This is a short video of me plowing with my 1939 Allis Chalmers B. The plow is a Allis Chalmers 1-16 plow. Field was a little wet and the carburetor needed a little adjustment, but it does pretty good.
Dad & I rebuilt a '37 B when I was 13-14 (1966-67). Put a Woods mower on it & mowed our 4 acres with it. We also pulled an old disc behind it to work the garden up. Your video brings back memories.
Hey Don, I used to plow with a C quite a bit with a mounted plow from my B had to make up a plow draw bar since the C is wider in the rear than the B, it took a few furrows to get it set right but once it was set it plowed beautiful. My soil has a lot of heavy clay and it has to be just wet enough for the wheels to dig in without spinning, then I found I had about 2 days to get the plowing done before it was to dry. Great video, I hand start my C too it's been that was since it showed up never bothered to fix it it starts right up on the crank
Wow man, you plow when it is dry not in the mud. You will just pack the snot out of your land and it won't drain properly for years, especially in Clay.
I did that 1 furrow just to test the plow...... that field had just finished being cleared from being woods and a guy had just had a dozer in it. That one furrow didn't hurt a thing.
