Which is the right share for my Ollie Plowmaster?

The plow I'm using has the NC219-14" bottoms. The share I pulled off is marked either OO or 0014 & might be original, but I doubt it. There's also an RS stamped in the back of the share. It's 19" L x 4" H & 5/16" thick. The bolt holes are spaced at 2 3/4", 8 1/4" & 13 5/16". The only Oliver part numbers I have scrounged up are from aftermarket manufacturers lists. They are: OO 14, OO 14-4, R14R, RA14R, RB14R, RR14-R, 218238BS & W218238BS. Are these all the same type of share or are some for different soil conditions? Also, the only aftermarket shares that I've seen all have four holes & the shares that are on my plow have three. Are the four hole shares a universal fit?

Thanks,
Mike
 
Mike, that 3 hole share for the 14" bottom was not avaible 20+ years ago already and we had to subsitude the 4 hole, the same way with the John Deere shares. Mike, please send me an email so I get your address again.
 
The OO14 RS sounds like how the numbers are called out on the ones at Fleet Farm. I think they sell Weise tillage parts-

The OO designates Oliver, 14 being 14", and RS being Rock Share. Rockshares wear longer, and hold up better to rocks. Whether that makes them worth the 2x the cost over a normal one, I don't know. We always have run rockshares on our plows, but with 16" ones now being $45 each, I went with the normal ones for $20/each.

As for 3 hole/4 hole, put a bolt in the extra hole just to plug it.

As for as putting a bolt in the extra hole, just forget about it, it sets right up against the frog so no way to put anything in there. Back when I had the first Oliver back in 1969 it was a 3-12" clutch lift (not a rooster comb) plow and it had just a plain flat stamped blade share that was designed without any nose for suck, could not get a rock share at that time and in hard ground they would not go in, Later had a adjustable frame 3 bottom mounted with 14" bottoms and when we got it used the 3 bolt blade type share, only able to get the 3 bolt a time or 2 (that was back in the 1980-81 time) when we switched to a 4 bolt share not using the one hole it was a rock type of share and the work it did then was like a different plow in going in the ground with that nose on it.
 
Wasn't aware it was right by the frog. I guess forget about it then. Must not be too much of an issue with wearing funny then...

Hello Leroy,
I got a short email out to you a little while ago. Our internet is on the fritz & this is the third time I've typed this reply, this evening. Just have to love this wonderous technology.

Glad to know the four bolt shares will work.

Thanks,
Mike
 
Donovan,
I took a peek under the share & there isn't a lot of room for a bolt to poke through the share, as Leroy points out. However, I think if I cut the bolt flush with the back of the share, I can tack weld it in place. Provided the bolt & share will take a weld, it just might work.

Thanks,
Mike
 
the oo-14 is an osmundson share it is 3 bolts 1/2x1 3/8, and 2, 7/16x1 1/4 bolts the book shows the bolts to be clipped head but could be the sqr plow bolts also. The oem number listed is rb14r.
 
grandpajohn,
I found shares (Osmundson part#) through the Parts Depot. I do thank you for your offer, but these parts will be in tomorrow & I don't know how many plowing days are left, for me, before the ground freezes. I do hope you do not take this as a sign of disrespect, as it's not the intended outcome. If so, my apologies.

You did point me in the right direction & I can't thank you enough.

For me plowing may be on hold UNTIL we get a little frost. I've got 1 corn field left (2/3's anyway) and my brothers pumpkin patch if he gets his plastic mulch out.

I was in the last corn field on Sunday and the ground was so wet and sticky it wasn't sliding off the moldboards very well, and this is after I already plowed 20-25 acres. No worries about rusty bottoms, just very sticky wet soil. It was even dry on top. Never had the ground act quite like that before...

The feild before that plowed like a dream. Most of it was 3rd over and I probably coulda gone to 4th in some spots. I did have to replace some of the shares on the plow between fields, but they shined up pretty quick.

I've plowed up to 1 1/2-2" of frost, but I learned the hard way to remove the colters. I broke a crank and buried it until spring or the next fall when I plowed again.

Normally I try not to plow with more than 1" of frost, and try for less. A lot has to do with how much moisture is in the ground when it freezes too. If it's really wet like this year, 2" will be rock hard. In other years where it's drier 2" of frost isn't a big deal

It's been just wet enough around here to keep the soil moist & turning good for ten year old no-till. Well, as good as it gets with a worn plow. I had no idea how bad it was until I got to the farm I'm working up now. My hay field & corn patch are a fairly clay free sandy loam, with a good crop of "petrified potatoes" at all times & don't usually know the plow is back there until it finds a big one. The fields I'm plowing under now have about everything but sand & only a handful of stones, large or otherwise.

Provided the weather holds up for a few days, I should be able to finish up before I have to worry about frost & freezing conditions. The wait continues for parts, as I had to send the new landsides back. The hole for the largest bolt, in BOTH of them, was punched with a dull die & warped enough to stick out about a quarter of an inch further than the land-side of the point on the share. Then I had to go & bust two of those fancy keyed-head counter-sunk plow bolts. *sigh*

At last, with your input, it sounds like there's still a fighting chance even after the ground firms up a touch.

Thanks,
Mike
