Pardon my ignorance here, but I entered the tractor world long after some of you knowledgeable fellows. When I watch the antique tractor shows on RFDtv, I see pull-type ground implements that are not hydraulic. How do you raise and lower the wheels on these things?

Doyle,
I still have an old disk that I haven't used in years that doesn't have any wheels on it of any kind. When you want to move it without disking, you move a couple of arms that allow the disk sections to straighten out in line with the direction your going so they basically roll on top of the ground. To reset them to an angle, you back the tractor up and they'll move back into a slanted relationship to each other. You then put the control arms back into their sockets and the disk sections are locked into a slanted angle.

My old spike tooth harrow was similar. You just let the spikes all the way down and dragged it around until you wanted the spikes back up for dragging the field.

The wheels were raised by a jack, if you had one, or a long pole. Been there, done that.
As for the implement the others are correct.
Don't tie the trip rope to the seat. Been there also. :)

If you're talking about plows, most had a ground driven mechanical clutch with a trip rope to the tractor. The plow had to be moving forward to raise it out of the ground but could be dropped without movement. Those long levers were for making necessary adjustments to each individual plow bottom.

Years ago, with the mammoth plows behind steam tractors, it was typical to have a lever to raise and lower two bottoms at a time, and a man on the plow to handle each lever or two. The smaller pull-type plows of the last century had two levers on them- the left one set the plowing depth of all the bottoms, and the right one was used to level the frame. That allowed for the first furrows on setting out a land to be plowed uniformly deep with the rest of the field. After the land was set, the right lever was reset to level the frame with the right wheel in the furrow.
