I am not sure if it can be noticed from the photos and not having a reference point, an eye for it if you will, do the shins look worn or are they fine to run as is, only looks close by the bottom of the shine where it meets the share, projects beyond above, new share will project too, so I guess, maybe this part of the shin is not a high wear area ?
Also what about the landsides, what are the wear areas on those, the face against the furrow wall or the bottom, I've included both bottoms landsides, wanted to see if anyone cares to comment on how they look, I literally have no idea, they look thin where they meet the frog, and the front or point of the frog has what looks to be a non removable wear strip like the landside, just not bolts, seems joined to the frog. I was wondering if that was part of the frog, is it subject to wear, do you build it back up say with 7018, topped with hardface, replace the frog or its not an issue, as the landside/share take most of the brunt of the wear. Kind of hard to tell looking at it.
Lastly it appears to have had Adams 4 hole rock shares, I still am not sure what size this plow actually is, from outside of beam to outside of beam is almost 14", center to center of beams was closer to 12", maybe the part numbers on the shares, someone here may know, also kind of trying to source these in rock shares again I see Wiese Industries have them only need 2, anyone else sell these in pairs ? I don't think with the few acres a year might take a few years or more before I'd wear em out. Shoup has one listed but I am not sure if its a rock share.
Plan on rebuilding this 101 as much as I can, really like this style plow, any comments are much appreciated !
