 Topic: 2 bottom SC plow
Posted: 26 Jul 2019 at 9:42am |
I need another plow like I need a hole in the head, but I don't have a two bottom and I couldn't live without one any more. Thanks Facebook Marketplace. I assume its a #52 plow, but I am wondering about the solid lift link on the left side? Never seen (or noticed) one before. Don't see anything in the manual about it, and the manual covers both pin hitch and SC type. So there, another one saved from scrap. Any info would be appreciated. I have a three bottom SC plow, the WD pulls it OK in first gear, but its a handful when you get into a wet spot. This one should be a breeze in second. Thanks for looking.

I've got a 3 btm, same 'solid bar' setup. I was going to make it a 2 btm as one pointy piece is busted and still, after 6 years ,haven't got around to welding a patch in. I should just sell or 'find a new home' for it but Murphy says my 3 btm will need parts.....

Not sure but it might be a model 63 with the slanted beams the bottoms are mounted on.

#62. Two bottom. A #63 would be three bottom

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

OK, so where does the 60 series come into play? Is the 60 series an improvement that replaced the 50 series?

And what is the "shock shoe" for? It's a little piece on the landside that swivels on a bushing.

That always seemed backwards to me, since the operator usually dismounts on left side , walk around the plow across a furrow, on plowed ground, bend over further making the adjustment. In my opinion, why not make the adjustment on the land side! IMHO

just that, keep from breaking/bending the share point if plow drops too fast

As you can see from the pics, a 60 series has better trash clearance...
Well since There is no pic of a 50 series, take my word for it, the 60 series with the bent shank just clears trash better... 
Also uses a more modern, straight share...

There is a post over on the Knowledge forum about plows with detailed descriptions of the various AC families of plow frames and a link to a plow frames parts book and a plow bottoms parts book.

I'm speculating a bit here, think the non-adjustable link was just a cost reduction move on AC's part. The adj. link on only one side achieved everything needed and way cheaper to produce. For us, two less threads to rust solid to have to free up!
