I am trying to restore a JD Model 55 A,B,H plow. All the shears and landsides are worn out. I have not had any luck finding replacements. John Deere no longer has them available and I have checked with the major aftermarket sources (Weise, and Omundson) and neither do they. Where can I now look to find these parts. Thanks !!!

They are available. I bought the shears through Deere last summer. The bad news is $80.00+ each.

I dont know about the Syracuse part but the numbers on the back of the bottoms read NGR 214. Numbers on the shears - 217 SC and the landsides 8172 and the third bottom 8171 I think. Oh by the way It is a 3X14" plow. The shears have "Crescent Foege and Shovel Co." stamped on them.

Have your JD parts man do a dealer search. They may show up on another dealers inventory. You need to know if your share is a "3" bolt hole or a "4" bolt hole. I bought shares,shins, and landsides at my local dealer in Central Ohio last fall.
Mike is entirely right about using the plow book for part numbers.

Dan, are you sure that your plow bottoms don't say "NGP"? That was a pretty common bottom before the High Speed bottoms came out. And if your dealer parts man doesn't already know, plow bottom parts are listed in a separate book from the actual plow. That 217 number is a Deere number (I think) but was apparently also used by this aftermarket company to identify their parts. As of just a few years ago the shares were still available and at that time were about $65 each. Sad to say, but you are learning a plow lesson the hard way- the cheapest plow to buy is the one in the best condition. I would look for a better plow and use yours for parts. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Mike

Mike, It could be an R, didnt use the wire wheel on it. I live relatively close to an old time Black Smith who has the ability and the knowledge to build them up and resharpen them. He could also make me some new landsides from scrap shears, I think. He has been at it a long time and he learned it from his dad. I am only trying to bring it back to be useable not pristine. Have a 1950 "A" and a 45 "GM" that are close to being finished. I wanted this plow to keep the cobbs blown out of them. Becides buying one in such good shape as you suggest takes all the fun out if it.

Dan, I apologize if my comments seemed a little abrupt. It sounds like you know exactly what you have gotten yourself into..:-) And you are right, sometimes the "process" is more fun than the "result". Good luck with your project. Mike
