Homemade spring assist
 

Hey guys, put the plow in my 128 last night... And I want to plow many acres this year, but I have a manual lift, no assist, and that plow Is heavy. I don't really want to fork over a lot for a spring assist, so I was wondering if someone has made a homebuilt version. I live on a farm, and have access to cutting tools and lots of old parts... Any ideas?

Hop on to McMaster Carr and check out what they have for springs. They are great for a ton of stuff.. http://www.mcmaster.com
