Mccormick 70 plow?

Hello I am in the process of reducing a 5 bottom plow to 4 bottoms. Need to know the length of the tailwheel lift linkage for a 4 bottom. The one currently on the plow looks homemade and I don't think that it is the correct length for a 5 bottom. Thanks, Mike

Can't help you on the length, but I can help you on figuring out the length. I've had to do this no a couple of 60 plows:

Raise the front of the plow all the way up, then use a come-along to run the tailwheel mechanism so it lifts the rear and sits level in transport position. Then adjust your lift rod for that situation.

Thanks for the tip. I will try that this evening. I was able to get
as far as putting the frogs on last night so hopefully mounting
the wear parts will go smoothly. Plows are no different than a
tractor it seems start out to fix one thing and it kind of
snowballs from there. Bought this five bottom a couple weeks
ago because it had trip beam and was a trip lift. Moldboards
and shares looked good sitting there settled down in the dirt. It
was not until I had it I my trailer that I noticed that the
landslides had worn off completely and ruined the frogs also. It
should still be a nice useable plow for my TD 35 or TD40 when
I'm done I hope
