I just got home with a tandem disk and 2 bottom 14" plow for my 140 with fast hitch. Anyone know which holes to put pins in on fast hitch to set up for plow and disk?

blue2: More important for the plow, is tread setting of the rear tires. With a 2x14 plow the rear tires should be set 52" or 56" center to center. I use 52" on my 2x12 plow, I find 56" just a bit too wide for the 2x12 plow, however you may get away with it on the 2x14 plow. The big item with little tractors pulling this much plow is have your center line of draft just right. If you don't, you will find yourself fighting side draft as you plow.

On hitch settings, is your plow equiped with optional side hill lever? This can make the adjustment process much easier. The diagnol brace on hitch must be allowed to float sideways for both plow and disk. The linkage going from front of wishbone up to rockshaft on right side of fuel tank is for depth control. It is adjusted by that control lever. On the other lever, being the lift control, slide the collar on pull rod going to the hitch foreward thus allowing the hitch to float. The control that set depth on plow also controls leveling of disk, making front and rear gangs cut eveningly. The leveling crank (side to side) at rear of hitch must be on the left side.

As for the exact holes pins should be in start as you would using hitch as a drawbar. From there make minor adjustments as you go. I'm not satisfied I've covered this 100% so if you have specific questions, come back or e mail me. I'd have to check but may have some photos scanned that could help.

Never underestimate that tire setting, when you get a 2x14 plow pulling sideways on a 140, you feel it believe me. Put a 2x14 plow on a Farmall M and you would never feel the side draft, even if you hooked the plow to the outer end of the rear axle.
