I have a few questions on plow bottoms and "blacksmith" shares:
I have "EP" Sod Bottoms on my 44 plow and want to stay with them. my shares are in pretty good shape for now but when they start to loose suck, is there a good place to ship them to be rebuilt that knows how to build them up? I travel through ND, SD, western MN and NW IA too so I could drop them off. What is a reasonable price to have this done? I'm afraid that no one really has the knowledge to do it locally and when they see me pull up in a "town car" they adjust their price accordingly. I included some pictures of my shares. do I just remove the two bolts on the moldboard side of the frog or is there another to get them off? Is the plow bolt hardware really NLA If I have to cut the bolts with the grinder to get them off when its time? If I do change my mind and need to go to NU bottoms, do I need a different frog?
