MYSTERIOUS "SHOCK SHOE" SOLVED

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

       It has become quite obvious that the mysterious "shock shoe" has nothing to do with the actual act of "plowing" after all. I was under the impression that it was there in case the plow actually hit a buried object such as a boulder or tree root, to ease the impact or some how absorb it. Gerald was 50% right, "placed on weakest bottom". Tracy was 50% right, "keep from breaking the points if plow drops or falls quickly on a hard surface". But , IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ACTUALLY PLOWING, as the "shock shoe" only works from the 9 0'clock to 6 O'clock position. Not at the 3 O'clock position needed for an impact. A/C engineers offered this protection in the event the plow was lowered or "DROPPED" onto a concrete or other hard surface. I believe Allis should have just stated this fact in their assembly instructions.
