Allis-Chalmers #2 two bottom trip plow

I just acquired an Allis-Chalmers #2 two bottom plow today. I am in need of the moldboards, shares and landsides as well as either another set of steel wheels or some wheels that have been made to have air tires on them. This being the great group it is I decided to check with y'all first. Thanks for any help you can give me in finding these parts. I want to make this plow fully functional again

For nearly all the plow bottoms in the plow bottoms book there were multiple shares, shears, blades offered. Shares, shears, and blades are different territorial names for the same part, indeed in the plow bottoms book, some were called shares, some called blades. There were multiple shares for each bottom with different characteristics and materials. They were made of chilled iron which wore the best but broke more easily when hitting boulders. Some were made of steel hardened all the way through that didn't wear as good as chilled iron but survived some rock impacts. And then some were made of soft centered steel that were the toughest in rock impacts, but when the hard surface wore through the center wore very rapidly. Then there were wide cut shares, narrow cut shares, deep suck shares, and normal suck shares. Deep suck shares had a longer nose turned down.

There aren't good pictures to identify plow bottoms. The illustrations in the parts book don't show the variations in moldboard shapes between similar bottoms, but show the details looking into the frog from the bottom. Occasionally that view is unique enough to identify a bottom. The reliable way to identify bottoms and parts is to find an AC part number on frog, share, shin (if separate), or share. Landsides tended to be shared with many bottoms. You can list the numbers you find and we can look them up or you can download the plow bottoms parts book from www.grandpastractor.com/phpBB3/index.php where there is also a plow frame parts book to help identify the plow frame from details.

Have any part numbers

 I agree, keep what you have for parts. 

I'll have to locate my plow parts book and see if I can nail down the part numbers

Yeah Dave the plowman. I think he runs an ad in the old Allis news. Gonna have to look him up after I identify the part numbers for shares, moldboards and landsides.

Does the trip mechanism work?  Might want to make sure before dumping a lot of money into it.  I doubt if you could find parts to fix one unless you bought a better plow!
