Plow parts!

[Farmwithjunk]

Anyone who's tried to re-hab a moldboard plow in recent years will tell you parts are getting harder and harder to pin down. Certain models are destined for the scrap pile because they're worn out and OEM parts just aren't there any longer. Agri-Supply, Valu-Bilt, TSC, ect can still get SOME parts for SOME plows, but not consistantly or timely.

Looks like we have a place to turn after all! They've got shares, shins, moldboards, landslides, coverboards, ect!


Crescent Forge & Shovel -Tillage Tools


Some snazzy music at their website too!!!!

This 'mystery' stamp on the moldboard of the no-name plow I found in my B-I-L's junk pile is from Crescent Forge and Shovel. I don't know enough about plows to comment on the whole unit (it worked fine for me) but the moldboards, shins, etc seem to work great and have held up well.

FWJ: thanks for the info.
Now I have a source for replacement parts when I find my IH Little Giant 2-14 pull plow.

Thanks, I am going to an equipment auction on monday looking as some plows. Now I can bid with more confidence on the masseys and fords they selling. Snazzy, that is one way to describe the music on the site, it was definetly loud.

I dont think that I have ever mentioned on the forums but if anyone ever needs any cast parts that are obsolete(iron,steel,bronze or aluminum) pm me.I deal with many foundries in this country daily and can help you get reproductions made.

Yep. You're right. Had a little brain freeze. Know where I can find one?

FWJ and N80, you guys seem to know the proper names for all this stuff, so please educate the ignorant. We've got a 2 bottom turning plow. Now I think I know the moldboard is the actual big blade that turns the sod, dirt, or whatever over. What is the proper name for the point of the plow that actually cuts the ground, and how do you size them, or is size determined by the moldboard? I need 2 new points, rippers or whatever they are called. Thanks.

The "point" is properly called a SHARE, but is known simply as a "point" in some areas. That's the leading edge that cuts the BOTTOM of the furrow.

The SHIN is the leading edge that cuts the vertical wall of the furrow.

The Moldboard is that big curved "wing" that rolls the dirt over.

The landslide is the wear surface that rides against the furrow wall to make the plow run straight.

The coulter is the disc shaped item that runs in front of the shin to cut through the sod and surface crop residue.

A coverboard, or trash board is a small curved "wing" if you will that is located above the shin on SOME plows to aid in burying surface residue.

The tailwheel, or rolling landslide is exactly what and where it says.

There's a part called the FROG that attaches to the shank (or beam) that is what all those parts bolt to.

The shank, is the leg portion of the frame of the plow. Some shanks are saftey trips, with either a shear bolt OR mechanically re-settable "toggle" trips.

Let's stop with that. I can go on for ever! I love plowing and messing with old plows!

And that's why I like this place. Thank you.
