 Topic: new to me plow
Posted: 7 hours 25 minutes ago at 1:01pm |
i got this with a couple WD's I bought at an auction here in NM. I studied the plow ID on the knowledge base, looks to me to be a WD-#53 pick-up plow,, best measurements I get it's a 14",, so I found an owners book on ebay,, looks like there is a lot of the adjustments are WAY off, first, the lift links are above the lift bar, next the pull bar and beaming adjustment are set too far to the RH side. I gots the adjustments soaking,, What ya'll think??

Someone may have had that plow hitched to a D17 which would need longer lift links to not have the hitch hitting the bottom of the transmission case when fully lifted.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

The lift links need to be flipped over a half a turn on the hinge area. The bottom needs to be inside the U part. Andy

I have never had any luck soaking stuck plow adjustment threads... straight to the torch for me! However, being in your climate maybe you will get lucky? Definitely a 53 and a good save.
