CHUCK CAMBIS 01-16-2013 19:16:47 71.128.198.216 Report to Moderator	JD NO. 44 Plow manual OM-A1-1048 Plow is listed as only four types. 44. 44H, 44A, 44AH. The H stands for hydraulic lift. The 44 has fixed tailwheel and transports on front two wheels. 44A has pivoting tailwheel and transports on all three. The drawbars of the two types will have differences. Bought my manual on ebay $25 original and very good condition. [Reply]   [No Email]

The way it sits in the pic, adjust that rod to hold front of hitch 6 in or so higher than the tractor drawbar. Use that as a starting point, adjust as needed after you get the plow in the ground. When in the ground the tailwheel carries the load, there should be some slack in that rod on the hitch. Hooking up to tractor involves pushing down on hitch with your knee, lifting the tailwheel. It has been over 50 years since Dad died & I left the farm, but IIRC, in transport position the tailwheel rides a foot or so above the ground. Willie [Reply]  [No Email]
