I currently have a Wiard Walking Plow that I got from my neighbor for some work I did for him. I have all the metal parts; #27 mold board beam, casted No's
include; Land side #27 or 28, wheel #154 spindel, #112 colter, #6 on small colter mold board, but all the wooden parts like the wooden main beam and the wooden handles are pretty much rotted away. I need to find the dimensions of the wooden beam in order to have someone make a blank so I can restore it. If I can't find that I will probably sell it on E-bay. Wiard Plow Co. Batavia, NY; #27 is molded on one of the metal parts.

My ancestor invented the Wiard Plow.

Hi. Virginia,

Thanks for the info. Nice to hear from a Heir of Wiard Plow.
The stattus here is still the same, I, have the plow metal-parts, but no one came thru with the original, measurements-for-the-wooden-parts, I should have in order to replace them.
I, could fabricate them according to what I thought they were, but I'd rather start with the original-dimensions if I could.
It was nice of you to respond to my comment.
I, give "The Batavian" permission to pass My Email name on to you.

Thanks, Jim Adams
