Preparing the garden for 2017 the "old school way" with the David Bradley tractor, and the Troy Bilt Horse tiller (Rocky). Also making a furrow with my Planet Jr. wheel hoe.
I am sure that some one has mentioned about adjusting the Youk that holds the plow , but I will say it again, RAISE THE LEFT WHEEL ABOUT 3 TO 4" ON SOME BLOCKS AND WITH THE PLOW SITTING ON A LEVEL FLOOR , ADJUST THE YOUK SO THAT THE LAND SIDE IS VERDICAL AND THE BOTTOM IS FLAT ON THE FLOOR, doing this should help to keep the plow following straight behind the tractor. And always use the smallest pully on the motor you can. Water in the tires could help.
David Bradley tractors are so cool,if you can find one buy it! I bought one to snow plow my driveway and walkway I love it.in the coldest theater it starts with three pulls unbelievable. And its 66 years old and still loves to work!
Dad had one of those in the 50's also. Back then gardening wasn't a hobby it was a necessity It was said the David Bradley would pull that moldbord plow faster than a good mule could pull a similar sized plow. thanks for the memories.
My dad had a David Bradley when I was young and at home. That tractor was a work horse, I used a disc, 8 inch turning plow, cultivator all behind this tractor and no regrets. Made many gardens with it.
We had one back in the 1950s when families planted BIG GARDEN'S I ran one every summer an plowed snow in the winter BACK WHEN MADE IN AMERICA WAS GREAT TO OWN .Now Im sure it would be made in CHINA .
I have one that looks exactly like that one. Original engine. It has a sickle bar mower on it. It's too fast I think. I need a starter cup for it. The air cleaners seem to go missing on most of the ones I've found.
