It takes a lot more than the plow frame number to find the share (point). You have to identify the bottom. AC sold the bottoms separately from the plow frame with different bottoms for different soils and locations. Look on the plow share, moldboard. or frog for a number. Then we can identify the bottom and list the part numbers originally offered for the shares. Most bottoms came in three widths (another important need) and as many as 8 different shares for any of those widths. Shares came in long, short, deep suck, chilled iron, steel, hard surface steel, and other variations all for the same bottom. Nearly all the bottoms interchanged on plow frames, but only some of the landsides interchanged between plow bottoms, most shares, moldboards (shins when used), and frogs are unique to the plow bottom number and size.
There were nearly a dozen bottoms used on the 50 family frames, each in 12, 14, and 16" widths, with 8 to 12 different shares per width, lots of shares, and only some fit andy particular bottom.
I have a plow bottoms book from that era and have listed shares for particular bottoms on this forum before.

I have a plow point # 308804. They are 14" moldboard's and it looks like they are either #325, #25, #24. Going off the operators Manual. I looked for the number once and could not find it but I'll look agin when I get home.

I also need plow points, my WD53 plow will not go in the ground. I have the original owners manual and on the "type bottoms" line is has 325 wrote in. I will go out and look for sure. I would like to take it to plow day sometime, but have never put in the time to find new plow shares or new points.

In my book, 308804 is 14" solid steel share used on the 25 right hand plow with welded frog or 325 bottom. That 325 bottom also has a welded frog. Does not fit the 25 bottom with the forged frog. Looking only at right hand plow bottoms from here on.
12" shares (points) for a 325 bottom include 308800 soft centered steel, 308803 solid steel, and 309245 N.C.D.S. solid steel.
14" shares (points) for a 325 bottom include 308801 soft centered steel, 309246 alfalfa solid steel, 323651 F.C.D.S. soft centered steel, 308804 solid steel, 308837 N.C.D.S. solid steel, 308807 chilled iron, and 309222 N.C.D.S. chilled iron.
16" shares (points) for a 325 bottom include 308802 soft centered steel, 309248 alfalfa soft centered steel, 323652 F.C.D.S. soft centered steel, 308805 solid steel, 308838 N.C.D.S. solid steel, 308808 chilled iron, and 309223 N.C.D.S. chilled iron.
F.C. stands for full cut, N.C. stands for narrow cut. D.S. stands for deep suck, which I take to mean the front of the share is long and bent down. I don't know what the difference for an alfalfa share is. These numbers are from a 1968 vintage plow bottom parts book and at AGCO today probably need a 70 prefix and probably 2/3 of them have been superceded by new numbers.

If plow points are not too bad, you can on some points angle them down to add more suck by changing where the beam bolt to the frog ( if I recall right it was the 70 bottoms that said this, why can you do it others?, Drill a new hole and rebolt. Not everyone plows acres and acres a year ). Maybe you can repoint them or bend the point down. I know, I scraped all of my old points (oliver radex) and runners off of corn planter etc. in the past and from now one I'm saving them for building up others. I getting ready to redo a potatoe digger, and a transplanter.
