Allis 62 Plow

Sorry 'bout that.  For some reason I couldn't get my message in with the photo.  I bought this plow yesterday, and it sure looks like it hasn't done much.  Can this plow be converted to snap coupler?  Also, is there any source of shares for the 373 bottom?  I know they are not available with the large aftermarket companies.  Thanks!

its a cover-board

Your plow is a 72, adjustable frame.  nice find by the way.  I wouldn't modify it if it were me. I'd let some of the D10-12 factory three point owners that have slobber running down their cheeks right now run it up high enough to buy two snap coupler plows, LOL. Shares for that bottom are tough finds. None at AGCO and none at the Wiess or Osmundson tha I am aware of, dealers have old stock and the parts vendors are your sources, I find it easier to re-drill the frogs for a share that is available.

   That is a #72. Not all 70 / 80 series had the cross beam.

Like these guys?

That was nice of you Charlie to help all the guys needing a three point setup to get with Kevin. lol

The clamp on coulters are another hint it could be a 72 from my plow frames book the 62 would have bolted on coulter sockets. Coulters are a lot like plow bottoms, not a part of the plow frame but including in the plow bottoms book and most coulters came with a clamp to fit the bar. And the later larger plows like the 9000 and my 2000 monoframe actually have a stub bar on the shank to take those coulters because the main frame is too high up.

Having only one cross piece, says its a 10 or 12 inch adjustable width, and both the 62 and the 72 for 10 and 12" bottoms are that way. The beams of the 72 have more holes up front than the 62, as does this plow. The 62 and the 72 10/12 don't share main steel parts, but do share hardware like bolts and nuts and a spacer block along with the brace pieces for the shanks, but not the shanks. It may be that the 72 shanks are a bit longer for better crop clearance, I can't tell that from this book.

For other plow frames I've not compared part by part but I sometimes think they were designed to start with bins of bent and drilled bars and could build 50, 60, 70, and 80 from those bins without having to pick a different bar for a different model plow except where there's a difference for adjusting the width on the 70 and the 80 and that some of the same bars ought to fit 2, 3, 4, and 5 bottom frames. But there may be more subtle differences than I've detected from the parts book.

In the 14 and 16" plow frames, the 50 has vertical shanks and fixed width, the 60 has slanted shanks and fixed width, the 70 has slanted shanks and adjustable width, and the 80 has trip slanted shanks and adjustable width. But the trip shanks are shown separately also with the notes they fit 60 and 80 frames depending on which shank page I look at. So the mounting holes for angled shanks and trip shanks are the same and they could have been interchanged, or ordered that way. In the 70 and 80 two bottom roll over plows (and I've found a 60 2 bottom roll over too) the frame bars are the same, just the 70 seemed to have straight shanks and the 80 had trip shanks.

Identifying plow frames for sure is getting more complicated the more I study them. Their were inconsistencies and options that blur the picture.
