Does this come apart? (Plow Question)

[Badger08]

Alright, got this plow home, and got the part I needed, show up against the shed. It's the casting that when you pull the clutch rope and there is a little 'finger' to stop the trip lever. On the plow it's broke off, so got another one which isn't.

I thought by undoing the bolt on the bottom and a little heat it would come off the axle, but maybe it's not supposed to, and even if so it's so froze on maybe easier to just switch axle's and be done with it. I don't want to be to aggressive with it since it's cast and bust it.

Next question is, my tires are set for 38 inch rows and hate to move them in. I didn't need to for my #44 plow, it being 2 16's I could slide the hitch setup enough on the plow it works fine. This #52 being 2 12's though, I made it so it works, but am I asking to much?

What's weird is on my 44 you can slide the bar your hitch bolts to any which way. On the 52 I thought you could to but there but it only fits one way, or else you flip it and it fits that way to, but no left to right like on my 44. Unless someone drilled a hole in that part of the bar to make it fit.

Everything comes apart- especially when one part is steel, and the other part is cast! LOL.

I tried taking off the same piece on my 44. Wouldn't budge. I would just change the whole axle.

If your wheels are set at 76" on center, and then 76-14=62 between wheels, which means the center of the tractor is at 31" from the furrow wall. The center of the draft of the plow should be around 15" from the furrow wall, so you have 16" to divide between the plow and tractor. You don't need to move the plow hitch as much as what's pictured, you need to slide the tractor drawbar over some also. That's not unreasonable, you can leave the wheels where they're at.

I guess I don't understand your statement about plow hitches. Your 44 hitch will look different because it's a hydraulic lift plow.
