Farmall 100 plow question

So the saga continues, I called carter and g, and they didn't find the part numbers on parts depot. They gave me another place to call for a used one..JP something I think was the name. They don't have anything either. So I'm ba ck to the beginning.
 
If you are plowing that many acres why not opt for a double bottom plow or disc plow. I have a friend that is going to scrap out a trailing plow that might fit your tractor. Waiting for a call to go see it.
 
That is odd about C&G not finding the parts at the depot. Maybe the online customer listing (which I just checked again) isn't up to date. Did you talk to Ken Updike?

I am from Town of Hanover/Forestville.
 
Jim, I did talk to ken, and dan, they sent me to the other place and I talked to jamey there. (i have the name of the place written down in my truck) but no one seemed to have anything new or used. I am considering a trailer plow. Something that is like a jd 44 or little genious. I don't know if I can pull 2 14's I think I can because my soil is pretty easy going. I would like an IH single bottom trailer or double, but they don't seem to be around here. Lots of the jd 44 though. I'm open to any and all suggestions. I will be plowing 10 acres at least per year. What should I get guys? (don't say another tractor I love this one)
Jim, that's pretty close! If you are ever in the area you'll have to drop in.
 
Definitely IH, can't say for sure what model, probably a mounted plow for a C. If all that is with it is what is in the picture, it is far from a complete plow for a C. The bottoms would give you 2 spares that will bolt onto your current plow. Landsides may be too short for ideal operation.
 
It's going for $100 bucks, but if the bottoms are the same vintage then I'm not really out of trouble yet. I'm starting to think maybe a trailer plow is my only option in order to have parts readily available. How much do those IH trailer jobs go for? Say a single 16 or 18 or even a double 14? The JD 44 manual trip double 14's around here are $200-$400. I guess you can get parts for them too. But I'd like IH to match if I could.
 
Whether you have a mounted plow or a trailer plow, the parts question still comes back to what bottoms are on the individual plow. I think most of the trailer plows you find are going to be as old as what you already have. Your BBA bottoms were made until 1961. Different versions of Plow Chief were made from 1950 to 1970. Plow Chief was the replaceable point type. Super Chief bottoms were made starting in 1956. You can at least get new (Chinese) points for a Plow Chief and most parts for a Super Chief. I have no idea about parts availability for a Deere plow.

I can't get much of a look at the shares in the picture of the mystery plow, but at least the second bottom looks pretty good. My suggestion was that plow might be all the spare parts you will need.
 
I have finished my plowing for the season and I took my plow off today. I wire brushed it all over and greased it and set it up off the ground in the barn. Now I also took down all the numbers, here they are for the record:
Plow is an A-193
mold board O-3068 HO
Shin PO1838
Share OA692DS (SOLID)
Landside 2098A
Frog PO16966
Beam 512504R1

I would also like to note that there was a "52" stamped in the share separately. It looks to be factory. Also the frog number was tough to make out.
 
Thanks again for the help Jim. The plow is plowing great right now so I think I will just keep my eyes open and scrounge around for some original parts. It just plows so nice to abandon.
 
Keep an eye out for the replacement parts, but also keep an eye out for a plow with Super Chief bottoms that you can cannibalize.

Don't pay more than $100 per bottom for the plow, and if you do find one and have a few spares, find me. I'm from just North of Arcade (North Java area), and I visit there often. I'd gladly take whatever you didn't use off your hands because I've got a Little Genius and a Cub plow that need new wear parts.

BTW, you'd have a rough time pulling a trailer plow with your 100. Mounted plows transfer the downward pull from the bottom to the tractor, increasing traction. Trailer plows do not, so the tractor has to pull the plow with brute force. Even though a Farmall H doesn't have much more horsepower than a 100, it can pull a 2-14 trailer plow easily because it's so much heavier and has much larger tires.
 
If I find something good I'll let you know, you do the same. I really like how the drawbar plow plows so that is what made me get over the trailer idea at least for now. I really like the job my plow does. Beautiful furrows turned all the way over and slightly broke up, pulls like it's not even there. (i have great soil) and there its less needed headland space with the mounted plow.
 
Don't forget you could always go with a 1 point Fast Hitch with your Farmall 100. They made 1 and 2 bottom plows for the Fast Hitch as well as Disk Harrows, Bush Hogs, Planters, and many more implements. Basically just back up and go, without leaving the tractor. PM me if you're intrested in knowing more. I've got tons of implements and a fast hitch I can send you pictures of to show you what it looks like and how it works
