If you have the mounts you just need to go to your friendly CIH dealer and ask for plastic trashboards, they are the same for HSKA, Plow Chief, and Super Chief; just the mounting bracket is different. They were nine or thirteen bucks a piece a few years ago.
Was your trash getting caught on the beam above the bottoms? Trashboards aren't going to help, the trash will just get caught in the trashboards. You need to sharpen you coulters with an angle grinder and then adjust them properly so they are adequately cutting the surface trash. Your coulter jointers probably aren't helping the situation either, you should take them off until the coulters are adjusted and you are confident with your plow settings. Coulter jointers work well only when everything else is set properly, otherwise they are a huge pain.
You got one heck of nice plow that is well equipped: coulter jointers, trashboards, Plow Chief bottoms, and the correct moldboard extensions. The jointer blades look like Ford, and I assume the coulters are also, but what the heck, the Ford jointers will probably work better than IH jointers. Also, you should slide the plow hitch forward and use the last hole they give to make the hitch as long as possible. The longer the hitch, the less the hitch angle changes as you change depth or travel over rolling ground. Good luck on your plow adjustments.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
