Just bought a Ford 101 three bottom plow for $375. Has lots of wear, so I plan to restore it. I have three questions for you plow experts.
First, I am having trouble finding landsides. The rear is 21 " with 5 holes and the other two are 16" with 3 holes. If I don't replace these, my frog is going to wear. Has anyone found these? I understand Crescent Forge is not in business.
Also need a rear rolling landside, just the "dish" (a 13" diameter with 4 holes spaced 2.5"). My hub and assembly are o.k.
And what do you use for shear pins. I assume Grade 8 5/16 bolts. Is this correct? I popped two today the first time I used it on rocky soil. Any tips here?
Lastly, do I paint it original Ford blue, or go with Kubota orange??
Thanks for the previous advice on plows. I hate to keep bugging everyone.
