270. Walking Plow Adjustment. 



1) Depth of Furrow Raise or lower clevis hitch vertically. 

 For variable soil conditions, regulate by changing wheel 

 gauge. 



2) Width of Furrow Change the clevis hitch in a horizon- 

 tal position. Position of beam may be adjusted on some 

 plows. It is usually changed to accommodate a different 

 number of horses. 



3) Handles Change height to suit operator. 



4) Jointer Set so its point is just above the point of the 

 share, slightly to the landside of the shin and 1-1/2" to 2" 

 deep into the soil. 



5) Hitch Plow runs best when hitched to form a straight 

 line from a point on moldboard 2" from shin thru the 

 hitch at beam clevis to a point midway between the tug 

 rings at harness. A proper hitch means easy operation 

 and less draft for the team. 



271. Sulky and Gang Plows. (Fig. 316.) 



1) Wheel Bearings If worn, put in new bearings when 

 possible. Clean thoroly, repack with heavy grease and 

 make adjustments. 



2) Frame Beam and Frog Tighten all bolts. Straighten 

 any part of frame that is twisted. 



3) Levers Tighten all connections, take up lost motion, 

 straighten levers, replace new springs. 



4) Share Sharpen or replace with new share. 



5) Landside Renew entire landside if badly worn. Renew 

 heel when provided. 



6) Rolling Coulter Clean bearings and oil. Tighten stand- 

 ard rigidly to frame.
