Is anyone familiar with the MF55 manual flip plow?
I just bought one. I tried to get a schematic from a MF dealer but they didn't have one. I was able to get parts for it with no trouble. The dealer said this thing could be flipped from the seat. Is there a lever of some sort that attaches to the spring loaded handle or what? I am also missing a gauge wheel on one side.Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
T.Davis

There is a yoke atop of the center link but is the plow supposed to flip on its on by some means like when I turn around or what? Thanks,

TD: As I recall, the yoke is connected to a latch that released a chain connected to a spring that was wound one way around the central frame near the front. When ploughing, that chain was under tension from the spring and when you raised the plough, the latch was tripped and the spring tension rotated the plough around the axis of the central frame and wound the chain the other way around the frame. There was usually not enough travel to relatch the latch(!), but dropping the plough into work pulled it upright the rest of the way and reset the latch. I think. It was a while ago. Good Luck. Tom

Tom has it pretty close. There is a 'D' handle which when adjusted properly presses against the upper arm of your three point hitch. This releases the latch (lower right) and the plow rotates around - Lots of grease and many adjustments later you will get it right. Just loosen the two bolts on the vertical arm that the 'D' handle moves up and down and eventually you will get it. Be careful when adjusting the 'D' handle though if you adjust it so it hits the third arm to soon you may break it (worst case), or you wont be able to raise your plow enough to alow for a complete rotation. If it hits it to late it wont do anything except make you get out of your tractor and try it again. My plow rotates one way better than the other. The problem I am having is that I think there is a shear pin in the main rotation beam and my plow wont spin. Actually when I set it into the ground it just lays over on it's side. Do you know of any shear pins or adjustmnets??? I'm running out of sunshine.

thanks Jeff

T: I thought there was a yoke over the top link that tripped the latch when the plough was raised, because every time these things are raised they trip. Kind of a good idea to do away with auxiliary hydraulics, but a stout pain in the butt if you have to raise the plough for an obstruction and then want to carry on in the same direction. Tom
