Ford Bottom Plow Shin

farmforwildlife · Jul 26, 2011

I've been trying to order new shins and shares for a 2 bottom Ford Plow. I ordered both the shins and shares from TSC and the shares fit but the shins didn't. Every reference I have found for available shins gives the same dimensions with references to OEM part numbers 112136, 201344, 251435, and 104428. Here's the catch, I wire brushed the shin I removed to reveal the part number and it is 112137. I just placed an order with Ag Supply but I'm afraid the result is going to be the same. The problem is with the bolt hole alignment. If there are any plow experts out there that can give me some advice or point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

What model of Ford plow do you have?

Some Ford plows were made by Oliver (or White) . Some were made by Pittsburg Plow.

There were a few specialty bottoms, which were quite different than "ordinary", but they are fairly rare.

I could be wrong but I've always been under the impression that it is a 3 point Ford 101 2-14 with landing lever. It is definitely a Ford and looks just like a 101 to me.

I got my 101 shares and shins from a John Deere dealer. Take a share into a large dealer (Deere, Case, New Holland) and one of them should be able to match up the holes.

See if these measurements are for your plow.

Scroll through this listing and see if you can find any shins that measure the same as yours. It's uncommon, but SOMETIMES people will switch the frog (part all the wear parts attach to) from another brand of plow....

I'm inclined to think that's some sort of Ford bottom though, possibly a deep draft bottom, or a scotch bottom maybe...? Your number (112137) is one off a fairly common Ford part #, (112136) which leads us right back to Ford.
