Hello everybody, I have some questions and I wonder if you could answer them for me. I would appreciate it as I know quite a bit about my '51 Cub and mowing with it, but know absolutely nothing about farming and plowing. I have a one point? turning? plow and I don't know where it came from. It is small and from some pictures I've seen it looks like a Sears or something that originally went on a 3-point behind a small tractor. It turns the dirt over to one side. It has a small disk that I guess scores? the dirt before it's turned. I want to sling this turning plow under my Cub in the belly. I have a pretty good shop, all kinds of scrap metal squares, rounds, pipe, etc. and I am comfortable welding, cutting, fabbing, etc. The Cub does have hydraulics that work good. Should I push the plow with the drawbar back at the back axle or should I pull it from up near the front axle? I do know I want it in the belly so I can watch what I'm doing. Should I hang it from a chain for the up and down or use a piece of metal linkage? Will I have to drive the plow into the ground to get it to dig? What if I hit a rock? Do I need some springs for shock absorbers? Looks don't matter as this is an accessory only. Also, I want to do this on the cheap meaning I don't really want to buy another plow. The garden is small...maybe 60x100 ft and has been used for years but has been fallow for the last 3 years. Thanks a lot in advance, Mark.

On the original cub plow, the drawbar was instlaeed in the forn final drive lounts facing forward. The lock bolts were removed form the ends so it could move up and down. There is a lever that mounts to the right final drive with a link going to the draebar so the drawbar cna move up and down. this si what controls the depth. The plow had a long beam that bolted to the drawbar and let the plow run behind the rear wheel, with a chain going up to the rear rockshaft to lift it. original plow is a 12 inch cut.

You need to pull the plow behind you. To plow with a moldboard plow you drive with your right wheels in the furrow, having the plow in the middle would mean you would be driving your rear wheel on fresh plowed ground , would cause packed ground and poor traction as well as a bad plowinfg job. Original cub plows hooked on the drawbarwith the drawbar mounted in the rear mounts but reversed .The drawbar pivoted on one bolt each side and the plow lifted with the rear lift arm . I would try to see a picture of an original setup and go from there.
