Eagle Made From Plow Parts
 ✖  |
James Fenn, Ransomville, N.Y., was looking at a plow one day and realized he could turn the moldboards into nifty eagle wings. After rounding up a bunch of plow parts, he created a flying bald eagle with a wing span of about 4 ft. It looks like it’s landing on a 12-ft. tall flagpole next to Fenn’s garden.
“I used a Mig welder and a 10-lb. spool of wire to put all the parts together. It weighs about 140 lbs., so I had to use my skid loader to lift it up into place.”
He used a left hand moldboard from a 1950’s Allis Chalmers plow to make one of the wings, and bought a right hand moldboard at a farm store for the other. The body and beak were made from a big metal bracket that originally supported the front share on the Allis plow. Strips of new 10-ga. steel were used to make feathers.
Fenn likes to make ornamental yard sculptures to sell. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, James Fenn, Starlite Acres, LLC, 3808 Daniels Rd., Ransomville, N.Y. 14131 (ph 716 706-8232; atjam@aol.com).
