heres a 120 B disc tiller i picked up for $100. all in working order and it came with the back wheel weights. it seems to work but im not sure of the correct way to plow with them. i also have one for parts that has the scrapers (i already had it) what do ya think?

Correct way to plow is CCW as those type plows don't turn to the right very sharply. Frt wheel goes in furrow from previous round plowed. Frt disk needs to be set a little shallower than the rear so the rear furrow wheel will stay in furrow and not kick out. If one has sandy soil set rear of plow for "soft" and if clay set for "hard"

I spent many days in my youth plowing with an 8 disk JD disk tiller.
 

ok good. i need to go take the scrapers off the other one. its sad i cant restore it too. its been around the farm for atleast 40 years
 

I think to plow hard ground you're going to need to add the furrow wheel weights. Also the back furrow wheel will need to be set for "hard ground" which also cuts down on the width of cut of plow.
