12" Cat 0 Brinly Plow Refurbish

[sblunier]

I just dropped my 12" cat 0 off at the sand blaster.......should it get painted Brinly white/black or IH red/black (it will get pulled with my red 82 series)?????

Let's hear your opinions.....

So far I have one vote for red, one white, and one Gold Demo......

Steve, I vote Brinly white/black.

 

[bjames]

IH implement blue

 

[kmcconaughey]

Genius!

Steve B -

Since I saw your question on both threads, I'll post my answer both places, too. (Does that make it my $.04?)

I think the white/black would look sharp. There's already a lot of red on the tractor and I think the white would balance out the white wheels and decal stripes. Of course, I've been wrong a time or two before...

Kraig,

A little "old" for the vintage tractor that will be pulling it.....IH stopped using the blue in the mid-60's and went to black.

I suppose I could go the Gold Demo route.......maybe the 1572 needs gold demo paint as well???????

Steve B. You have my volte on going demo gold with the tractor also!!!!

The plow and tractor would look fantastic!!! Perhaps the plow being blue and demo gold?

 

[kmcconaughey]

Steve, that was in response to Bill's post about IH implement blue.

I had already voted Brinly white/black and I'm sticking with that vote.

 

[sblunier]

Laid down some IH 935 white and black paint on plow today......

 

[mhomrighausen]

Steve B. Great to hear of your progress!!!

Pictures next...

 

[sblunier]

Assembled plow this afternoon, after I notched and sharpened the rolling cutter and painted the last few black parts this morning.

Great looking setup, Steve!

 

[mhomrighausen]

Very Nice. Great job!!!

Steve,
Nice set up. Hey I just noticed the chains on the hitch. What are they for?

To keep it stable? Do you need them?

 

[kmcconaughey]

Shultzie, those would be "anti-sway chains", aka "stay chains". Helps keep things from flopping around.

 

[sblunier]

SGT hitch has sway blocks built into the lower hitch frame......my hitch is a GT style hitch that uses sway chains.....

 

[kshultz]

OK, that makes sense.
