Safety Suggestions
GENERAL The safety of the operator was one of the
prime considerations in the minds of John Deere
engineers when this plow was designed. You can
make your farm a safer place to live and work if
you observe the safety suggestions given. Study
these suggestions carefully and insist that they
be followed by those working with you and for
you. Remember! An accident is usually caused by
someone s carelessness, neglect, or
oversight. TRANSPORTING Use care when
transporting across rough ground. While
transporting the plow on a public road, lollow
safety instructions outlined under
Transporting. Pages 8 and 9. HYDRAULIC
OIL Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can
have sufficient force to penetrate the skin,
causing serious personal injury. Before
disconnecting lines, be sure to relieve aJl
pressure. Before applying pressure 1o the system,
be sure ali connections are tight and that lines,
pipes and hoses are not damaged. Hydraulic oil
escaping from a very small hole can be almost
invisi- ble. Use a piece of cardboard or wood,
rather than hands, to search for suspected
leaks. If injured by escaping hydraulic oil, see
a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction
can develop if proper medical treatment is not
administered immedi- ately
OPERATION To avoid injur y, always be care fun
while operating a tractor and plow. Never permit
any person olher than tne operator on the
tractor. Never ride or permit others to ride on
the plow. Stay clear of spring-reset standard
while plowing. If standard hangs up in a
partially-tripped position, stay clear of reset
path. Use a long pole or other tool to remove
obstruction. Lubrication of standard linkage and
keeping springs tight helps prevent standards
from hanging uo during tripping. Do not grease,
oil. or adjust the plow while i1 is in
motion. Maintain proper adtustment of cou/ter to
avoid inter- ference witn plow bottom during
reset. Allow the rear wheei to clear the furrow
before making Sharp turns at end of field. Always
lower the prow to the ground when not in use
unless plow is secured in storage position. See
page 19. \/Vilh the tractor engine shut-off move
the selective control lever back and forth to
relieve pressure in cylinder and hoses. If spray
Can paint is used for protecting plow bottoms to
be put in storage, be careful when discarding
empty can. Do not incinerate or puncture can.

Preparing for Use

• IMPORTANCE OF PROPER ADJUSTMENT
• A well-adjusted plow puJls lighter its furrow
  slices are uniform in width and depth it covers
  trash it leaves the soil in proper condition to
  be worked down into the best-type seedbed.
• Imprope adjustment results in rapid wear and pos-
  sibJe breakage of parts, and inefficienl
  operation.
• PREPARING THE PLOW
• Plow Bottoms
• The polished surfaces of the plow bottoms have
  been painted with protective black paint.
• In most cases it is not necessary to remove the
  black paint because it will wear off quickly upon
  contact with
• the soil. in those soils where the black paint
  will not wear off, remove with diesel fuel.
• If the plow is not to be used immediately protect
  polished surfaces by applying a coat of John
  Deere Plow Bottom Black Paint. If the plow is to
  be put in
• storage for a considerable length of time, see
  oage 27.
• Bolts And Set Screws
• Before starting to wprk with a new plow or one
  which Inas been stored, be sure all bolts and set
  screws are tight and aI! cotter pins spread to
  keep them from falling out. Be sure the bolts
  that hold the plow bottoms are drawn up tight.
• Check for loose bolts, screws, or parts when
  lubri- cating the plow. Loose bolts are easily
  lost or cause excessive wear on parts, resulting
  in possible damage to the plow. See bolt torque
  chart, page 27.
• Lubrication
• Be sure plow has been prooerly lubricated. See
  Lubrication Charts on pages 25 and 26
• Tire Inflation
• lnfJate tires on plow to air pressures shown in
  the following chart.

