Hey Magman, you don't have any spare coulters around do you? Need 1-2 for my #60 plow so I can turn up some sod. Figure at least one for the rear bottom so it leaves a nice furrow for the next pass... Pullin three 14's with a 5220 Maxxum so power and traction aren't an issue.
Tom, here's a quick primer on plow parts, assuming a conventional plow. All directions are looking at the plow from behind:
1. Beam - The heavy cast piece that connects the bottom to the frame.
2. Bottom - The sum of the beam, frog, landside, moldboard, shin, share, and point.
3. Frog - The underlying frame for the plow bottom. All other parts bolt to it.
4. Landside - A wear plate that rubs against the side of the newly-dug furrow to keep the plow moving straight.
5. Moldboard - The large piece that turns the soil over and drops it in the open furrow to the right.
6. Shin - The leftmost piece of the moldboard. Early plows had a one-piece moldboard, but the Plow Chief and later Super Chief designs broke it down into a moldboard and a shin because the shin wears out at about the same time as the point/share, but the rest of the moldboard wears much more slowly. You can go through several shins before wearing out a moldboard.
7. Share - The lowest part of the plow bottom that digs the soil free across the width of the furrow.
8. Point - The very leftmost tip of the share. The point pulls the plow bottom into the ground. On the Plow Chief design, the point is a separate piece. Most bottoms have a one-piece point and share design because both wear out at roughly the same time anyway.
