help i.d. plow bottom

That is probably a 374 bottom since it has slats.

Definitely 374. I've used 374 and 394 slat bottoms for years. The flat brace (2nd photo) from outer end of slats is bolted on left side just above the heel. On the 394 bottom the brace looks the same but is bolted on the right side making it a little stronger.

AC often offered as many as a dozen share options for a particular plow bottom.Wide cut, narrow cut, deep suck, regular suck, made of chilled iron, or soft center steel, or hardened through steel. Plus variations for different plow widths. They all work, the deep suck shares could get the plow to go down in reluctant soils. Narrow cut may leave a bit of sod uncut to flip the dirt over more reliably. Soft center steel stands up to hitting big boulders in the ground but wear really fast when the hard surface is worn through to the soft center. Hardened through steel are a bit more brittle than soft center steel so don't like hitting boulders as well but wear a long time. Chilled iron I think wears even better but is most fragile of the options when hitting rocks.

If all else fails you might take a share to a farm store that has a few plow shares and pick one about the same outside dimensions and hopefully the angle and then drill new holes in the frog to take that competitive plow share. There's no way you can drill new plow bolt holes in the share. They have a special shape and the plow share is super hard steel. You might have to grind the left edge angle a bit.

I'll hook up to the plow this weekend and get it up to the barn for a better look and see what I can find for part numbers on it. It has 16 inch bottoms thats all I know. It was getting to the point where the back bottoms didn't want to dig into the ground more than a couple inches and you could sink the front as far as the tractor would let it go.

	This is on a 2000 series monoframe I have. I want to replace the shares so I'm hoping it's a 387 bottom but I don't know how to tell.

	Find a part number on the frog or share and then look it up in the plow bottoms book referenced in the thread AC Plows Parts 101 over in the Knowledge Forum. My 2000 has 392 bottoms. But many bottoms will fit, the frogs for a very long time used the same 9/16" bolts and bolt pattern. Gerald J.

	Check with daveyheplowman first I think he makes 14" shares that fit it. I have a 373 at home non slat and it takes the same share. I boulght387 shares and re drilled the frogs for the new holes. The first hole mached and just needed enlarged. Then drilled to new holes and made a new steak for the forth hole.
