The new picture is from Westlake's but the rear hole looks different from mine.
Not just the hole, the shape is wrong as well.Be as well to get some half inch plate and make one.
The share to board fit is bad as well.Share should be flush to a 32nd above the board,and tight to the board. With a gap like that, soil can build up and take all the shine from the slice.

Well spotted the share is not fitted just sitting there.
 
Next question please, ploughing 10'' with yl44 share do you trim the wing down?
Some do, some don't....I don't cut perfectly good 44's down, I tend to put 57's on instead when I think I need them i.e. Hard stony ground. I did "follow" others years ago and cut some down, couldn't see any difference.... Ransome probably made more different styles of shares than anyone and I've never seen any that resemble the cut down ones...

Horses for courses...

I cut mine down to 6.5" to provide a hinge and keep pressure on the boards. The effect varies with soil type but I always produce my best results on heavier soils which comes as a surprise when people realise I come from Norfolk. I have probably won more matches in Essex, Bedfordshire, and south west Cambs than I have won on Norfolk "boys land"

Yep, that's the theory I was told, create a hinge. I suppose the 57's kind of do that as they're probably circa 6" wide...
 
Made a wide one, used it a time or two and gave up....just stick with a std share. Might have another go at making one for the rear, maybe my first was a little ambitious!
You plough at National level and you don't use one!
You came placed several times at the nationals with non-genuine boards!
No fancy moveable headstock or anything fancy on your plough!
Just a simple plough!
You really can plough!
I wish all the top ploughmen were like you that would stop people playing about with original ploughs and making fancy shares.
How long have you been ploughing for?

Thanks for the nice comments. Maybe 93’ish I think, messed around with a fergie for a good few years, got the Ransome in 99/2000, done about 8 nationals, placed 4 times. Takes frcikin’ years to get any good, I’m surprised I have the patience!!
