I have a set of three fourteens and in the process of reducing it down to two bottoms and and I know that rod will have to be shortened, but don't know by how much. Trying to get ready for "Plow Day" next week. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. [Reply]   [No Email]

I've got two of them, but they're the 3-4 bottom type so I can't help with measurements. What I would do is get the plow all put back together, except for the rod. Lift the front with the cylinder then jack the rear up so it is setting level. Then measure how much rod you need. That's how I did my #8 when I reduced it to two bottoms. [Reply]  [No Email]

Thus if the share to share distance is measured (at the same angle as the rod is running along the spine) removing that much should be exactly correct. Jim [Reply]  [No Email]
