I take it your rear tires are 76 inches center to center for 38 inch rows. That would be about 29 or 30 inches from the center of the tractor to the inside of the rear wheel depending on the tire size of your tractor. Although you would need to see the manual for your molboard plow, this is pretty close if not a little wide for the the setting you might expect to find on a 3 or 4 bottom moleboard. And, you would want to set the inside of the front tires the same as David B. said to use this plow. However, for small hobby fariming, I find that it is not worth my trouble to move my wheels when turning with a molboard if I am close on width as I can do fair job estimating where to locate my front wheel in the furrow and do a good job keeping it there for at least for a few acres. If you plan to row crop very much, I think it is much more important to set the center to center of the front tires the same as center to center of the rear tires. It is difficual to do a good job planting or cultivating if you can't locate your front tires centered between rows just like you did with with the narrow front (just 2 different rows but same idea). To do that, set your front tire's center to center at 76 inches just like the rears. In case I have made it sound complicated, there is really a super solution to all tractor configuration problems that I like to use whenever possible. The idea is to convince yourself or significant other, where applicaple, that you absoulutely must have additional tractor(s) with wheels set at a different widths. Good luck justifying another tractor.
