Got you some pics. Been a while since the ol' gal has been in the ground.
When setting one of these up (this happens to be an old Raydex), you need to level them.
Drop it, and run for a bit. Stand back, and look at how level the bottoms are. A rollover is easy to see.
Posted this pic down in the equipment forums, but it's a good example of how it should look.
See how the bottoms are level on the horizon, while the tractor is tilted down in the furrow.
My adjustments are probably different than yours, bein' as it's an Oliver plow, but you can see how there is a provision for leveling the plow. In this case....stop bolts.
Also, notice how the hitch assembly is tilted in comparison to the body of the plow. That's your offset to take care of the difference between plow running flat, and how the tractor has it's wheels down in the furrow.
Just as a side note...…..You can see just how level you're set up, by looking at your bottoms. They should be wearing relatively evenly along the edge.
Once you start wearing into the hooked/curved forward edge of the bottom, it's usually time to put some new shares on. It won't wanna suck down into the ground once these hooks wear down too far.
BTW, here's that crazy gage wheel. Drive ya nuts sometimes when it doesn't latch.
Anyways, hope it helps. I don't imagine there's many folks running these nowdays, not sure (shrug)
Got no excuse now, the drizzle stopped, and the sun's out. For now :lol:

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this
