Badly bent tabs on plow frame.

Any thoughts on how to straighten these back out? Heat and persuasion?

I doubt you'd need heat for those. Pry them straight with a good size adjustable wrench, pipe wrench, small pipe to slide over it, vice grips, channel locks... any of those would probably work.

All I want to add to Kevin's good suggestion is holding it in a vise or clamped to a table/workbench so you only bend where you want.

Grant, I have one of those laying around for a WF someplace, you can have it if you want it but I'll need to dig it out of the pile
