I too disaggree ive plowed many a acre of new ground with a 23 hp 2n.first if its a three point plow.set your tractor on the level and lower plow,set the plow to where both points touch the ground evenly.now adjust toplink to where rear of landslide is up 3/4-1" higher than points.plow your first furrow(s) then run left rear wheel in furrow(if plow throws to right).again set plow as above.to see if soil is too wet or dry to plow dig down about a ft with shovel,pick up a handful of soil and squeeze it,if it sticks together and doesnt break apart easily its too wet,if it wont stick together at all its too dry,if it sticks together but breaks apart easily start plowing and dont quit till your done!dont know what size plow your pulling but all plows are made to plow 1/2 the width,in other words,if you have a 14" plow(width) it should plow 7" deep.set your coulters! again i dont know what plow your using but a general rule of thumb would be bttm of coulter 1 1/2" above point of plow,and offset to right of shin about 1".worn shares will cause high draft and slow down speed,making furrows not turn well.as will rusty moldboards not scouring well.if your plow moldboards are rusty clean them as best you can with wire brush,and then just plow with it until it shines up.a real clean one will be like a mirror,and nothing will stick to it.when you get it (or them) clean, coat them with a heavy grease when your finished plowing to protect them.hope this helps!

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
