Super C Fast Hitch plow help needed

Thamks in advance.

I called Empire Tractor in Cazenovia and talked to the parts guy about "crock's" information. Parts guy knew immediately what I wanted and even referred to them as "Spear Points." He's ordered me two of them and will have them shipped to Empire in Cortland for me to pick up next week.

Will let you know the final outcome of all of this next week. Can't tell both of you how appreciative I am for your help.

I later acquired another No.60 plow 4x16 with Super Chief bottoms. Much better set up, with the one piece disposable point and share. They had one kinky little problem also. I installed a new set of point-shares one day, started plowing and after a couple of rounds noticed some of them loose. I spent most of the afternoon tightening them. Next morning I called the IH dealers to tell them of my problem. His first question,"Did we give you right hand thread plow bolts?" I said."yes". They had just sold their first rollover plow with Super Chief bottoms. Super Chief bottoms require left hand thread on the right turning moldboards and right hand thread on the left turning moldboard. A new young lad in the parts dept had given me the wrong bolts. I had often wondered why they used left hand thread.

These items are called educating a farmer. The manual does tell about the bolts and thread. To a farmer on his 4th plow, I guess it's a case of reading the manual if all else fails. You could probably switch those Plow Chiefs for Super Chiefs. Watch the auction scene. With Super Chiefs you would have a better plow and one with much better availability of parts, particularly in the future. Just be aware Plow Chief was not used many years, they probably will become hard to find parts for.

Thanks again.

If you are in Canada or close to border you could have an Ace bottom. In most of US very likely IH General Purpose bottom. If your plow is a 209 or a 211 you could have plow chief or super chief bottoms. These two plows will have trip bottoms and will definately have separate shins. If this plow was bought new with the Super C it is most likely a C-20 with either Ace or General Purpose bottoms.

Thanks for the reply. I'm a little slower than the average guy but I might be getting somewhere.
C & G identified the plow as a C-20 and that's the model that I ordered the shins for but as I said above, the shins aren't what I need. They don't even come close to fitting on the set-up that I have.

Looking through Charles Cook's book, "Farmall C & Super C - 1948-1954 - An Advertising History," I came across an ad for a C-295A plow with "Plow Chief Bottoms" and "Spearhead Points." The "Spearhead Points" look like what I am missing; they are the right size and shape and attach in the same way. They look like what I lost when plowing. Does this make any sense to you? If so, and I do need "Spearhead Points," any idea who to contact?

Thanks for your help.
