That front portion that was cut off was for a coulter. Not entirely sure why some of these had them but most guys cut them off when the bearings went out or it got in the way of the draw bar on some tractors. Someone has modified that 3pt hitche also which is strange but guys do all sorts of things.

When you mentioned holding the plow bolts with your fingers it brought back bad memories. I rebuilt a Dearborn two bottom plow over the winter. I did that very thing. In a heartbeat the pad on the end of my finger was gone. Like you I used an angle grinder to cut the remaining bolts off. Good looking old Ford. I spent many, many horns in the seat of a 5k in my early teens. Love the videos. ❤

Up here in the southern piedmont region of Virginia, that implement is called a jitterbug. Back in the 70s, I grew up on a tobacco and beef cattle farm, and milked two cows for our large family. I've still got that 861 and use it for bushhogging and plowing, disking. Great tractor. I enjoyed your video.

Thanks for sharing the video Joey. Nice old 2000. We always called them a scafier growing up. They work pretty good. I'd like to have one with a fast hitch. Working on the farm years ago we had an 8000 and a Buddy of mine had one too. I ran them a lot. Good old tractors pulled good and easy on fuel for their size. They did good till you put them on a round baler as they were early and didn't have enough hydraulic pump for that. They worked but too slow on the end gate. So we baled with the other tractors. But tillage it was good. You have a great trip if I don't talk to you.

I went out and cut in the garden behind the house this weekend before the rain. I didn't get into it earlier in the fall cause I was either busy and needed to take down the tomato fence and cages and stuff then it got too wet. Wanted to cut all the stuff just once and get it into good contact with the ground to start rotting down more.

We call that a spring tooth chisel plow. At one time my dad had a Ford 3000, 4000. 5000. and a 7000. These were all diesel engines. Later he had 3- Ford 3600's a 6600 and a 7600. We grew allot of flue cured tobacco in Jones County NC.

I have a Ferguson 35 that is the same size/features. Those cultivator shoes bumped up a lot in price when I put new ones on a year ago. Hint for you since you are trying Winter Rye Grain as a cover crop: use the cultivator set to scratch in the corn rows in the standing rye then follow up with a conventional shoe type corn planter. It's "almost" notill that way. Then when the corn emerges you roll the rye flat (either roller-crimper along once or a cultipacker/lawn roller down and back to mash down any that try standing up from the first pass). I have searched around for a no-till drill and haven't found any cheap enough to replace the strip-till+shoe-planter. The standing rye brings up moisture from below, catches nightly dew, and blocks weed seeds germinating because many of them need direct sunlight.
