Default First try at plowing........Is my setup wrong or worn out?

I had a few spare minutes tonight so I popped the sleeve hitch on the 122 and installed a plow I picked up at the flea market last year.. Well, it was not a success... I couldn't plow straight to save my life, and it only would go into the sod and clay Texas soil about 2-4 inches most of the time... Also I could not have my right wheels in the furrow and plow another furrow without skipping about 4-6 inches, so I had to run over freshly plowed dirt with my right wheels....


Here's a couple of pics of the setup.. do you guys see anything wrong with it??? I am used to plowing with an 8 N Ford and a dearborn plow, this brinley thing is different.




I was using first gear, I tried second but as it started to dig the clutch would slip...which this tractor has always had as a problem... Probably need o rebuild my clutch soon.

I know I don't have a coulter wheel... but that can't be it can it??

Use the middle hole on the yoke. You have nowhere near enough "point" on the plow. Put the left side of the tractor on 5-6" of wood blocks, set the plow on the ground, and adjust it such that the bottom is flat on the ground.

So you are saying I need a new point then...any idea if anyone has them for this particular plow? or do I need to get out the arc welder and some hardfacing rod...(A LOT of HF rod..)

No, it's an adjustment, the procedure was in my last post. "Point" refers to the angle between the plow bottom and the ground, more or less.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
