They deserve a new life

[GreenMtns]

After reading Toolguy's post about the great find in his hedgerow and how it turned out, I thought I would share my restoration projects of the last year with those of you who like old farm equipment.
The plow, a 14A Ferguson, was purchased for $113.00. It has about $250.00 in new parts.
The harrows, Dearborn Lift E's was found at a farm equipment dealers and cost $300.00. It has about $50.00 in new parts.
The pictures show the implements as purchased and as they look now. I am still working on the scrapers for the disks.

Nice. I have a 2 bottom Ford plow identical to yours except that mine does not have the coulter jointers. Mine is still original. I paid $250 for it 2 years ago. I bought it to tear up my back yard to redo it. It has good points but the moldboards are pretty worn. It still works good enough for my little garden that I only plow once a year. They had one in very good condition at the used equipment dealer I bought mine from that they wanted $375 for. Those old plows still bring good money around here. The newer ones with trip bottoms and two piece moldboards really get pricey.

Very nice indeed.

Great lookin' job! I ESPECIALLY like the plows. I'm nuts about old plows. (Some say an unqualified NUTS) Those look like new. The jointers are the hot set-up for plowing sod. (If adjusted correctly) It'S ALMOST a shame to get 'em dirty!

Here's a copy of 3RRL' describing clickable thumbnail, using photobucket.

Sorry to get off track from the original thread... but I'll try to answer this. It might help other TBN members?
First, I always resize the pictures in my computer so they are not too big for dial-up members. I went to this site to get a free Microsoft image resizer. Free Image Resizer Once installed, it is very easy to use and automatically pops up as an option when you right mouse click on a picture in your computer. Then you "re-size" the picture. If you search the web, there are several free image re-sizers to choose from.

Then you can go to this site to get a free web host for your pictures. I use Photobucket...it's free. Free Image and Video Hosting - Photo Image Hosting Site : Photobucket.com

Open an account and upload your re-sized images. There are all kinds of things you can do. I make a folder for each topic and upload my photos into that folder. Just follow the directions...it's pretty easy once you get used to it.
Once the picture is uploaded, it will appear in your account. Directly below the thumbnail photo is a square box (on the left below the thumbnail). Check that box and scroll down to the bottom of the page. There will be several buttons...choose the one on the far right that says "Generate HTML and IMG code" and click it.
Then a new screen appears with several rectangles...go to the third one down that says "IMG clickable thumbnails for message boards - recommended" and right mouseclick on that.
Also log onto TBN and make a post. Then copy that and paste the stuff from Photobucket into the post you are replying to. If you do it right, when you preview your post, it will show up as a "clickable thumbnail" like mine do. You can (should have) both browsers open ...one logged into Photobucket and for TBN so you can work between the two. Try that.
