We've done it a number of times. We've used several different freight forwarders as dictated by our customers. One was "seamates", one was "utcoverseas". Try their websites. When our shipment was ready, we just called them, they arranged to have a truck drop off the container (on a trailer). Normally, you've got about one hour to load it but we made special arrangement to have them leave the container. Remember the container is about 4 ft off the ground while sitting on the trailer. A full container is 40 ft and a small one is 20 ft, I think. When they pick it up, you'll need to seal the container. Can't remember where we got the seals, think the driver may have brought them. Usually, big shippers have their own.
Shipping to India, Brazil, Israel was as easy as shipping down the street.
Google freight forwarding, overseas shipping, etc. You'll get lots of hits.
Now the above is for a full container load. For a smaller item like a plow, you'll need to check on consolidating your shipment with someone elses. The forwarder will help you with that.
Also, remember that the containers are NOT always watertight. Inspect it before you load it. Cover the crated load in plastic and make sure it's braced on all 4 sides to the walls. Remember it'll be on a boat moving every which way. Also, will probably require fumigated wood for any pallets, blocking, etc. Lumber yards can get it, has a special stamp on it. We also have used a company that specializes in crating for overseas.

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
