Ferguson Single Furrow Plough

I have a Ferguson Single Furrow Plough that needs a new moldboard and the Cat1 pins are badly corroded.

Is it possible to get new pins welded on or is the cost of new moldboard plus repair to pins more than the plough is worth ?

Not massively desirable, can get ploughs on ebay for 300 odd. It is a deep digger type board meant for deep ploughing. I dare say Westlake may have a board or find one for you if you really want one, he'll charge mind!!
Re the pins, it will be just a common Fergie cross shaft, most will have a bit of play by now being 70 odd years old but again Ebay or Westlake. Just undo the 4 U bolt nuts and gently tap the U bolts down and the shaft will fall out.
I am guessing it's to go on your 35?? 2 or 3 furrow Fergie GP plough would be more suited or a Ransomes Robin (with depth wheel) or even a TS59 on 183's if you want to get into match ploughing etc.
A Robin would be circa 750 for a decnt one with Krissteel boards, more for a TS59 and a Fergie General Purpose can be found for 200 odd or cheaper if at the right place at the right time, but you can spend circa 500 doing a Fergie up by the time you put new discs/dubs/shares/skims and skim holders on. Depends what you want to do really.

It came along at the right price, so I may just part it out for parts

Looks a tidy one, Good place to sell it would be the FB Ferguson page, a lot of stuff moves there for apparently good money. A lot of the rarer Fergie stuff is now starting to fetch stupid money. Big sale a couple of weeks ago and the prices were bonkers but then some rare kit for sale mind.

This is a single furrow Ferguson 16A plough.

It was designed for ploughing 12" furrows at a depth of 11" to 12" and was good for reclaiming land.

As to costs, a Ferguson collector may be interested, but the disc coulter does not look like an original Ferguson one. As @MrNoo has said put it on one of the Ferguson Facebook pages.

As for parts, as mentioned Westlake may be able to provided. Would have thought it would be expensive as I don't expect many digger boards and points/shears are still about.

As it is, i would say £100. To get it back up together who knows. :)
