Generally up or down, no other options. If on rubber, could be they couldn;t find 16" tires & put on 15", or so, and this would also mess up the seeding chart.

Skip, I am assuming we are talking #10 Mc Cormick Deering. I am a little confused because a drill is either out of the ground in what you call transport position or it is in the ground in which case I don't understand your description that the discs are lightly dragging the ground. The drill has a trip on it and a mechanical lift, most have a thin(1/4") rod as a trip lever(attached to a heavier lever, some had a rope attatched to the heavier lever on the left side of the drill near the tongue frame, while you are in forward motion and you pull the trip lever the drill should lift out of the ground and have clearance to transport it. In the up position you would again pull the trip lever and the drill should drop the discs into the ground. If they are not going in to the depth of the seed bed and moisture you need to set it by cranking the adjustment so you can adjust the depth setting. That is accomplished by the crank at the front of the drill that is mounted above the tongue. When you have the drill tripped out, you can crank and by watching the distance the discs are from the ground you can see if you are raising or lowering it. To transport I would crank it right up, to sow, I would adjust it so the discs are in the moist part of the dirt , whether that is an inch and a half or three inches, you will adjust according to moisture and weather forecasts. Those old drills are fairly simple. bring your oil can to lube up the chains, the levers to put the machine in gear(two levers at the back, one for each half of the drill).When I think about what you have told us I think you have the drill cranked out of the ground even though the mechanism is tripped "In", that's why the discs are just skimming the top of the ground and you have no clearance to transport. I grew up with the drill, I rode many a mile on the back of that drill watching for my Dad in case anything went wrong, it came to the farm new when I was about 6 and its been here 53 years. If I can help you anymore give me a shout or repost...Mike in Exeter Ontario.
