HELP trying to mount a C-12-D Harrow-plow to a SC

I am trying to mount a C-12-D to my SC. I had it mounted this past weekend and it seemed to work well, except for the following problem. I have the lift link adjusted as short as it will go and still cannot get enough ground clearance. With the touch control at it"s max, the disks barely clear the ground by less than an inch or so. They drag the ground occasionally. After opening up a land and running the left wheel in the furrow the mount assembly also drags the ground.
Obviously I am doing something wrong but I can"t for the life of me figure it out..

The Manual para #3 reads "attach the lift link to the hitch arm and to the inside hydraulic touch control arm."
I have 2 SC"s and 2 C"s and none of them have more than one touch control arm on the right side of the tractor.

Am I missing a touch control arm? Did early C"s have two on the right? I have not seen one.
any suggestions or ideas much appreciated.

Two on the right was an option and it sounds like you have a plow where it is needed. There must have been a reason to have two on the right.
 
My 48 C has the double arms on both side of the touch control. Only one I've ever seen or heard of. Must have been an option specifically for for some implements. I bought it on a whim because it has all "Q"/1947 date codes and the extra touch control arm.

Do I need to join Farmall's anonymous?
 
I noticed that the instructions say to set the rear lever in the bottom notch of the quadrant to lift the rear of the plow.

Did you do that?

My only suggestion for the mount dragging is, did you use the correct mounting holes on the tractor? Could it be mounted in a higher position?
 
Dad had an early C which had 2 arms oneach side. Rear cultivator had two lift rods instead of just one as the later ones had.
