Regular
share
shown.
The
regular share,
(lllust.
21)
gives the
lowest cost
plowing in most soil
conditions.
The
regular share is
recommended
for nor-
mal plowing
conditions.
Shares, shins, and landsides are held
to
the frog by plow
bolts. When
replacing these
parts,
be
sure the bolts are tightened
se-
curely. After plowing a round, raise the
bottoms
and draw
up
any bolts that have be-
come
loosened.
Note:
The share
bolts have left
hand
threads.
Never permit the share, shin, or land-
side to wear until the frog
is exposed. When
plowing in abrasive
soil,
check
the condition
of
these
parts frequently.
Plowing
with
worn, bent, or broken shares
is poor econ-
omy, and it can result in hard
running plow
and increased
fuel
costs.

soil.

The
landside wear
pad
can be reversed
by
removing its two
attaching bolts and
reinstalling
the
pad top side down.
The
eccentric block
is recommended
for rocky ground. Be sure the
block bears
tightly on the
landside.
The Adjustable
Pitch
Feature
is provided
on
all Super Chief
plow bottoms
to
aid pene-
tration
with worn
shares,
and thus prolong
share life. This
feature
also
provides more
suck
for
additional
penetration
when re-
quired.
Caution
must be taken to
see that this
feature
is utilized correctly.
When
new
shares are being
used the bottom
should be
set in the normal
position.
