Picked up my new to me 8" slot hitch plow for a Wheel Horse, I think it's a Brinly plow.

Nice plow Brian! Definitely Brinly. You got it up there in Indianer?

Nice plow and complete! Congrats!

Looks just like KK's. Are you going to just show it, or are you planning on plowing with it?

This was a plow I thought was over by Indianapolis. I bought it last week and when I called the guy yesterday, he said he was up by FT. Wayne. So Dad and I got a 3 hr up and 3 hr back road trip. We don't usually get that much time by ourselves, so it was a very nice little trip to pick up the plow.

We have a 857 WH that I am going to set up for one of the guys to plow with at a plow day, if I can get one organized.

On KK's, we had to put a wood shim in between the left side of the plow hitch and the inside of the slot on the left to hold the plow over just a little. I think it was a cumulative wear situation, but it made the plow want to jump out of the ground in hard spots. With the shim, it did much, much better.

What is the width of the hitch on that one? It looks narrower than hers...

Great looking WH plow!

Alan, it appears to be about an 1 1/2" wide. They have a shim welded on one side of it and have washers under the plow mold board to shim it offset for some reason.

[MH81]

Yep, seen a lot like that. KK's is spacered now too. The slot has so much wear, it won't follow true without doing some "creative adjustments".

Looking at the piece on the side, it looks like it was welded to keep that side from twisting to the left & going in to far... Same as the wedge system we use, but more visible.

Nice plow, Brian! Have fun with it!

Looks like a nice little plow and complete also, a bunch of the plows made for the garden tractors were made by Brinly
or had Brinly parts on them and other attachments too

[daytime dave]

Looks like a great little plow. Congratulations Brian.

It must be nice being somewhere you can actually find garden tractor stuff, huh Brian. I love searching Craigslist ads in Indiana, because there is always neat GT stuff for sale, unlike Texas.

I agree with Matt, there just aint a bunch of stuff down this way and when you do find something it's usually priced like giraffe ears. Good looking plow Brian. Hope you took a large enough truck or you may have to buy a trailer to haul everything back home. For some reason when we travel my little bride isn't interested in me looking at garden tractor stuff. She also doesn't like me piling stuff in the back of the Tahoe and heaven forbid using the roof rack. Have a safe trip.
