Can anyone identify this mole plough please?

Just going to build up the point to keep going but wondered if I could get a replacement point

Yes, a weird one! Anybody else got thoughts? Definitely not a blacksmith job, must have been manufactured by one company or another?

 

[Still Farming]

Mc Connell possibly?

Just looking at where you are based @ploughman1963 did Peter Ginn or Alex and Ruth not knock your mole plough up in the Victorian period did they

This came from a chap in Scotland. Think it would be too much for the horses

This has been fitted onto a bomford chisel plough frame - no other identification

Have they not used a worn expander as a point?

anything here you could adapt to fit (heard you like making waring parts)

Yes, you are right, and thats what I have done - Ill try to remember to get a photo. No, not a made up piece - if you look it is one piece that sits in a machined slot and held on place by 2 x M16 bolts - a very neat, well made piece. Was just hoping to identify as will eventually need a replacement - or just plenty of plough points and welding rods

Thanks but not the one - if you look at the photo the bolts that secure the point pass through the main member at 90 degrees to the direction of travel not in line with the direction of travel. Main member is slotted to accept the machined tongue of the point where the bolts pass through.

I bet if you did find it you would also find it cheaper to fit a standard single piece point?
