I'm trapped out here in Pasadena for two straight weeks, so I have no close up pictures to backup my posting, but here's the deal.

My new (to me) 2-14" Eagle Hitch plow will not properly engage with the left side lift arm. The Eagle claw or top clamp interferes with the top bend of the plow mount.

Could it be that I need a right hand versus a left hand clamp? I know it's somewhere in the parts book which is on my desk, 2,000 miles away, but could someone shed some light as to what it might be, and what I could do about it?

Thanks as always in advance!

Frank

In my other reply I just talked about the plow, when I look at that little Case I have to comment on what a nice job I see going on there. really neat, keep up the good work, I'm working on another 311 wide front and that'll be part of my inspiration...Roger

Well, the photo is a year or so old, and she has been my chore tractor steady for a year now. I have scratched the paint off of the hitch points, but she still looks pretty good. All my neighbors want to buy it.

But, thank you just the same!

I don't mean to discourage you, but I'll be surprised if this tractor can pull these plows. My neighbor has a set like these and they seem hard to pull. I don't think my dad's VAC would pull them. Are these VAC plows?

We pulled a set of those plows with a VAC-14 in 3rd gear here in DE. Keep in mind 3rd gear in a VAC-14 is about the same as 2nd in the other VAC's. Regards Martin

Well, I do live in Forida and the soil is very sandy here. I tried it the other day and it handled it well enough for the little bit that I will plow.

Frank: There is a difference in left and right latches (the moveable part). I thought the only difference was which side the eyelet the spring engages was on...but it may get in the way of your plow... Looking at your tractor picture it appears you have the later version of the hitch (VT579) The rear inside surface has a notch in it..the older version was smooth top to bottom (inside rear) The later version used a different latch.
VT615 New # A28942 Left side
VT 614 new #A28941 right side

There's a spring just under the green top piece that you adjust for resistance, and if you can still loosen the nut on that spring you can make it trip easy. Apply as much lubricant as possible on the roller etc. I recently acquired one of the plows also, used one with my 300 when farming also, nice plow. Not sure about your hitching eagle claw problem??

Thanks! That makes sense. I'll just count the turns it takes to remove the nut, and return it to there when I am finished. That'll be a good place to start.

Oh by the way.....how do you go about tripping the green assembly to remove it from the plow for painting?

I thought I could chain the plow to a train and start out in fourth and then when I hit the end of the chain.....
