I just wanted to add my two cents to this discussion and suggest that you get the plow ready for adjustment and then just head out to the back forty and start plowing. You will want to make sure your adjustment lever on the tractor is free to operate and I would adjust it so that the plow is somewhat tilted before you even start to plow. You can then adjust it to the proper depth and angle as you start to plow. I have plowed a lot of acres on my Fathers farm years ago, so I can assur you that it isn't rocket science to set it and get the job done..Have fun...that'e the important part.

loose that adjust the beam. It seems they have never been adjusted (or 
at least not in a LONG time and are rusted up pretty tight. I'm not 
looking for perfection - just a plow that will track more or less in the 
proper line - perfection can come after that so this will give me a 
great starting point. Thanks again.
