[QUOTE="keith armitage, post: 4242590, member: 870"] I think Neilo had a picture very like that plough? I'm not sure what the difference in the skimmers is. My guess is one type is for stubbles and the other for lea. In my experience the round skimmer stalks are better as they can be adjusted sideways as the skimmer points wear, whereas the flat ones can only be adjusted up and down and along the beam. They were hard to hold in position along the beam. I'm not sure how old your plough is, my guess would be 1960's. The board markings are right behind the support bar, pretty much in the middle of the board, try using a small wire brush. [/QUOTE]
