Bought 2- 2 bottom plows at auction today. I know nothing about plows but they seemed to be going cheap. Can anyone tell me if I did okay on them.. Got both for a total of under $250.

The 101 ford alone is worth it. I can't see the shares on that one, but the dearborn also looks to have good shares. I paid that for a 101 that had the shares worn down into the frog. I put all new shares, shins and landsides on it, only issue is the frogs could use a little repair, but there was enough left to bolt up to. It has original ford moldboards, but they do show some wear when you look at them compared to the new shins.

They both look complete, dearborn with coulters and check chains. You'll sure need to scour them up somehow, the 101 was sitting on the ends of the moldboards in the dirt, you can see the staining on them. I would imagine you had best look after the trip back mechanism on the 101, clean, lube and adjust if need be, I forget how to adjust them, mine work perfectly and trip like they should. You may want coulters, trash boards and or moldboard extensions for the 101, depending on how you'll use it. You can still get all the wear parts for a 101 which is a very good plow based on my experience with them.
 

Thanks for the reassurance.
By me saying I know nothing about plows I mean nothing. I know what moldboards and coulters are and what they do but the rest is a foreign language. Frogs, Trip Backs, and Shares, you might as well told me to check the muffler bearings and canooter valves.

I got a lot of reading ahead of me. I'll be spraying all the bolts and adjustments with some PB Blaster and let it soak for a week before I try to move anything.
 
You did real good. Send me an email and I'll send you a link for
the manuals. The 101 trip plow would be a good fit for your Ford.
