Make sure these things are set correctly: The plow will have a specific cutting width per moldboard. This is measured from beam to beam at 90 degrees to the furrow. It will be 14" 16" or 18". This size is important when setting it up. When plowing the second pass, the right front and rear wheels will be in the furrow made by the first pass (assumes a wide front end). Put the plow in the ground and the wheels in the furrow. go forward about 20 feet in the furrow. Stop the tractor with the plow in the ground, and shut it down for a few minutes.
Use a tape measure to measure between the left vertical edge of the furrow (behind the rear tire in the furrow) to the colter on the first mold board (disk like splitting unit in front of the shiny moldboard.) This measurement must be very close to the same as the plow size determined above. If it is way off wide, or narrow, it will be necessary to adjust the tractor wheel width to get it to the plow cut. Adjust the wheels (front and rear) in or out the difference of the measurements.
Next measure the depth of each of the two points from the surface of the ground, to the cutting tip of the plow point. they should be within 1/2 inch of each other and about 6 to 7 inches deep. You will need to dig them out to find them with a tile spade or hand trowel. If they are at different depths, the right rear three point link must be adjusted to make them level with the tractor in the furrow.
If these terms are unclear, you are going to need a helper on site that has plowed before. The tree pits are a problem, but a rented box blade will fill them pronto. Then plowing is easy.
Best of luck, plow setting is not difficult if you already know how!!!

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned.
