14 vs 16 inch plow points

[rrlund]

Does anybody know off the top of their head if an Oliver Raydex 14 inch three bolt point has the same bolt pattern as a 16 inch three bolts? I went over to the place where I always get such things, figuring I'd go in the back room and pull them right out of the bin, but it was empty, All they had was 16s. I didn't have an old one with me to match up. I don't really want to cut the bolts off and go all the way back over to check them. I called the AGCO dealer, all they had was 16 and 18, Shoup only has 14 inch four bolt. Never heard of those. Our plow day is coming up a week from Saturday and both of our plows need new points. If the pattern is the same on a 16, I wouldn't be opposed to torching them off a little out of desperation if I had to.

Not sure how much to trust this site where I pulled this from ('FarmerBob Parts'), but according to them they're the same. Only difference appears to be on 18", where they appear to have an extra hole out at the end.

4 bolt points fit fine. You just have to weld the extra hole shut.

OK, thanks guys. I ordered the 4 bolt from Shoup.

Or you could stick a bolt in the hole.

I'd have to drill another hole in the frog. They came yesterday but I haven't had time to mess with them yet.
