Thanks very much, Rootsy. This is one of the reasons I really appreciate this site.
Sorry to not have gotten back here sooner. Been turning dirt while the weather held. My impatience got the better of me yesterday morning and I took a best guess approach, figuring that for the half acre to be turned, it wouldn't make much difference.
I was told by the fellow who sold me the plow, that the front flange bolts to the bottom of the drawbar with 3/4 carriage bolts (square holes in the flange). He didn't have the bolts, and I used plain ones to get it going. I see yours has a pin from the front lift rod, but mine has a hinged plate the bolt goes through. If I get a spare hour of uninterrupted phone line, I may post a picture.
From the picture (a 20 minute download over dialup), it seems I got it mounted off by one hole to the light side. I can see how it might turn better if moved over, but it is doing ok as is. I don't dare try to download the manual; it would be quicker to get the paper one in the mail. :P
It's been excrutiatingly slow going, mostly to pick out the biggest of the rocks after each pass. We pulled one out that is all of 400#, and another well over 300. Most of the rest are under 5#, and with about half of it turned, we have a pile (excepting the Big Ones) that would fill a short bed pickup box to about level to the top. Also found two light horseshoes (80' apart), a pair of pliers, a crushed up plastic bowl, bits of pottery and glass, short pieces of rusted barb wire, a 12' length of poly electric fence wire, and pieces of green fiberglass roofing.
Travis, I paid $50 for this one - looks to have seen very little use, and came with everything but the front mount bolts.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
