Super A 193 plow question

I picked up a 193 (single bottom) plow for the SA, and just ordered the manual from Binder Books (dot com), but we've had an unusually good stretch of weather, and I managed to talk the boss into giving me the day off today to turn ground, but I'm not sure exactly how to rig the front hook up for the plow.

Specifically, what holes of the reversed draw bar do the beam front and draft lift connect to? Is it possible to just bolt the drawbar to a specific hole for draft? Or is the front lift necessary?

I'd like to spend my time in putting sod roots side up, rather than in trial and error. Any help would be much appreciated.

TIA,
Well Worn

Sorry bout the size but I wanted to make sure you could see everything. Plow can go on top or bottom... Had it on the bottom for some reason in that photo.

I mount the plow so that it cuts a full furrow and I mount the draft link so that it lines up with the touch control arm. In the photo the holes coincide. Pay attention to how the front of the plow is setup and the condition of your land side. You can use this manual as a "guide" to setting up your plow... It's pretty much the same...

Don't mean to hijack this thread but I have a identical plow and was wondering value. I bought it thinking I could mount it on my F-14. Decided to try and find the correct plow and sell this one. Thanks

$25 - $50 if it is usable and does NOT have the draft link...

Thanks very much, Rootsy. This is one of the reasons I really appreciate this site.

Sorry to not have gotten back here sooner. Been turning dirt while the weather held. My impatience got the better of me yesterday morning and I took a best guess approach, figuring that for the half acre to be turned, it wouldn't make much difference.

I was told by the fellow who sold me the plow, that the front flange bolts to the bottom of the drawbar with 3/4 carriage bolts (square holes in the flange). He didn't have the bolts, and I used plain ones to get it going. I see yours has a pin from the front lift rod, but mine has a hinged plate the bolt goes through. If I get a spare hour of uninterrupted phone line, I may post a picture.

From the picture (a 20 minute download over dialup), it seems I got it mounted off by one hole to the light side. I can see how it might turn better if moved over, but it is doing ok as is. I don't dare try to download the manual; it would be quicker to get the paper one in the mail.

It's been excrutiatingly slow going, mostly to pick out the biggest of the rocks after each pass. We pulled one out that is all of 400#, and another well over 300. Most of the rest are under 5#, and with about half of it turned, we have a pile (excepting the Big Ones) that would fill a short bed pickup box to about level to the top. Also found two light horseshoes (80' apart), a pair of pliers, a crushed up plastic bowl, bits of pottery and glass, short pieces of rusted barb wire, a 12' length of poly electric fence wire, and pieces of green fiberglass roofing.

Travis, I paid $50 for this one - looks to have seen very little use, and came with everything but the front mount bolts.

WellWorn,

There are no "right" holes for the plow. Yours doesn't have to be mounted the same as rootsy's to be "correct."

You mount it to whatever holes make it take a full-width cut. That depends on how you have your wheels set.

If you have the tread width set very narrow, you install the plow closer to the center of the drawbar.

If you have the wheels set wider, you install the plow closer to the right side.

Thanks for the correction, mkirsch. I figured that out after a couple passes, watching how much cut it was taking with the rear in the furrow, but it's good to post for the next guy needing some info.

The wheel width is set "tight" (loads on my little trailer better that way), and it has had the 3pt conversion. I used the outboard hole (inner holes are used for lift links) on the right lift arm for the chain hook, and it bolted the front flange on the drawbar as it 'naturally' hung.

Judging from how it was working, I should move it over at least a couple holes, and will do so next time I need to put it on.

Again, the wealth of info here is nothing short of astounding.
Thanks again
