Ferguson AO moldboard

[nspec]

Calling all plow guys... I'm looking for a moldboard to fit a Ferguson AO plow. The number on the back of the moldboard is 16C AE-112. I'm not dead set on having that exact part, just need it to have the same bolt pattern. Any ideas on where to find something like that?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Same reply as I gave on AO plow shares EXCEPT - go to N Tractor Club and click on the "Manuals" section. You will find posted online the original Ferguson parts manual which should give you all the codes that will fit the plow - not just the moldboard that you have.

Ford/Ferguson sold these AO plows as long as the Ford/Ferguson joint venture was alive - until about 1947. After that, Ferguson started up on their own but Ford continued to service the plows that they had sold. When Ferguson got their dealer network set up they sold parts for the plows, too. Conceivably, you could find parts either at a Ford dealer (now CNH) or a Fergy dealer (now AGCO/MF), but I will tell you in advance that parts are very hard to find.

Try Sweigard bros. CNH (CaseNewHolland) in Halifax, PA. Ask for Scott in parts. Scott is also a collector of old Fords and Ford/Ferguson implements and prides himself on locating odds and ends still out there in the CNH parts system. He also has contacts with a local Amish foundry who will make replica shares and moldboards for the AO series plows. The price from the foundry is not cheap - figure on about $500 for a set of new shares and moldboards for a two bottom plow.

These AO plows have really become collector's items if they are in good condition. Your plow dates from 1939 to about 1947. There were at least two sub-models.
