2-Bottom Plow for Swale Making

We've been looking for a used one or two bottom plow now for awhile so we can build swales on contour for slowing water down on slopes.  Of course the plow can and will likely be used for making a good sized garden too.  A local fellow in Reidsville, NC posted a nice old used 16" Ford 101-61 bottom plow on Craigslist and worked out a good deal.  He restored the original look fairly well with a fresh coat of paint.  The plow shares were in good shape but it was missing the coulters.  Not sure if this is critical for us yet but we can always buy a pair later if we find we will need them.
