Parts for the original style bottoms that came on the #8 plow are not available. That's true. You can't realistically expect replacement parts to be available for something made in the 1920's that isn't "$exy" like a tractor.
There used to be a place called Crescent Forge that made the old plow parts, but they were very expensive. Crescent Forge went out of business a few years ago, and were looking for a buyer up until this summer. Supposedly they were threatening to sell everything to the Chinese for scrap in hopes of finding a buyer.
Anyway, the only type of bottom that parts are currently being manufactured for now is the SUPER CHIEF type. These bottoms are still sold new by CaseIH.
The cheap way out is to weld some additional material on your current bottoms, but if they're too far gone, you should consider converting to Super Chief. They bolt right on the #8 frame.
If you go out and buy all the parts new, you'll easily put $500 into each bottom. Best to find a newer plow and cannibalize the bottoms off it, then sell the rest for scrap.
You can install a 14" Super Chief bottom on your 12" plow. The width of cut is determined by how the bottoms are spaced, not by the size of anything on the plow bottom itself.

Out of the yard, over the cows and bale piles, through the dozer piles, poplars, and brush, out onto the ditch grade road, past the noisy 6.2 diesel engine pulling my well traveled Suburban along. Well it sure didn't take me long to figure out what it was because I alrea
