The Tractor

Preparing Tractor and 3-Point Hitch

The surface of the plow bottom must be cleaned
so that dirt will slide off the moldboard without
sticking. Wipe the polished surface with a rag
soaked in turpentine, naptha or gasoline. An old
brick or pumice stone can also be used to remove

the protective coating, but usually this is not

necessary if soil is not too wet or sticky.

Attaching the Plow to the Tractor
(See Figure 40.)

1. Place two 4" blocks under both the left front

and left rear wheels of the tractor.

2. Attach the right and left pull rods to the clevis

pins on the plow.

3. The upper hitch bracket on the rear of the trac

tor has two mounting positions. Place the up
per hitch bracket in the two upper holes.

Adjust the length of the clevis screw

assembly to 12 V

" long.

NOTE

Refer to inset drawing for correct
way to measure the length of the

clevis screw assembly.

5. Attach the flat end of the clevis screw

assembly to the top hole in the upper hitch
bracket using a clevis pin and cotter hairpin.
