[MF243RedTop]

I will look closer over the weekend, but I think we (you) might have a winner. thank you very much

Yeah ... I have a very similar JD set but with the tubing brace across the top of all 3 plows other than that basically identical... Definitely JD..

Good luck getting parts for any older plow.
Used to have a good selection at TSC years and years ago.
They had a shelf with all sorts. If you weren't sure of it's parentage you brought in your old share and compared until you found one.
Last time I went there for shares the old guy working there said nope, not anymore. They used to have 4-5 thick catalogues of parts for all sorts of equipment.
Now they have 1 medium catalogue of parts, almost all from China. If they don't make it, nobody here does.
Much of the old equipment that used to be on small farms has no source for parts.
Plow I've had for years is a Dearborn. Last time I got new shares (10 years ago) they were $130 a piece.
Last spring I tried to track some down but nobody had any. The local New Holland parts guy gave me the number of their last supplier. I called and was told they no longer cast them and no old stock around.
Anybody around who used to stock them has any left.
Used to be able to buy a whole plow at auctions for $20-50 that still had good life left in them.
However as the small acreages disappear these are becoming as rare as hen's teeth. Most have met their maker at the hands of scrappers.
So now I use my plow just for the annual garden and try to conserve it as much as possible.
There is no way I'm paying what they want for a new entire plow.
Hopefully, if yours is a JD you might get lucky share wise.

Thanks for the heads up.

MasseyRider, don't know if you are familiar with
nickel silver a/c brazing rods they are very hard and
if you brazed the ends of your plows IMHO believe
that this would help them to last a very very long time
as you can't put a nick in the braze with a side cutters
