Brinly plow advice
 

This is the Brinly plow that came with the Cub 129 I bought. I'm looking at pictures of other Brinlys and I think the po welded an extra piece of metal onto this plow. Why would he do that? Should I attempt to remove it?

My plan now is to restore the plow as well as I can, I've never done that before so any advice on what to look for and what to avoid would be appreciated.

It's rusty but I'm not sure if it needs to be sandblasted or if a brush wheel would do the job. All the elements seem solid. The Brinly decal is half gone so I'd need a replacement.

I 'd really like to get it looking good.

Another pic

I'd cut it off, probably for some kind of homemade jerry rigging going on there. Just cut it flush with the top beam of the plow. I'd use a sawsazz.

id cut it off, the yoke is on wrong also. here's the only pic i have of how the yoke should be.

I too would remove that bar, depending on where it's welded and how many welds there are will determine your plan of attack.

Try to avoid cutting/grinding into the original metal, so the job looks nice when it's finished.
