What is the correct name for the bolts that hold a plow to the frame of the implement.I am getting started with a little farming but do not live in a farming community. Also all of the older guys I could ask have passed away. There are two bolts on each plow . One is longer than the other.

This is an old plow. Four beams with one plow on each end. Square nuts and pinched carraige bolts. These bolts go through the frog, the shin and the plow if I follow you correctly.The spacer between the plow and the frog looks almost like a worn out shoe heal and must be the shin. Thanks so much for the education

The shin on a plow is above the left edge of the share, to the left of the moldboard. (Assuming a normal configuration for a plow, throwing the dirt to the right. Another wear part is the landside- mounts on the left side of the frog, at right angles to the soil surface. You mention pinched carriage bolts- I think you are referring to plow bolts. They have a round head surface, and fit into a square tapered hole in the shin, moldboard, or other wear parts.

Older plows had frame bolts with square heads and nuts. Newer ones use hex bolts. The curved frame that goes towards the ground is a beam. At the lower end of the beam is the frog, held on with two or three bolts- maybe 5/8 diameter. the moldboard and plowshare, and shin, if so equipped, are bolted on to the frog with plow bolts (fit flush with the soil-bearing side), or pinched bolts. I'm having a senior moment, and don't believe they are called 'pinched', but they are oval, and convex, on the head, and I can picture the canfull of them I have in the shop, but I CAN'T THINK OF THE RIGHT NAME!

The moment has passed, after a trip to the shop to work on a WD, looked in the can- oh yeah, those are called 'clipped head' bolts. Bigger ones are on the 6 bottom IH 720, small ones used to be on the 4 bottom Melroe with the AC 378 bottoms.

That may depend on what brand of plow it is. Old IH plows that I have had used simple heavy carriage bolts for almost every application on the plow. If you know what brand it is you could contact a dealer, even if it's ancient. If not, your local hardware store can usually come up with a suitable replacement.

Curt is partly right but, there were a number of different head types used by different manufactures.
Some were carrage bolts but JD used a reverse key head bolt. If you call JD for them they will tell you they are obsolete. We have a number of different N.O,S, head types in stock. You can check our bolts at
