Most of what has been said I agree with. The first (important) item is to understand that the first furrow with the correct adjustment will not be perfect. The tractor will be on untilled land with all tires. This raises the right side of the plow 7 or 8 inches higher than it will be when the right rear tire is in the furrow. You should be as far to the right in the patch as possible. Right wheel rubbing the fence. As it is the plow looks pretty level, but it will be wrong in the furrow. So change the plow hitch bar so the right side pin is in the down position, and the left side pin is in the up position. It will pull totally wrong if left crooked like that.
After making that pass at 7 or 8" deep, drive the tractor into the furrow with the left rear in the furrow and hugging the left bank of the furrow with the tractor straight ahead. Look at the position of the plow it will be almost flat on the ground, and should be. !!!!! Do not plow yet. With the tractor stopped, and the plow just touching the ground, you will be able to see that when the plow beams are straight with the furrow, that the right wheel is too far right. Adjust it in until the plow will just turn over the next two furrows. (probably all the way in on the axle (almost touching the bearing retainer). If the rim on the tractor has been mounted to the outside of the casting of the wheel it could be necessary to remount the wheel to the inside of the wheel center. Once this is done, the plow will probably find its own unfriendly ways of directing the tractor. I did not notice a screw tilt link on the threepoint right lift link. this is used to level reality when using the hitch. The plow will not pull to the left because it has landslides on the left of each moldboard/share. the land slide will prevent the side motion you are worried about. The depth should be controlled with a tail wheel and depth gage wheel (missing). I wish you luck and perseverance in this heroic effort. If it works it will be heroic. JimN

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Corn in Southern Wisconsin: The Early Years - by Pat Browning. In this area of Wisconsin, most crops are raised to support livestock production or dairy herds in various forms. Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
