Certainly, good componants of the plow are important. Next is the setup. You wrote an excellant instruction except, I think, adjusting the "left" lift link. As you said though, the plow must be adjusted on three dimensions: distance from inside of right tire; front to back with the top link; and side to side with the adjustable lift arm link. My view is/was simple, "keep the plow frame level". We used a Dearborn Economy 2x14 mounted on our '51 8N. Our plow front to rear was preset with the original pre-set link. We never changed it. The adjustable toplinks have helped getting the right adjustment. But if not checked it can hurt plowing efficiency. To open a land I cranked the right lift arm down about 12 or 14 turns. I picked out a mark at the other end of the field and headed out. When I reached the planned headland end, I turned around and with the right wheel about 4 to 5 inches form the the rolled ground I just turned I went back across the field. Once the back furrow was layed, I readjusted the right lift arm up the 12-14 turns and dropped into the first furrow. A minor adjustment to the right lift arm might be required. Hours and hours. A dead furrow was similarly completed by adjusting the right lift arm. When the left wheel dropped into an adjacent furrow I adjusted the right lift arm down again to keep the plow level side to side. I probably would not win any plowing contests but I was pround of neat furrows. Interestingly, how easy it is to TRY to describe what we did, but to do so clearly is not so easy. LOL

Today's Featured Article - Seeing an Old Friend - by Joe Evans. Dad had a concrete contracting business starting in 1960. One of his first pieces of equipment was a Ferguson TO-35 with a Davis loader. Dad replaced the TO-35 with a MF 202 Workbull, essentially an industrialized Ferguson 35 I am told. Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it.
