Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see Bob, about 50% of running a plow, whether horse or tractor drawn, is the line of draft: how and where it's hooked to whatever is pulling, 20% is the 'polish' - heavy rust doesn't cut it, so once you get it polished (pull it through some creek gravel), throw some plow paint or grease on it before letting it set "till next season". Another 25% is the condition of the point(s). Anything more than a nub should work for you. If really bad, weld an appropriate shaped piece of leaf spring on.
Most horse plows have a series of vertical holes at the hitch point. That point to the tractor should be roughly horizontal as a starting point, with as short a chain as possible. If you are fighting to keep it in the ground, you're hooked too low on the plow. If it's digging for China and trying to throw you over the handles, you're hooked too high. Adjust pull point on plow and/or tractor as needed. Barring soil with lots of rocks, you'll be an expert in short order, then make notes for next year, just in case. :)
