Sorry guys,
To the guys who ORIGINALLY responded to the WRONG pictorial parts "break down" I showed earlier.(I am kinda "plow illiterate"! :)


Here are the ACTUAL parts I have. The 2 pictures of the part #s are extras that ARE NOT mounted on the plow,but are the exact replacemnts for it(as far as fit.)

Mike,you have the old'Plow chief" bottoms.Its in pretty good shape,I might add.The 'Super Chief' has a replaceable shin and a 'throwaway'share.There should be a decal on the backside of the moldboard indicating ....
 
This could be any of several different bottoms. As a whole, these are usually referred to as "conventional" style bottoms. This is not a Super Chief and not a Plow Chief bottom. Your bottom likely predates PC and SC bottoms and possibly was still in production at the same time PC and SC bottoms were being made. O554 shares are 14 inch. A number from the moldboard and/or landside can be used to determine exactly which bottom you have.

No, NO decals on the mold boards,

You can see I recently sandblasted and painted it,but it didnt have decals when I picked it up.

BTW,there is NO over spray on the tire sidewalls now!!! (That stuff "bugs" me!!! LOL)


My #37 disk is next! It is a Semi "basket case",but i aint letting it go to the junkyard.I TOO will function again!

Look hard on the back of the moldboards. There's usually a part number somewhere visible (not hidden by the frog). It may not be in the same place on each moldboard, either.

I am thinking you have a # 16 IH plow will what I would call BLACKSMITH shares because when they would wear out you would take them to your local blacksmith and he add more metal, heat them in his forage, "sharpen" or shape them with his power hammer and add more "suck" if needed. Where are you located? At the steam show in Pontiac, Il. there are a couple of blacksmiths that may still know how to do this. They are rebuildable if you can find one of these old boyes. I plan to take a couple of these shares to Pontiac and see what happens. E-mail is open if you have any more questioms. Armand
 
Yes Armand,it is a #16 plow (3x14)

Is this plow NOT new enough to have plow chief/super chief shares?

I am in Southern Indiana
 
Hey mike, Do you need plow points for your plow? If so call me or email me and I have several points that I will sell and we live close together, I am just east of Franklin. Dwayne
 
"Is this plow NOT new enough to have plow chief/super chief shares?"

16 & 16L plows were first available in 1954.

The earliest Super Chief bottoms came out in 1956.

RP bottom (Early Plow Chief style, but never marketed as such) (with shin) came out in 1944. I'm not sure if these were still in production by 1954.
PC Plow Chief bottoms (no shin) was first available in 1950.
RSPC Plow Chief bottoms (with shin) came out in 1954.

Again, your plow has none of these bottoms.

I would say neither Plow chief or Super chief in the pictures. The xx554 number on back of the share is for a 14 inch share like used with the older genius bottoms. Plow chief and Super chief look a lot different. Super chief uses a straight blade share all one piece, unless you find a deep suck share that will have a point similar to the older genius but not nearly as big. The Plow chief is similar to the super but uses 2 piece share with a separate spear point that is in the neighborhood of 2 inches wide and 6 to eight inches long. Surely somebody has some pics....I'll have to look.
 
ok here is all I could find now, the pic of the big plow with the replaceable shins is what Super Chief looks like, this plow has deep suck shares on it. The rusty 3 bottom no 8 has the old blacksmith shares on it as some will refer to them, others will just call them little genius. I don't have a pic of the Plow Chief bottoms handy. We have all 3 sitting around, I'll just have to take a pic of all 3 and post for future reference.

Those part numbers eliminate the stubble bottoms I mentioned in the other thread. It has to be HA, KA or HSKA. I think the moldboard is the only difference between those 3 bottoms. Years manufactured were:
HA '29-'62
KA '29-'62
HSKA '39-'69
 
My Dad calls those "quick-change" bottoms because the share can be quickly removed by loosening the draw bolt.

They're meant to be taken to a blacksmith to be sharpened periodically. I've also heard them referred to as "blacksmith shares" for that reason.
 
This is really not on the subject, but.14" moldboards are getting hard to find(Fleet Farm)a IH dealer told me that 16" moldboards will bolt up on a 311. Do you think this is true?
