My brother found a 2 bottom Oliver 3240 plow (pretty sure that's what it is, the tag was gouged bad by the 3rd digit. Just looking by eye, it appears to be set for a 16" cut. Owner said he bought it from a man a while back who was the 1st owner, and he never used it but maybe 2x.
Apparantly he left out the part where he used the heck out of it without replacing wear parts such as the shins and landslides. The points looked to be replaced, however the plow couldn't have been set right because they appear to be worn funny. The front shin is worn so bad, that it cracked aftyer wearing thin and the guy kept running it so a gouge is worn into the moldboard behind the shin, probably 2' x 1 1/2" or so, maybe 1/8" deep. Probably gonna fill it in with weld and grind it smooth again.
Overall it doesn't look too bad once you look over some of the bubble gum welds on it and look at the basics of the plow. He'll clean it up some after replaceing some of the wear parts and getting it set up for his 550. Moldboards are pretty rusty, but if he listens to me some we just may get them shined up.
I think he paid $250 for it
