 Topic: Plow bottoms for #53
Posted: 15 Mar 2011 at 8:49pm |
Another post got me thinking about our #53 plow. The bottoms on it are shot, so I am in need of three good usable bottoms for ours. It may be cheaper to buy another parts plow, and if I have to go that route that is okay. Anybody out there have any they would want to get rid of?
Thanks
Adam

What bottoms? There were at least a dozen different bottoms that fit the 53 plow frame. They aren't in the same parts book as the plow frame. You need to find a number on moldboard, frog, share, or shin, maybe the landside, though landsides were used on many bottoms, then we can find part numbers from the plow bottom's parts book. Sometimes I can tell bottoms apart from a view of the bottom from the bottom, generally as if it was laying on its left side, is how they are pictured in the plow bottoms book.

Is the plow frame for the 53 with 14" bottoms the same as the frame with 16" bottoms?

No, the 50 and 60 series are fixed width on the multiple bottoms. Adjustable frame width is one of the features of the 70 and 80 families. And then they only changed two inches, so could be 12 and 14, or 14 and 16, but not 12, 14, and 16.

What is a bullet blade?
Thats what I thought Gerald. I have a two bottom 70 series with 14's on it now. May spread it for 16's.
I need a three 16 plow for my 45.

A bullet blade is a plow share or some call it a shear.
In my plow bottoms books, bottoms before 331, 332, and 333 the cutting edge is called a plow share. For bottoms 331, 332, and 333 the cutting edge is called "BLADE, bullet." For those bottoms they offered regular and heavy duty, left and right hand in 12, 14, and 16"
In 361, 362, and 363 bottoms they also offered narrow and regular cut bullet blades.
In the 374 they offered heavy duty, economy and stoney bullet blades.
They didn't offer stoney for 375 unless it had a trash coverer shin. For that in 14" they also offered a narrow stoney.
So it kind of looks like a new plow designer came along and renamed the share to a bullet blade.

Once I found the numbers Gerald was talking about (363) I called Sandy Lake and they used their parts locator to find a place in Texas that had three heavy duty blades in stock. I payed $90 with shipping.

Okay guys the numbers I got off the plow bottom (stamped on backside) are 309215 also they have an ink stamp (like shown above) that says "No. 24-14RR"
Hope this helps some.
Thanks

Those are definitive. The 309215 number is for the moldboard that fits a number 24 right hand bottom and it works for 12 or 14" width. Which matches the description.
There are two styles of frog, but they take the same moldboard and plow shares. On frog has a bolted draw rod bracket and the other is welded. That draw rod hooks on a hook (308818) that's not a part of the share, but separate.
Shares that fit #24 14" RH are:
Soft Center steel
323654 FCDS
308861
Solid Steel
308864
308880 NCDS
308879 NCCS
Chilled Iron
309234 NC Stoney
308235 NCDS
308867
FC means full cut, NC means narrow cut. DS means deep suck (long nose turned down) CS means common suck, I think.
Landside plates come in three sizes, 26", 15" and 9" 310653, 311386, and 315981 and all use the same slip shoe 304059.
I don't know which share works best in your ground or mine. Probably you will take the shares you can find and be happy with whatever characteristics they have. I think the long landsides would be best when pulling with a flexible hitch and not so necessary (and they would add friction) with a stiff tractor hitch.
I don't know where to find them.
