Where can I measure to figure out whether the turning/moldboard plow I have is an 8", 10", or 12"? I can't find any markings on it to tell. Thanks

from the main beam of the plow at a 90 degre angle, measure from the tip of the shear to the line in line with the end of the shear. You can also uas a square fron the end of the shear at a 90 to the point and measure the distance on the square.

Where do you measure on a plow to determine if you have 16 or 18 inch bottoms? I bought a IH 720 5 bottom plow last January and was told it was 16 in bottoms. I measures from the plow point to the coulter ( lined up straight with bottom) and got 18 in.

I don't have a picture, but you should be able to measure from a point on the frame/beam that the bottom bolts to over to the same spot on the next bottom.

measuring from plow point to the coulter just gives you a rough idea. A lot of the time the coulter shaft is ofset an inch or two away from the plow point.

Lay a straight edge along the landslide either forward or backwards & then measure the distance from it to the tip of the share of the next bottom. On older plows many times there was a brace that the coulter bolted to. If your plow is built that way you can measure the distance between the braces to determine bottom width.
