Dearborn 2 bottom reduced to one bottom

[msjanket]

I've got an old Dearborn 2 bottom, 14". I want to take off the bad right hand bottom and move the left bottom over and then cut off the support arm of the left bottom. Like, make a 2 bottom into a single bottom.

I've taken off the nuts on the 3 large, fine threaded bolts. Taking the bottom off is a sticky wicket, can't seem to get 'er off no matter how I pound it. The 3 large bolts that connect the bottom to the support arm are not moved easily, the support arm is wedged to the back side of the back of the moldboard.

Anybody done this before? Is there some hidden bolt I'm not seeing that is holding the bottom onto the support arm? I want to put the left bottom onto the right side. Do I have to wreck the bolts or cut 'em off to get the bottom off?

I can't see a picture of it but if your modifying it I would cut them off or pound the crap out of them with a 20 pound sledge. If that didn't work I'd find someone with a torch and just torch them off.

I spent a lot of time replying to multiple questions you posed on a Deere #25 single bottom plow last week.

It would have been Common Courtesy to acknowledge the effort with a Thank You before commencing another plow thread.
