I have a cub and plow but I cannot get it to cut the ground and dig in it just slides across the top of the ground.

I have it bolted to the rear swaybar that I reversed under the tractor but the nose of the plow is still off the ground about 1/2 inch and it is also mounted off to the left side to see over my left shoulder.

You need something like this. This will work but is meant for the Cub two way plow. It raises and lowers the drawbar when it is in the reversed position. It is called a draft control. For proper plowing, the lever needs to lower the drawbar so that it nearly scrapes the ground when the right wheel is in the furrow. That should give you nearly eight inches of plow depth. If you lose traction, you can raise the draft control.

Sounds like you have a mess same old thing get an owners manual so you get it mountedwith all the rite stuff as you dont look over your left shoulder as the plow is on the right side and throws the soild to the right unless you have half or the two way plow for the CUB. Get the owners manual for that plow. You didnt say if you have hy on the tractor or manual lift as they are different.

This is how the draft control bolts to the tractor and drawbar.

I had thre same problem with mine when I first put the plow on. With the draft lever fully forward it would only suck in about 3 inches. On closer inspection, I discovered the plow shear was worn so much that it was riding on the heal of the share. I used a disc grinder and ground off some of the heal so the cutting edge of the share would cut and now it does a great job. It's no problem getting it down 7 or 8 inches.

I set mine up BY THE BOOK to plow my garden last spring and had the very same problem. It is likely a dull share. I doubt parts are available anymore. I Cut a piece of old heavy leaf spring at a point, and welded it on to the nose of the share. I did hang some old barbell weights off it too, but don'' know how much they help. It cuts deeper than the tractor will pull it now. Sorry I don't have any pictures of my new point, but if you can find a pic of a "deep suck" bottom, you'll have an idea of what I did. The draft linkage really isn't that important. A piece of chain the right length works, you will need it more to pull the plow OUT of the ground, if it is cutting right.
Good luck,
Ben

What do you mean the draft linkage isn't important?
It's EXTREMELY important!
If you just bolt the drawbar fixed in place, the plow won't be at the correct angle to dig in no matter how sharp the point is.
The reversed drawbar needs to be just about hitting the ground when the tractor is in the furrow.

Like I said, a piece of chain the right length works just fine. Never said I bolted the reversed drawbar fixed in place. It most likely should be just about as close to the gound as possible, without hanging up. When the plow goes in to deep, lift it up a little. The plow PULLS the reversed drawbar down, that solid lever doesn't PUSH it down.
