I have a '41 JD "B" and a two bottom plow. How do I determine the location of the farrow wheel? I currently have the rear wheels all the way out, but I'm pretty sure I need to slide one or both in. I remember dad sliding the wheels in before plowing every spring, but never ask how he knew where to place them. Thanks in advance for any ideas and information. Steve

It needs to be as narrow as posible considering all safty factors but the plow can be adjusted for the wheels out in cultivator position like the J D GP wide tread or the wide tread Farmall F20, F30 and regular, these were plowed with and the 80"+ tread but it did not work as good as a narrower tread does, on our row crops, Included a 46B, 49B, 51A J D and 41 H farmall we kept the tread at 66" and we could cultivate 40" rows or plow and was not narrow enough to have to worry about rollover but then we did not have the hills, on one farm I rented I did have a hill like that and did not use the row crop tractor on, Also had a J D AR 1950 model low to ground was I forget either a 56 or 60" tread and used it there

When hooking the 2 bottom Ollie plow behind the red tractor; or the 3 bottom Ollie plow behind the Ollie 88, the furrow wheel had to be slid pretty much all the way in on either tractor. The other side of the tractor was typically left in mid position somewhere, but was not really fooled with wherever it was. (if left all the way out, it may affect your steering as one rear wheel will get a lot more traction than the other - but it isn't critical as far as setting up the plow & getting to work.)

If the plow came from some other tractor, it might need to be adjusted some in the hitch as well. The tractor wheel & the plow wheel on the furrow side need to line up right behind each other.

Measure the distance from the plow hitch to the sidewall of the furrow wheel on the plow. Move the furrow wheel on the tractor in untill you get the same distance from the draw bar center to the furrow wheel tire sidewall. The landside wheel should be about the same. The later model two cylinder tractors have a slot in the battery box to use as the tractor center line.
