with the plow, I have made the rock shaft 4" wider it is a simple task i removed the ends. cut the shaft put them in the lathe bored a 1" hole in both ends cut a piece of shaft 6" turned it down to !" both ends. made them a press fit lined up the sq ends pressed it together and then welded it solid never had a problem with it from there on. I have long boards for it but i found i could not stop the soil going over the back of the moldboards making the next front furrow a bit odd. Changed to standard and never looked back have been winning a few matches and came 2nd in the international in my class last year. i find it a great plow. This year i have bought a international plow and that is giving me all sorts of problems with the front furrow have not got it sorted yet think its got to have a wider rock shaft to get over far enough. But i like the ace bottom moleboards as they clean the bottom of the furrow better , and pack a little better, think i am going to park them in the same shed see if they would cross breed then i would have a good plow. Yes there is a piece of round stock to keep the ends on just drive it out. mike [/QUOTE]
