Need some pointers

Plow Days are approaching. The location this year, as was last year's, is quite a long trip from our headquarters, but I vowed not to be a spectator/groupie again. So...I'm in the process of getting the 3-16 Fast Hitch Plow Chief (?)fixed up and dialed in with the 460.

The plows haven't really been used in YEARS. I used them for a short while three year ago, but that was a very short duration. The 460 peed its hydraulic pump for the last time at that point and I quit the festivities.

Anyway, no less than a couple dozen bolts at various points on the plow have been torched and new ones in place. Coulters that literally did no work from poor adjustment are now slicing. Things are looking much better.

I still need to get the plows flattened out toward the furrow--the inside plow bottom is not cutting deep enough. Besides the screw adjustment on the Fast Hitch right lift link, the plow's lift arms are adjustable it appears by changing bolt hole positions on a plate link that extends down from the plow frame to the plow lift/attachment arms. These bolts are now all new so adjustment is easy.

Which arm do I raise (or lower)? Got brain-lock on this one.
