Thanks very much, Rootsy. This is one of the reasons I really appreciate this site.
Sorry to not have gotten back here sooner. Been turning dirt while the weather held. My impatience got the better of me yesterday morning and I took a best guess approach, figuring that for the half acre to be turned, it wouldn't make much difference.
I was told by the fellow who sold me the plow, that the front flange bolts to the bottom of the drawbar with 3/4 carriage bolts (square holes in the flange). He didn't have the bolts, and I used plain ones to get it going. I see yours has a pin from the front lift rod, but mine has a hinged plate the bolt goes through. If I get a spare hour of uninterrupted phone line, I may post a picture.
From the picture (a 20 minute download over dialup), it seems I got it mounted off by one hole to the light side. I can see how it might turn better if moved over, but it is doing ok as is. I don't dare try to download the manual; it would be quicker to get the paper one in the mail. :P
It's been excrutiatingly slow going, mostly to pick out the biggest of the rocks after each pass. We pulled one out that is all of 400#, and another well over 300. Most of the rest are under 5#, and with about half of it turned, we have a pile (excepting the Big Ones) that would fill a short bed pickup box to about level to the top. Also found two light horseshoes (80' apart), a pair of pliers, a crushed up plastic bowl, bits of pottery and glass, short pieces of rusted barb wire, a 12' length of poly electric fence wire, and pieces of green fiberglass roofing.
Travis, I paid $50 for this one - looks to have seen very little use, and came with everything but the front mount bolts.
