Ford 101 Plow

[chrisp1961]

After lots of looking I finally purchased a Ford 10-458 three bottom moldboard plow. The plow is in good shape but needs to have the wearable parts changed. I would like to know where to purchase parts from.

Shoup has more moldboard plow wear parts than most.

Note that some Ford 101 series plows were made by Oliver.

Shoup includes shipping if you spend enough ($200?) but mostly deals with bigger implements. Wider availability is Sloan Express, I think in Illinois. Don't know where you live but I have two or three lightly used moldboards as well as three of the new weld-on triangle corners that go near the landslide. Also have three "frogs" that everything bolts to and I think a 101 owner's manual. They are good medium duty plows that do a good job but pull a little hard. Part numbers are stamped on all the backsides.

I'm pretty sure Oliver parts aren't going to fit on a 101 Ford plow but if you ever run across an old Oliver in good shape, buy it. They are well made and pull easy. They did make for lots of companies as well as their own brand. White bought them out but it's hard to find Whites in two or three bottoms. Oliver did make the next two sizes up of Ford heavy duty, large frame plows, or at least the bottoms, and those are a great buy in the 80 HP+ category. They are heavy plows and old Olivers bring good money.

A good thing about the Ford 101 plow is the ability to remove bottoms if you can't pull it. All the frame parts have the same holes so it's easy to take off. At auction, a four bottom might sell for half the price of a two or three bottom when all you have to do is take off what you don't want. Easy-peasy.

Many of the wear parts are available at your NH dealer, or check with Messicks. You'll also find some at Rural King or TSC.

I found 104404 stamped on the moldboards. Has the Ford logo stamped as well.

When I refurbished mine a few years back, I think I got the main wear parts locally (shins and shares/points). I'm pretty certain I get the sliding landsides from Messicks, but I haven't installed them, just on a shelf until those on the plow are a little more worn. For the little bit most of us plow with these, they will last a long time.

Go to Sloan's Express or Shoup Parts and their replacement parts will list the number replaced. There are 12-14-16" plows so there will be a number for each.

Wait, I did it for you and a 104409 came up. I searched the net and found this below that says it's a 14" plow with 12" bottoms. Could be.

Wish I was closer but measure between the width of the frame and it's either 12", 14" or 16". I'll bet you have a 14" plow and I'll bet it's an early one that's red. This is easy to figure out but not always easy the first time. Ford put a lot of combinations together. For now, I'm going with 14" plow and you need to maybe have somone there verify that for you. If so, and you are replacing the moldboards, you could use the 104409 number that's 14". Well, unless you want 12".

It's confusing at the moment but it's how we all learned. Dig around a little and we'll help however we can.


Oh, don't even think of OEM parts. When I priced some out years back and got the price, I thought the guy was kidding me.

Here's more and I'll bet they're the OEM maker.

Thanks for all the helpful information. The plow is red in color.
