Hi Rocky , The #8 doesn't have what is called a " gauge wheel " . The land wheel and tail wheel serves that function and the furrow wheel levels the whole thing side to side . The tail wheel also levels it front to back and the hitch determines how straight it pulls relative to the tractor and how well it enters and lifts out of the ground . But just like all things these aren't hard and fast rules . There's a lot of adjustments on one of these old plows to get a perfect furrow but you only need a perfect furrow if you are in a competition . There are some things to be aware of though before you drop it in the ground for the first time or you'll pull your hair out from frustration if some things aren't working right and there's nobody around to council you on what it is . BTDT !! That plow has been around for a long , long time so chances are it's set right or close to right if you bought it off a farmer that has used it . It's the wear parts that'll cause you some grief , you have Plow Chief points on it . They are expensive if you can find them at all ...Randy

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
