I have a IH tumble bug 2 16 plow that I plowed with as a youngster and still use it to this day. They are very easy to set up and if set right will plow nice and level. It also has adjustments in the tongue to allow for for different tread width tractor. The way it operates is when the plow is out of the ground and you enter the furrow you pull the rope when you want the plow to go into the ground. You pull the rope again when you want the plow to come out of the ground, this releases the stop mechanism. The front of the plow frame drops to the ground causing the enternal plow frame that the mold boards bolt to roll. When the plow rolls it lifts the wheels off the ground past mechanical catches. The plow continues to roll to the mechanical latches that hold the plows in place. Now on the trip mechanism there is a couple of miniture mold boards that have to be in time with the plow bold boards because you can get this thing out of time. In other words when your plowing one direction one of the plow wheels is in the furrow and the other is up on the land. If you don't have your plow in time then the wrong wheel is high and the wrong one low. Its an easy process to time the plow. If you happen to get it out of time by pulling the rope to many times for one step all you do is trip the plow and go forwards until the wheels are off the ground then pull the trip mechanism until the minature mold board is pointed the same way as the plow mold board. If my explaination has you confused let me know and I will try again. They are easy to operate. I was pulling this plow with a Super M when I was 10 years old.
