the question about tractor tire size was mostly curiosity on my part but it can have a efect on how to set the hitch on the plow. The ones I have seen with the 34" rear had a 5:00x15 on front, the 38" rear had a 5:50-6:00x16" on front. But taller tire would mean a higher hitch usually. And to get it to pull corectly once you get it in ground to depth you want and take a shovel and uncover the front of share on front bottom. Then take a straight edge and hold up in line with the front tip of the share of the front bottom to the hitch pin hole of the drawbar of the tractor. Now look at the piviot bolts that hold the hitch on to those plates on side of front end of beams. That piviot bolt should line up with that straight edge from share to hitch. If that piviot bolt is too low it will want to lift front of plow out of ground, to high it will want to tip plow on its nose like shortining the top link on your Fords does. At times it will help a plow with bad shares go into hard ground but makes plow pull harded than if it sat level like it should. The left lever on the plow sets the depth and the right lever sets the tilt same as the adjustment crank on your Fords hitch. The tractor I had for my Moline plow was a 44 model U row crop that had oversizex 13" now would be 14.9 tires from the orignal 12-13.6 tire and the drawbar was not adjustable that we could find and it sat so high up we could not hook the hay baler to that tractor. I think your plow is one that the tail wheel carries the back end when out of ground as I could see nothing that would carry the front if it was designed for that. So I will not go into that adjustment now as it would not be acaplicated to what I am thinking your plow is. A picture of the back end would tell me for sure. And they say you cannot pull a plow like your Moline with rour Ford 640 or 8N but I have done that. Mine was a Ferguson TO30. Think I started plowing about 57 and am now 75. Have not plowed or farmed since about 2000 but have not forgotten how to do it. Used all pull type with both clutch lift and cylinder lift, semi-mounted and 3 point hitch in both 2 & 3 bottom sizes. I think you had a broken nose on one of the shares. I could tell you how to rebuild that.
