In Reply to: H rear wheel spacing posted by BruceS. on June 22, 2012 at 03:56:58:
I pulled a 2-14" & a 2-16" with the family "H" in the 50s and plowed a lot of acres of Iowa black soil, and now again I use the same H to pull a #8 2-16" in our plow days here in Wisconsin.
Set the wheels so that about 1/2" - 1" of space is between the wheel and axle hub and that will do just fine. You might need to adjust the plow hitch a bit to also help in lining things up correctly.
I now live in rolling hills and dished in wheels are almost a guarantee you will have a roll over....sorry DeltaRed. And a Farmall with dished in wheels is butt ugly (there oughta be a law!).
There are no rules about using the swinging drawbar while plowing; it works just fine either way. Guys like me (75) need a little extra room while climbing off the tractor and the swinging drawbar in the center gives me that. It gives me more secure footing if I step on the U drawbar rather on the narrow swinging drawbar. Slipping off the drawbar is not good when you get to be an old fossil.
Plowing is a lot of fun. Make sure you take time to sit and grin while plowing...life is good at that time in your life...at any age.
