Anyone know the procedure to adjust the draft levers on these plows. These are the levers with the squeeze grips and are about 4ft long and extend forward to the driver.

Thanks.

BlueLite: Every thing I say will be from rear of plow looking foreward in relation to right and left. When you strike out a field the right lever and wheel must be set quite deep to compensate for the fact your right wheel is not in a furrow that first round. From there the two levers are just used to set depth as well as set plow level while in furrow. All settings must be done with plow in the ground. Changes should be made a notch or two at a time. When in furrow I try to keep the left just a wee shade deeper than right. No one can give you exact settings as they will vary depending on the amount of wear on points and shares. If you find your plow not going deep at any settings. With it out of ground place a straight 2x4 along the bottom of the landside to the point. If this makes the end point the point look like a sled runner, that will be exactly how it is working. That MH No.26 is one of the nicest plows of that era. It is the plow of choice in competition plowing, at the antique classes. No one can tell you exactly where to set, you will just have to do a little trial and error. I suggest when you get into plowing and have specific questions a host of guys on here can answer. Good plowing.

That's great! just what I was looking for.

Thanks for the tips.

The plow points and coulters are in good condition. 1 rear board is broken after the previous owner hit a stone. He had the sense to keep the piece so I'll weld it back on using 7018 rod.

I paid 40$ for the plow, but later he gave me a GIANT 8A sickle bar mower complete with almost new spare blade. I replaced the wooden push rod with a hickory one and now that works great.

BlueLite: Where did you tell me you live? I know you are to the east of me somewhere. I had about 3 guys tell me where they lived, all near the same time. I haven't got it straight yet. If I remember correctly you are the guy who almost had a tunnel through the snow with one of the British IH diesels and a snowblower. Right or wrong? If I'm right send me an e mail, then we can talk competition plowing.
