Wheel spacing to plowing

I always owned 2 bottom plows so I know how to figure the desired wheel spacing for them. But what about a one bottom plow? I want to use an Oliver pull type 1 bottom plow with a John Deere H
and I just can't figure it out. I seems that the plow is made to pull almost inline with the landslide. Is that correct?

Thanks,

Brian
 


Just remember that you NEED the width of the plowed Slice to be equal to the Plow's size..( Width of cut slice)..

I have never set up an AC B or C, but the measure from the inside of the rt rear tire and the Landslide ( Coulter?) must be set for the designed width of
slice..
I have seen the AC set-up for an AC "G" and it takes s little imagination to set those up...!!!
 
First off I will tell you i don't know! I would start knowing the width of cut. Let's just use 16" for example. I would move the right rear tire in as far as possible and aliegn the front tire to the back to back tire setting. Because the center of pull is to the right side the other tire settings won't be too important. The end of the share is going to cut to or slightly past the former furrow wall. the rear tire is to run in the furrow not touching the furrow wall. The plow will be attached to the drawbar so the landslide is 16" from the inside of the rear tire. The plow should pull in a straight line. The upper frame assembly should be level while plowing. The end of the landslide should leave a shallow mark. If the front of the plow is too high the plow will not want to go in the ground. If set too low the plow will dive deep and be jerked back up leaving deep holes in the furrow. The big variables that I can't address with no information. Every moldboard is designed for different soils and different depths. The length of cut also plays into thos settings. The front of the plow frame is also adjustable right or left and I do not know where it is set now. If you or a friend have a JD letter tractor owners manual they have all the plowing information in the back section. Have fun!!!
 
All I can say is those Olivers are very hard to hook up to any tractor of any model. Only thing I can think of is set drawbar to center of tractor, then try to set plow hitch so it will pull in a straight line and then figure out with it in the ground where the tractor wheel should be for a previous furrow. Then set tractor wheel acordingly. I would not atempt to do that and get a different plow, one with a cross beam hitch. I had a 3 bottom Oliver that came with a late A John Deere and could not get it set for the wheel tread that I needed for that tractor, Only had for one season and it left for a Deere No 55H plow. It possibly would have worked with the late AR John Deere had gotten later after that plow was gone because it was a low down tractor with a 56" wheel tread and with that A needed nothing less than a 66" tread but wanted a 72" tread so tractor was not running on a side tilt as bad all the time.
