I bought a 4 bottom model 60 plow at auction. I call the bottoms support weld assembly a frog. This is the part that the moldboard, point, shin, and landslide bolt to. Is this the term you all use? On this particular plow i believe they are worn out because the plow points are bent down badly. Is their any way to fix this problem w/o purchasing new frogs? i imagine if i put new points on it will just bend those too. i do not see aftermarket frogs for sale correct? are the frogs the same for 14 and 16 inch IH plows??

I have had a #60 4/14 for 30 yrs. If the frogs are worn a lot, the shares can, and will bend. The frog should extend aprox. 1-1/14 in.past the bolt holes. The frogs can also be repaired by welding. I have done this for myself and, others, many times. Dave

smirkey: Your No. 60 plow can be equiped couple different ways. The early ones used trip hitch rather than trip bottoms. Some of the early 60's also had plow chief bottoms.

Most of these were sold with trip beams and super chief bottoms. The frog on these are bolted to the plow beam with three bolts. The top bolt has a arrow on the head, (could be worn off) plus the head is rectangular rather than square. Changing that top bolt changes penetration of plow. Esentially this changes the angle of the frog. With the arrow pointed down you have normal penetration and with arrow up you increase penetration. If you couple that with the fact 3 shares were available for this plow being the; regular flat share, heavy duty upset share and the deep suck share. I can tell you a plow with frogs set for deep penetration along with deep shares, would look very much like you describe. Probably twice the curve of the one's in Allan's photo. Remember this only applies to super chief bottoms.

Frogs aren"t every touched unless you let your shares wear down enough that it wears out the frogs too. Our 60 had 4 bolt shares, but I recall they also put 3 bolt shares on them..... ..The 3 are hard to find, but the 4"s are very common and cost $7 something when I last bought them, but I am sure they went up a buck or two with the price of steel these days. I"d give shoups a call and get 4 of them and you won"t have to deal with the agrivation of the plow not going in the ground should they be bent. I plowed 20 acres full of alot of rocks once and bent two shares on a Case semi-mount plow, it folded the point right over and it looked darn near like a backwards C..... ..... .What I am saying it is possible they could be bent.

Smirkey,

I can't see your plow, but IH is kinda noted for having a pretty deep suck build into thier lathes. In other words, a lot of their model lathes take a rather steep "bend" out at the point.

If they all appear exactly the same, I'd just bet it is plumb normal and are as they should be.

Smirkey,

This plow isn't an International, but it does illustrate the suck built into the lathes.

When the suck is gone, that is when you have to worry.

You are correct in calling that part a frog, but the frog has nothing to do with the plow points being bent. If the point on the plowshare is bent, it is from hitting a rock, etc. The only time you need to purchase a new frog is if you let the plowshare wear so much that the plowshare mounting holes on the frog are worn to the point that they will not support the share. They can also be rebuilt by welding when they get to that stage. Regarding the frog size, 14 vs 16 inch- you need to check the parts manual for your model plow.
