AC 3pt plow question

Is the lever on this plow to adjust depth?  If so, wouldnt that be a hard bugger to move?

interesting!  Thanks!

So "winging" the plow is auto done by the nature of the bottom lift links being offest from each other?  Or is there an adjustment for that too?

Thanks Guys.

Yes, we have had to weld up the torsion bar hex ends also. There is a 'preload' bolt on the LH side to take the slack out of the lift arm torsion system. No one ever kept it in adjustment and thru the years the slamming back and forth allowed it to hammer out and wear the sockets and rod so as it pulls all the way back and hits the frame - thus no draft or traction booster control. The OEM configuration had the rod in a frame stationary socket on one side and the lift arm pivot assy on the other end. As a 3 pt hitch implement such as a plow engages the ground it pulls back and 'twists' the torsion bar and allows a slight rearward movement of the lift arms - there is a rod attached on the RH side that pulls on the draft linkage and will slightly raise the lift arms to transfer weight from the implement and its down draft force to the rear wheels.  When set properly with the position control to limit down travel (depth one wished to plow) there will be a smooth transfer of weight in a hard pull without raising the plow and then a return to the depth held by the position control as the draft decreases in lighter soil.   

In river bottom we used to pull 4-16 plow with a 175. Pulled the same with 185. Pulled the 4-16 easily but couldn't handle 5 16 . Pulled a neighbors 5-14 one time with the 185.

Tom, I would be interested in seeing more pictures of this plow. Curious what model it is.

Thanks Doc.
