Anyone know about this plow. It could use some parts replaced but I cannot find anything on Pittsburgh plows online.

We just sold one which had belonged to my father. I believe that they are now this company Taylor Pittsburgh as the result of a merger. I don't see that they carry plows any more though.
Depending on what you need, agri supply is a good place to find replacement parts. Plowshares | Agri Supply

I am finding some information on Taylor Pittsburgh but very little to nothing on a single bottom plow. so far I also have not found a matching plow share it has a 3 hole pattern with the front 2 holes close together. I've always heard once on the internet it is always there but I can not find anything on this plow. the share measures 12 inches and that complicates it even more. If anyone could identify the plow by model # that might help me find a substitute. I am gonna start cleaning it up so I'll post more pics later.

It's probably a copy of an old Massey or Ford/Dearborn. You can take measurements of all of the bolt holes and spacings, there are plenty of suppliers that offer that data readily on their websites.

I found this image, states the 12" is 3 hole

That is EXACTLY the same single bottom moldboard plow as I have. Mine is an 18" model, purchased new in '83. The plow still has the product info sticker on it. There is NO model # indicated.

Pittsburgh Implement Division of the Pittsburgh Forging Co. Serial # 132925

Years ago I looked for the Pittsburgh Forging Co - I think it's now called - AMPCO Pittsburgh Corp.

It's too heavy to man handle. So....this is the only picture I have of it. Weeds are pretty much covering the share. I mainly use it to cut drainage ditches. It's a real beast at turning the soil. Especially with the Kubota M6040. If you want added pictures, let me know. I could easily clear the weeds for added pics.

Well this helps. I just added a new post with some new info. I removed the share and it had Star MF co stamped in the back of it and numbers HS 111 I think the stamping was light and rust has obliterated some of the letters.

What I am looking for is very very close to the Oliver/White 0 12-3
