Abstract


When fitting ploughs, the shares should be fitted first. If the share has more than one bolt, both bolts should be fitted with their respective nuts and tightened up as far as possible with the fingers. In the final tightening up with a spanner, both nuts should be slightly tightened, one at a time until the nuts are bearing the same pressure and a final pull on each in turn will finish the job without fear of breakage. When fitting Chilled cust shares, never lighten one nut up tight and leave the other loose because if there is the very slightest irregularity in the casting, it will crack as soon as the second nut is tightened
