Some people call it a frog and some a mold board. When I worked on the Weyerhaeuser railroad we had a tool for putting cars back on the rails after a derailment that was called a frog. I don't know where the name came from. I learned it from working with older the generation at the time.

Probably a regional thing but what I'm used to referring to as the frog is the heavy piece at the bottom of the moldboard that the cutting edges bolt to.
If the frog becomes your cutting edge you may want to train the operator to keep an eye on GET wear...
No clue why it's called the frog though. Interested to hear.
