When I was a kid working in my family's Farmall garage, we carried the IH under-serrated knife sections, the smooth sections, guards, and ledger plates to replace bad ones on the guards. Back then guards were relatively cheap, so only the farmers who were real tightwads bought new ledger plates. We also stocked the Herschel triple-V end section, because it was popular with the local farmers.
