Oliver 242 Disc Question

Hey fellas. I have an old Oliver 242 disc I bought used a few years ago and have a question. When disking, it leaves a kind of hump in the middle behind the plow where the discs have piled the dirt inward. I was wondering how to get rid of that hump and thought that maybe the disc originally came with a sweep or something attached just aft of the discs, or, maybe, it just needs some sort of adjustment. From looking at it, I don"t see how to adjust that out by re-positioning the angle of the gangs, but I"m certainly open to any advice. Thanks in advance for your help.
 
sounds like you have too much weight shifted on the rear gang. Adjust with the screw jack or pull a drag behind.
 
maybe the back gang is too aggressive. try to adjust it up some so it doesn"t throw so much dirt.
 
There was a center spring shank available as an option. Don't remember offhand if it had a sweep or straight tooth.
 
Either rear gang set with too much angle or needs leveling, probably. Could also come from mismatched wrong size blades. That spring shank was just for breaking up the 2" wide strip between the blades on the front gang and was between the front and rear gangs, did not do anything to level,
 
Thanks for the advice fellas. I'll see if I can adjust the rear gang and also double check the disc size. I believe they are all the same size except the ones on the very end.
 
The hump in the middle is kinda the nature of the beast.Look at the other poster's answers.It could also be you are driveing too fast.
