Pinned in transport position with the land wheel depth adjustment lever horizontal (max lift), I have a good 7" of clearance under the bottoms. The plow sits slightly higher on the right (land wheel) side, maybe an inch. A hydraulic cylinder would probably push the plow up another couple of inches.
The linkage from the cylinder to the furrow wheel isn't bent or broken, and the plow's sitting pretty close to level. I've got to think that this is it on the furrow side.

Should the land side lift higher? There is some damage to the arms on the land axle, and some REALLY BAD welding there.
The lift linkage seems like a pretty weak point on these plows. I was able to easily bend and twist the arms on the land axle back into shape. Definitely going to need some reinforcement.

47 inches from the end of the bar to the center of the bend.

How many bottoms does your IH 60 have? I need the length of the rear lift link from one with 3 bottoms.

Shoot, it looks like the plow's sitting about level with the depth lever about in the middle... Looks like I've got some cutting and welding to do.

This picture was taken from the right side of the plow.

Is that how you see it ?

Thanks Sammy, but how not level? High on the left? High on the right?

I'm thinking that because the left wheel goes down into a 8" (or so) deep furrow, that the plow should sit low on the right side on level ground.

Using the depth lever, I can adjust the plow anywhere from slightly high on the right to way low on the right.

This will affect my decision to simply reinforce the lift arms on the furrow wheel, or cut them completely off and start from scratch.
