Ferguson 3 bottom plow share bent

Picked up a Ferguson plow at auction. One of the share tips is bent pretty bad (3-4 inches back and about 1" down) and wondering if anyone has successfully straightened one back to acceptable working order. I don't know if heating and bending will soften too much as not as not sure of the heat treatment used to make. It is pretty thick, so just strong arming with cheater bar or press would be difficult and also concerned that cold bending might fracture or break end. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Try 200-300 degrees while on a press. 1 shot deal. If you have to, do not reheat until share is cool enough to grip with bare hand. The best thing to do is buy a new one.
