Hi to all those that answered my post about comparing plows . I went to the Floyd County museum this afternoon and got the operator's manual for my plow and looked at the part's book . As it turn's out my " 560 " may be only a series number . It's on the tag under model # as " 560 " but most of the tag is missing so as near as I can tell all it mean's is the series , not the model . From the pictures in the operator's manual's it appear's to be a 565 ( 4-16 ) . It can be reduced to a three bottom or increased to a 5 bottom with the right pieces , it can also be changed from a 16" to a 14" cut by swapping spacer's around . It doesn't matter to me , 4-16's is fine . If I'd gone and done this research before I bought it I'd have gotten the 5-16's at the last auction I went to for CONSIDERABLY less money and it had a clod buster on it to boot . Live and learn ! I just wish learning weren't so blamed expensive ! One question still remain's that the operator's manual doesn't cover other than to say simply to " hook it up " and that's the pivot strap's that attach to the front of the hitch bar , it say's to attach the upper link to the top of them but it doesn't say how to adjust the upper link or what the purpose of the straps are . Can anyone explain this ? Thanks !! Take care ....Randy

It is part of the safety system to prevent the tractor from rolling over backward because of not enough front end weights and/or possible operator error in severe conditions. Top link is attached to the top of the straps with the ball and pin. Length of the top link is then adjusted to have 2 to 3 inches clearance between the straps and the cross/steering arm on the pivot post during normal plowing, enough to allow clearance for normal flex in the field but still act as a stop for safety purposes. Hope this helps. 90%ret'd

Hi 90%ret'd , Thank You . I got the straps from the previous owner but he never used it and really didn't know what it was for either . He said he owned/used the plow for over 15 years . Since I got it I might as well use it . Especially since I don't have any supplemental weight on the front . Take care ...Randy
