Callen 64 #4 Posted January 1, 2014 Looks like it would be able to cut a furrow to drop seed in the ground. Maybe part of a planter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimD 3,347 #8 Posted January 1, 2014 The term moldboard, or mouldboard as it was originally spelled dates back as far as the 1700's, and maybe earlier. The moldboard, or the wooden part of a plow of that era, is the part that lifts up and turns over the sod cut by the iron share and coulter. It would be #2 in Steve K's diagram in post 5. The share is the steel part just below it that digs into the ground, and of course the coulter wheel, (#8) that cuts the sod ahead of the share. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smoreau 658 #13 Posted January 2, 2014 That's what Tom and I thought. too small for a plow, but was a neat conversation piece for our new years get together at Toms cousins place. It came with a 71 800 he picked up for a song and a dance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Humm...possibly the wooden plow board was molded into it's shape then. Seems the mould spelling is a British variant of mold.
