I have a farmall C with a 2-12 bottom plow that is mounted on a frame to the bell housing and it has a chain for lifting on the rear rockshaft. The front of the plow has another lifting arm that just rotates the front mount which seems to change the pitch of the plow.
The plow lifts up with a chain that is bolted to the beam and as it lifts up, it twists some and has no side to side stabilization. Is this how they were supposed to work, or did someone change something? When I drop the plow it keeps side drafting the tractor and tries to pull the front end into the furrow. I have to keep the front wheels cut 45 degrees of more just to keep it going straight.
I figure that this plow must have just been a bad design, or someone did something to it to make it bad. When I got the tractor, I noticed that the left brake was adjusted all the way tight, and the pedal still dropped almost to the bottom before stopping the tractor. S, I was thinking that the previous owner must have been having the same thing happen and was riding the brake the whole time he was plowing.
Has anyone had any experience with these plows? I did a little bit of looking online and couldn't find a model number for it. All I know is that it's frustrating!

The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
