I need this nice an simple boys! I have a #8 2 bottom IHC plow. Its been hooked up and I have cut a bit of ground. I bought a operators manual for it on e-bay. There are two long adjusting levers on this plow, pretty much like all other plows I see in your guys pictures. My manual does not even whisper about these two main levers.

In general terms, what do these levers each do? I will give you a scenerio on flat ground, when I make my first past in the field, the furrow falls back over. Quite depressing. I have to assume that its linked to these arms. So my wife and I go out with shovels, break the thing into pieces and manually roll it over so that I can get into the furrow with the wheels. Once I can run in the furrow, its fine. Text book, nice plowing. I dont want to do too many test runs and fail because what a mess. I think that its properly adjusted on the hitch as per the manual.

So when looking from the hitch end, there is the left lever and the right lever. Can we go over that? If you can believe it, she doesnt want to manually turn the first row over anymore and I want to cut a large area open. I dont know whats wrong with her.

On opening a land (making the first round), raise the right lever to lower the right side of the plow deep enough to level the frame parallel to the ground. The left lever sets the depth of the plow. After the first round, the furrow wheel is in the furrow, instead of on top of the ground, so lower the right lever to level the plow frame. Right and left are when you are standing behind the plow, looking forward in the direction of travel.

JMS: A perfect description. I assure you Jake and his good better half will be able to retire from sod turning.

Thanks! I didn't think that job sounded like a whole lot of fun!

Just re-read the original post- wonder if that really was an OPERATOR manual, not mentioning how to use the levers. Maybe a PARTS manual?

JMS: Probably a parts manual, or operators with a few pages missing. I was just thinking it may not have helped him that much, if he has an old field that hasn't been plowed for a lot of years, and with certain types of grass in sod. I plowed a small field for a neighbor, he called what he had wire grass. I don't know whether that was the proper name for it, but after plowing it seemed right. Good application of roundup cure in that case.
