I am trying to help an acquaintance with their 8N tractor and 14-AO-2B Ferguson plow. Specifically, I need information on the availability of plow parts. From what I have seen, it only needs one moldboard and a good scouring. The plow bottoms which are installed have a blacksmith share and a shin-less moldboard. A brief internet search led me to Wiese's site and there seem to be some parts available for some bottoms, but I don't know enough about Ferguson plows to advise them on the best course of action.
The problem is that the wing of the front moldboard is bent back and cracked, and the land edge of the moldboard is eroded and broken-out over 1" into the moldboard at the center of the edge. It is going to take over an hour of work to reform the wing of the moldboard, weld it, and patch the hole to make it useable. I think that the cost of this repair will exceed the price of a new moldboard, and the result will be poorer.
Also, they own a nursery and want to use this plow for the foreseeable future.
