plow adjustments

[Rusty, mn]

Need help adjusting my plow. it is a 63 series 16 inch. pulling with a wd45. I tried plowing and the plow does not pull straight. it will pull towards the left (standing behind it)when i start plowing. i adjusted it to a starting point according to the manual, but i think the round shaft has been replaced at one time because it has a torched end, and i"m not sure if my set screw holes are right. i could use some measurements from the tongue to the left and right frame rails and also from the tongue to the lift arms, or any other measurements you might think i need.

thanks,

Rusty

Hard to nail down exactly what's up without watching the plow run...but...
1. If it's a snap coupler plow, make sure it's plowing same depth at the front and rear so that the tail fin (or tail wheel on some) is staying down in the furrow. If the front to rear angle of the plow is such that it's shallow at the rear, all the force of the 3 bottoms will shove the plow to the left.
2. If it has a tail fin, it should be almost 2ft long and about 6" tall, and have 2 braces on it to keep it parallel with the direction of travel. Without it, the plow will go where ever it wants.
