How to identify what kind of moldboard plow share you have, how to maintain the plow share by grinding on it, how to lightly rebuild the plow share by welding and grinding, and how to completely rebuild the plow share as a blacksmith would years ago.

Great video on plough shears! Bought a 3 bottom plough , all seemed ok! But did crazy things , couldn’t get it working! Then you pointed out the sled runner! Yup! A real bad shed runner on all 3 - ground them away back from the edge , ground edge to nearly sharp - plough works great now! And this was hard clay ploughing! Thank you! Jas!

I got a 10” plow that doesn’t work well at all and think this helped me out more then anything I’ve found so far, no one has ever mentioned a sled runner that I’ve seen but now I am going to check mine.

Glad it helped! The sled runner is a huge factor in getting the plow to suck down.

I appreciate this video I’ve got a plow that clamps to a 1.5in square toolbar for a cat 0 3point. I know very little about it was given to me with a 1970s speedex 1630 garden tractor that had sat for 15 years, after a little touch up with a grinder I got it to sink down and turn in my clay soil for my 1 acre garden. I know it’s pretty worn and I’ve been trying to see if there are any parts available for it but the only number I have been able to find is on the moldboard textrak-10 but this has not lead me to much useful information if you or any of your viewers could provide any more info or even a direction to start looking I would greatly appreciate it, if it would help I could share (only with channel permission) a handle to my social media where there are some videos and pictures of it from last year.

Looking for a replacement plow share like the second one you were discussing on the video. I’ve scoured the internet for this type and have come up empty. Anyway you could guide me to a dealer or store that sells this old type that I can purchase for replacement?

Have you tried E. Bearinger in Moorefield, Ontario or Ploworx of Salem, Ohio? It appears that they are out there but you would need to find a retailer for this wholesaler: cfsorder.com/product_detail.cfm?ID=CANADIANFARM%5FRD%5F163729656%5F26439057&itemtype=DUPS1&pageNbr=1&sortBy=itemNbr%5Fasc&view=list&itemNbr=ACE%2D8

Very informative, thank you. Curious do you know the average Rockwell hardness of a common share? I read in the comments that you were thinking about trying a higher carbon content for your splice. Was thinking an AR-400 would work well. I also saw in another video you were using some Stoody 965G. Good choice.
@everythingmoldboardplows
@everythingmoldboardplows 11 ай бұрын
AR400 looks like a good place to start. I don't know the Rockwell hardness of other shares, but good OEM shares and moldboards are HARD, compared to some aftermarket pieces that I can scratch with a putty knife.

Good day from Ontario Yes we had narrow shares here IH 8. Cast shares also. I dont remember much about them We live in Mennonite country They used walking & horse ploughs, I guess IH. 8 Alot of ih shares were sold here. Neighbour started making them to make cheaper So of them started buying old allis plows & put moldboard on IH tractor ploughs The last I heard allis shares were over $40. We had bought ford 101 3 pt. Share then were 10-12/pc. So neighbours started using cockshutt moldboards which were same or close to oliver raydex. Boy interesting. Thanks What about no-till?? So what would that share u rebuilt cost new & rebuilt?

John - I farm in Northern Illinois. Flat and black. Not many rocks. Found a Kverneland that would be a great fit. No auto resets. Are the shear pins going to drive me nuts? 6 bottom. The force to shear pin is greater than auto reset. Thanks for your expertise.

@everythingmoldboardplows Ай бұрын
I think you'll be ok, but you know your ground better than me. Every time your chisel plow shank dances you have to ask yourself would the moldboard plow skim over that or would it trip the shear pin? And how often does that happen?

Thanks Dan! When I see John Deere plows of that vintage in the UK they most often have the EP bottom, a slow turning bottom, the “best” North American type bottom you’ll find. It probably has a 372 or 347 share. I got my points from eBay a number of years ago. Without them you may have to get creative and cut a point off of something else. The problem with points and shares for newer plows is the cutting edge just isn’t sharp enough, it is quite blunt.

I have a 1956 2 bottom Farmall plow, the shares have been rebuilt and work great. There’s a steel piece on the bottom of the opposite side I think that’s called landside? That piece is getting worn down on the bottom to where the frame is exposed. Are they rebuildable as well? Do you have any tips to getting them set correctly?
@everythingmoldboardplows
@everythingmoldboardplows Жыл бұрын
Check out my other videos on landsides and coulters (where I also talk about landsides). Yes, depending on the plow bottom that you have, you might be able to buy them from the OEM yet or an aftermarket supplier. You can also fabricate them pretty easily. And, you can also just weld stuff on the landside to build it back up. Just depends on how pretty you want to make it. The biggest thing is renewing the landside somehow so that the plow pulls straight.

Did you use any special material for the strip on the cutting edge? Or is it just mild steel?

I used mild steel but next time I should try something with higher carbon content. The mild steel will get beat up easily, but I can weld a bead of that hard surfacing wire on it to protect it and build it back up.

Yeah. The same procedure as welding on the share: preheat it a little bit and then allow it to cool slowly so that it doesn't crack. Use hard surfacing wire/rod also. Strategically placing your tack welds is important to keep the piece lined up correctly.

Identifying what you’ve got for a plow bottom would be a first step. New shares are out there for blacksmith shares and throw-away lays for those old Deere plows.
