Yep. Depends on the soil and you need angle to the gangs. More weight could be added depending again on the soils and ground speed.
Why am i having such a hard time

If your disk doesn't cut when set straight I can't see the advantage of angling it. If its not cutting straight then its just not cutting at all. Angled or not. A good disk will flat boil the soil if the soil conditions are right. Set straight or angled. I have seen no advantage to adding weight. Can't get a disk to work on a hard packed gravel driveway. Can't get a disk to work on spring mud either. Soil conditions do matter.

Plow: if you can't find a bottom, dad would use a plow lay, and weld it into place there across the bottom to make the old one work longer. Not a perfect solution, but if you cant find one any more.....
Disk: I guess you weren't angling it? Oops.
As well, it is worn out - the blades are worn down too small. It'll work, but there isn't much bite left in it any more. New blades will cost a bundle, but will make a good disk out of it again.
Weight is good, helps it bite into difficult ground, esp with the blades worn out like they are.
Trouble is the very wet mud you are showing on th wheels and disk itself - disk doesn't work worth a dern in muddy conditions, only packs the ground down to concreete.

Coverboard for the plow is still available through Ford/New Holland. If you go to Messicks, a dealer that advertises on here, you can look up the part. Just type in the model number of the plow. A page will appear with an exploded view of the plow,and parts still available. Looks to be right at $98.00 for the coverboard aone, but the coverboard assy. which includes a bracket bolt, and coverboard is around $75.00. Go figure...
Saw some disc blades on I believe Agri-Supply that might be about the size to fit that disc. Look to be $10.00 ea. We have in the past gotten used blades off of a larger disc, that were considered worn out for them, but just right for new ones on a smaller version like that one. Although the axle size may be an 1/8" larger on the larger model. If a person had a MIG welder, it wouldn't take much to make them fit. Pretty handy to have buddies that farm...

Ive never seen anyone do any good with a disk anytime any mud is sticking to the tractor tires. Just my 2 cents sorry if you didnt want them.

Thats why all farmers across the world use angled discs. Your post makes no sense to me. Angling the discs help to pull them into the ground. I have never in my life seen a disc used straight with no angle. If I did I'd point and laugh. To the OP I think you need more angle, weight and dryer soil.
