Did some plowing on Saturday

Paul Shuler · Dec 6, 2010

Got out and plow under part of my food plot that didn't do to well this summer and about froze to death. Had a great time though and couldn't help thinking of our old friend Hugh Mckay while I was plowing. A man I feel like I knew my whole life and never met. I noticed when I was done that the point was busted off on my rear plow. Are parts still around for this or am I out of luck? What would you guys do? Buy another tractor with a good plow on it.

Paul my ferguson plow would not go in the ground very well so I cut 2 2inch pcs of of a grader blade and welded them on the plow share ane it works perfect. I don't know why you can't do that to your plow. Bob

Thanks Bob, I may give that a try. That is a fine looking set up you have.

Zachary Hoyt · Dec 6, 2010

That's a nice setup. You can plow all winter with both plows on there, the front one to push away the snow and the rear one to turn over the ground. The paint job is very nice and shiny.

Thank you, but the paint looks better the farther you are from it. I am a long way from a good painter.

Crescent Forge and Shovel would probably have the part you need.

Great looking tractor and awesome set up!!!!

Crescent Forge no longer exists. They have been out of business for a couple years now, looking for a buyer.

Last I checked, they couldn't find a buyer and were threatening to cut everything up and send it to China for scrap.

That deadline was back in June IIRC, so it's come and gone. I would expect everything's on a scrap ship headed across the Pacific by now.

So, you've got two choices:
1. Try to weld up what you have.
2. Look for a replacement part on ebay, in ads, or off a parts plow.
3. Look for some inexpensive Super Chief bottoms, which you can still get parts for.

Currently there is a guy on Ebay who has 6 Super Chief bottoms with slated moldboards for $50 each. They are 18" bottoms, but all you need to do to narrow them up is cut off the right end of the share.

For $100, you can upgrade your plow and be able to replace worn parts cheaply.

I think that if you compare your complete plow bottom assembly to one off a little genuis or some of those old plows that you can find a set to bolt right on.
I,m pretty sure thats what happend to my super c plow before I got it.

I did the exact same thing as Bob did on his Ford/Ferguson plow as a temporary fix and it worked fine also. I think you should be able to butt up a chunk of steel and weld it on nice. I'm no welder, but when I welded on a Deere share I had to get it warmed up a bit before the welds would stop cracking.
