Going to stay in touch with the guy. I didn't have time today but he said that he has some cat0 plows to get rid of as soon as he digs them out. He bought them at an auction years ago and they are buried in his garage.
Is that white lith. Grease he said to grease these up with after they are cleaned.

Not sure about the size. How do I measure it?
Soft brick is a bit of an oxymoron...
Or use a jumbo shrimp
Tell that to my chimney that needs to be rebuild cause the bricks are crumbling due to their softness. Some of them you can almost break in half with your 2 hands.
Green that's a great find ! It looks to be in great shape and complete.
Looking at it,that's a 10 inch plow.
You got a smoking deal too ! Around here a 10 inch sleeve hitch plow is $75 on the low side to $150 depending on condition.
The vast majority of sleeve hitch plows are 10 inch.
It's harder to find the smaller 8 inch plows and if you go back farther there are 7 and 6 inch plows for garden tractors.
As far as I know all CAT.0 3 point hitch plows are 12 inch.
To beat everyone to the punch,Sears 3 point hitches are not CAT.0.
They are smaller than CAT.0.
Sears,between 1959 and the mid 80s offered Sears 3 point hitch plows in 7,8 and,10 inch versions.
The Sears FF series of GTs came out around 1980 and were large garden tractors designed to compete against the John Deere 400 series.
The FF models did have a true CAT.0 3 point hitch and used a 12 inch plow.
That's why I built a Cat 0 10" plow. It gave me one of each in the 10"-12" range.
Then I made my 10" 2-bottom!
Built in the mid 70's by my father. He used recycle brick though so who knows how old it is. I have an extra stack I can use for rebuild.
If I had to get hit with a brick I guess I'd choose a soft one!
Had hard brick chimney in town. 2 story house. Bricks from the local brick plant. Furnace put in year before I owned it. Every fall had to remove about 6 bricks at the bottom to clean it out so the furnace flue would not plug. No liner ? ? After the first year the brick were put back loose and used the rope type caulking used for lead joint steel sewer pipe years ago.
Tahoe, I sold around 5 RR line insulators, from when they run telegraph, etc. for $1.50 each + shipping. They came off the old CB&Q line and sent a letter of where they actually came from. NO, I didn't steel them. Got them from the salvage guys that were removing the poles, line etc. Didn't want the cross arms or anything attached to them. Got a big trailer load of the arms, brace straps, lags, inslultors and pegs. Cross arms were fir.
