Leinbach plow

Kirk-NJ · May 29, 2016

I picked up this Leinbach one bottom trip plow yesterday. I read somewhere that they used ford bottom parts. Can anyone confirm that the shares/shins/moldboard are the same?
The model is a 20B and from what the photos I see on line maybe it's an early one cause of the round drawbar.

Can you see any numbers on the shins or shares ? I've got the ford single in a 110 and the 101 in a 2 bottom. Oddly enough as recall, the 101 takes ford wear parts, (not sure who made these 101's) though oliver will bolt on, the ford parts fit better or as they should.

The 110 takes oliver parts per what I sourced at the temco dealer. If I recall the 101 may have had Adams shares on it, and the 110 Star Manufacturing shares.

I have a set of spares on the shelf for my 110, same as the new parts I put on it a few years back. The share is Oliver and its a heavier or thicker type at the point, so I believe it to be a rock share. The fit on the shin is not the same as what was OEM on this 110, so its hard to say what that means, holes do line up properly though.

Not much help but you may have to take the shin/share off to see what part number you have, just get some of the appropriate plow part bolts so you can reinstall if they have to be cut off. I actually slathered all of mine with anti-seize before installing.

Oh yea! I'm a big fan of antisieze! I use it on every bolt that can come into contact with dirt.The bolt will acctually be easily removed,some times with your fingers!

This substance is well worth using where needed and then some. It does seem to get on everything, I keep old gloves around and other things similar to minimize that. I figured although these are close to the ground, they are kept outside still, but up on wood blocks at least, they could still be easy to remove as the part that will bond with rust is still coated. I try to clean off my plows after using them, right away, then paint the moldboards. The clods of dirt that are on the fasteners are removed as best can be done.

When I replaced the shins, shares and landsides on the 101, there was a small grocery list of bolts to keep track of, so I used a caliper, ruler and whatever else to make a list of them, so I got what I needed in one trip to the Temco dealer. I added a few extras for spares. Next time, they should just come out, and not need the cutting torch, making it easier to identify what I have or may need. Small plow, but you do need some various bolts for everything.

Since I've been useing antisieze,I've been able to reuse most if not all bolts on my plows, cultivators 'disk gang bolts......And I do,unless the bolt shows a lot of wear.And a torch is never needed anymore when changeing 'consumeables'.

When I was doing a lot of acreage plowing with a JD 4850 and a 7 bottom variable width plow,I covered a lot of acres in a week. The shares/points got changed once a week and sometimes more. New points came with all the bolts and nuts necessary. After replacing a point with new bolts and nuts I would take the old nuts from the previous replacement and put them on the threads that stuck out through the new nuts. Never had a problem getting the nuts off when changing the points.

What is the "trip" mechanism...a shear bolt? A trip plow is one that resets by backing up.

Kirk-NJ · May 30, 2016

Yes when shear pin breaks manually put back the bottom or back up and put the new shear pin in. Spring loaded trip bottom just back up and and spring pushes the bottom on to a latch. The nice thing about the spring loaded trip is you can adjust the trip mechanism, which is great in my rocky soil and you don't have to get off the tractor to reset the bottom.

Thanks Billy. I can't see any numbers at least not until I get the share off. The moldboards might scour but I don't know about the share. It's pretty thin and rusty. I'll give them a try but just figure if someone new for sure they were ford bottoms I'll order a shear just to have an extra. I pulled one of the old shares from the scrap pile that I replaced off my 101 plow to see if the bolt holes line up.

Got some work done on the plow the past couple of days. If you notice in the first photo the badly rusted pitted spots on the share, shin and part of the moldboard. Where the plow was stored in the barn there was bags of garden lime which the bag broke/deteriorated and were laying against the plow. I wired brush and sanded then filled the pitted spots with 2 coats of JB weld sanding between each coat. Although it look bad in the photo it is actually pretty smooth. I also check the share using an old share off my 101 plow and the hole line up so it looks like it might work. There are numbers on the back of the moldboard but didn't have my glasses on so I couldn't make them out. Will check later today and try to match them up with the ford numbers.

I was able to get the numbers off the moldboard yesterday they are Wiese 104412. I looked it up on the Wiese website and it comes up in the ford moldboard section. So it's nice to know the wear parts are still available.
