Terrific shots, Jim. Hard place to make a living. Looks like everything was left where it broke down.
I’m sure others have given this info. The plow shares you mentioned are what we specifically called “moldboard” plows and would have been pulled by mules. My double is for a 3-point hitch behind a small farm tractor. The more moldboards, the bigger the tractor needed.
Terrific photos. That was a hard scrabble life.
