Since the old shins are shaped the same as the moldboards everything looks custom made. I remove the bottom bolt from the moldboard near the shin. I use a longer bolt to fasten the old shin through the bottom hole onto the moldboard. Then I put a bead of weld on top of the old shin and mold-board.

Now my moldboards seem to last forever."
