SHARES
General
All shares are interchangeable. The bottoms can be
changed from regular cut to undercut or overcut,
depending on the size of shares used.
Share, shins and landsides are held to the frog by
plow bolts. When replacing these parts, be sure the
bolts are tightened securely. After plowing for awhile,
raise the plow bottoms and tighten the bolts that are
loose.
NOTE:
The plow share bolts have left hand threads.
Special attention should be given to the three 5/8
inch bolts that attach the plow bottoms to the beams.
These must be checked periodically to maintain a
torque of 200 lb ft (270 Nm).
Never let the plow share, shin or landside show wear
so that the frog is exposed. When plowing in
abrasive soil, check the condition of these parts
frequently. Plowing with worn, bent or broken shares
can result in the plow working inefficiently and
increased fuel costs.
Flat Share
The flat shares give the lowest cost plowing in most
soil conditions.
Heavy-Duty Upset Share
T h e h e a v y - d u t y u ps e t s h a r e h a s t h i c k n e s s
throughout the whole front portion for added strength
when used in rocky conditions and for more wear in
extremely abrasive soil.
Deep Suck Share
The deep suck share has a point designed for more
aggressive action, giving quicker entry and more
stable plowing depths in hard ground.
Deep suck and upset shares are available with
factory applied hard surfacing. Note however, that
hard surfacing is not recommended for rocky
conditions.
NOTE:
To reduce landside pad wear, twin pad
landside is available. This is also effective in solving
plow over cutting. Contact your dealer for further
information.
The landside wear pad can be reversed by removing
its two attaching bolts and reinstalling the top side of
the wear pad down.
MA10005
The stop or landside block is recommended for rocky
ground. Be sure the landside block fits tightly against
the landside.
The Adjustable Pitch Feature (eccentric washer) is
provided on all Super Chief plow bottoms to help
penetration with worn shares thereby increasing the
life of a share. This feature also provides more suck
for additional penetration when required. Caution
must be taken to see that this feature is used
correctly. When new shares are being used, the plow
bottom must be set in the normal position.
