Hey all, so I put the plows on the tractor, put all the pieces on and I only scrap the surface. The liftall system,is it Hydraulic or pneumatic, it picks the plows up and they lock out then i release the lever, is the liftall supposed to pull the shaft back in and put pressure on the blade to go in the ground?

The plow (almost all plows) does not have down pressure on it. It must be adjusted (and sharp) so it pulls itself into the soil.
The front mount point of the plow beams, shown below the pneumatic cylinder in your picture, is adjustable up and down. The
higher it is the less angle the plow shares have to the ground. the lower, the more aggressively it tries to pull into the
ground. Worn shares and/or points (if separate on your model) are the other main contributor to penetration. Way compacted dry
soil, especially clay, will be almost impossible to plow when dry. Jim

ok that bar where the plows mount does turn up and down, I did put the spring bar on that is not shown there. would it help if I added weight? also does the lift all use hydraulic oil? when i took the hose of and tested it a little fluid shot out, but it was like little burst of air

No hydraulic oil. I have not owned one of them, but many on this forum do. I believe there is lubrication required. Purchasing
an owners manual for the tractor, and the Liftall. The exhaust has unburned hydrocarbons, water, CO2, CO, and nitrogen in it, The
water vapor condenses in the cylinder and shows up as ugly water residue. Jim

The pressure from the exhaust does the lifting. The lever mounted on the bell housing determines the depth the plow goes into the ground gravity lets the plow go down when you release the lever. Why isnt the plow hooked up to the assy in the pics. No shaft moves in the operation of the plow nor is there any spring to make them move. I used one of those plows for yrs plowing gardens. You will do yourself a big favor getting the owners manual for the plow. its the A-187 also get the manual for the exhaust system. Your system must be working or it wouldnt raise the plow a little oil on the moving parts will help in lifting them. Ask any other questions and i will be glad to help or you could call 319-430-3907 anytime

Hi, years ago when my Dad plowed dry and hard ground with an IH Super C and a 2 furrow plow attached similar to your A's (except
SC had live hydraulics), he would adjusted the lever on the hitch part that is under the bell housing to the lowest setting so the
plow points were digging to the maximum and then he would plow one pass on each headland with the furrows facing into the field.
Then he would adjust the plow to proper level and then as he came to the plowed furrow on the headland he would drop the plow.
This allowed the plow to dig into the ground in the open furrow. Hope this makes sense to everyone.

The front hitch of the plow must be adjusted as low as possible to get started. That is the front of the plow beam must be as close to the
ground as possible. This tilts the plow so the points can dig in. It may take a few furrows to get going. Once you have a furrow and the tractor
wheel is running in the furrow, you may be able to raise the front up some which will control how deep the plow goes.
