Bill,
Finally got a chance to measure the old plow and I have a 5-18. A 5-18 will cut 90 inches and a 6-16 will cut 96 inches. If you do find a 6-18, add an additional 36 inches to the main beam for the extra bottom.
My plow has a joint in the main beam at 136 inches with an extension of 36 inches. At the end of the extension is the apparatus for the tail wheel.
If you remove the bottoms at the hinge and the hyd cylinder, remove the coulters, remove the tail and gauge wheels, remove the hitch, remove the jack stand bar, and any parts I may have forgotten, it looks like you could leave the beams bolted to the main beam and end up with a piece that is approx 30W by 13H by 172L inches. W-width, H-height, L-length.
The extra frame work that you may see in the photos is a "buster bar" that will somewhat level and smooth the furrows as you plow.
Want metrics, multiply the measurements by 25.4 to get mm.
