The IH plow sounds like it has Plow Chief bottoms. Some NOS parts are still around for these, but not all. If the ones on the plow you're looking at are decent, they will last a long long time if all you're doing is plowing a couple of acres a year in easy ground.
Plow days are often held in fields that have fairly easy plowing dirt. The ones I've been to, they don't plow very deep either. Wear parts last a long time on land like this.
How do you know what's wore out?
On moldboards, it's easy. If you can cut yourself on the outer edge, it's wore out. Moldboards will wear to a razor's edge on the outside. If there's any thickness there, it will last a long time.
Other parts will look stubby and rounded off. If the plow is up off the ground, look at how much material is left on the shares and whatnot before the plow's framework (frog) comes in contact with the ground. If the share and/or landside is even with the frog, someone ran the wear parts far too long.
I also compare what they look like to pictures of new parts, which you can dig up online.
I'm sure more expert people will be able to give you better ways to judge the condition of plow parts... I'm just a wannabe when it comes to knowing about plows compared to some of these guys, even though my collection has more plows than tractors!

It didn't have a pressure release or electric start to facilitate easy starting but according to the instructions, simply pulling on the trigger while cranking was sufficient. This method of starting proved more than adequate and kept the cost down on the unit. It had all the important
