Plowshare

Can anyone help me learn about this unusual plowshare I came across. Thanks

Wow thats a find holy cow . That looks like the bottom off a breaking plow pretty old for the share moldboard to be one piece

That looks like a complete bottom with frog, share, and moldboard from a plow with a sod bottom. Their moldboards were longer and more sweeping, compared to a stubble bottom, so the plow had more time to turn that heavy sod. Those bottoms usually had a blacksmith share, which your bottom appears to have.

You can see the line where the share meets the moldboard

I agree that this isnt just a plough shear, but a multi piece unit.

SV, I blew up pic. but I just cannot see the line you talk about.
I think it's one piece.

Seen one like that a few years ago, but it had two handles on it and the beam.

I think it is one piece as well after blowing it up again