to insure maximum performance.
Rear Wheel Weighting Rear wheel weights may De
necessary to eliminate excessive wheel slippage
or for stability in rough or hillside fields.
However, weights should not be added to the point
where all slippage is eliminated. To do so would
hinder maximum performance of the tractor.
When operating the tractor with all wheels on the
land. set the rear wheels (depending on size o
plow) to leave at least four nches (100 mm)
between the fur- row wall and the outside edge of
the right tractor tire
See your tractor operator's manual.
Tractor Drawbar When using a two-wheel drive
tractor, set the draw- bar in the high position.
Pin the drawbar as Instructed in Horizontal
Hitching on page 10.
NOTE When tractor is eguipped wiih dual rear
wheels, set wheels in narrowest available
setting. See your tractor operators manual.
Front Wheel Setting On wide-front-end tractors,
to gel proper field ma- neuverability when
working with tractor wheel in the furrow, set the
front wheels to conform to rear-wheel setting,
center-to-center of tread, or set al least 2
inches (50 mm) wider than rear lires, measured
from center of tractor to inside eoge of tire.
4-5
When using either a crawler or four-wheel drive
tractor. set the drawbar as instructed in
"Horizontal Hitching" on pages 10-12.
NOTE. After the drawbar attitude is determined,
leave one hole open on each side ot the drawbar
io allow for some steering flexibility.

Attaching and Detaching
ATTACHING PLOW TO TRACTOR Attaching Hydraulic
Hoses
Hitching To Tractor
Before attaching the hitch drawbar to the tractor
drawbar, be sure the hitch drawbar plates are
posi- tioned correctly for the type of tractor
drawbar used. See following illustrations
Before attaching hoses, move remote cylinder op-
erating lever back and forth several times with
tractor engine stopped to relieve pressure in the
tractor hy- drauIiC system.
IMPORTANT Wipe hose ends to remove any dirt
before inserting in the breakaway couplers.
6-7
Install hoses in breakaway couplets so that
cylin- der will extend or retract as indicated by
symbols on tractor console. MOve the operating
lever back and forth a few times to pressurize
the cylinder.
NOTE. If the Cases have been disconnected from
the hydraulic cylinder or if the cylinder has not
Deen used before, all trapped air must be removed
(rom the cylinder. To remove trapped air, remove
cylinder attaching pins and lay the cylinder
across the plow frame w th the oil outlets up to
allow the trapped air to escape. Start the engine
and operate the remote cylinder op- erating lever
back and forth seven or eight times, al- lowing
the full stroke each time. Attach the hydraulic
cylinder to the plow.

Checking Hydraulic System After attaching plow
to tractor for the first time, check all
hydraulic connections and hoses for leaks
DETACHING PLOW FROM TRACTOR CAUTION When plow is
not in use, either lower plow to ground so that
it rests on its bottoms or lock in storage
position with the furrow axle lift arm secured
to the transport lock strap with the lock-pin.
See illustration on page 19 under Storage."
CAUTION Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure
can have sufficient torce to pen- etrate the
skin, causing serious personal injury. Betore
disconnecting hoses, be sure to relieve
all pressure. Before applying pressure to the
sys- tem, be sure all connections are tight and
that hoses are not damaged.
When detaching plow from the tractor, relie ve
hy- draulic pressure by moving the remote
cyl nder operating lever back and forth with the
tractor engine shut off.
Hydraulic oil escaping from a very small hole can
be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood, rather than hands, to search tor sus-
pected leaks.
Disconnect all hoses from the breakaway couplers
on the tractor.

IMPORTANT- Transport 1ock strap must be se- cured
before transporting plow. After securing lock
strap with lock pin and spring locking pin, the
remote cylinder can be removed if desired. To
remove, retract cylinder 1 to 2 inches (25 mm to
50 mm) and remove from plow.
To level the plow for transport, tighten the lock
nut (indicated by bold arrow) on the rear lifl
rod to raise the rear of the plow. Loosen the nut
to lower the rear of the plow. CAUTION These
plows have been de- signed to be transported at
a maximum speed of 20 mph (32 km/h). DO NOT
EXCEED. Never travel at any speed which does not
permit adequate control of steering and
stopping. CAUTION When transporting the plow on
a road or highway at night or during the day, use
accessory lights and devices for adequate warning
to the operators of other vehicles. In this
regard, check local governmental regulations
for proper use. Various safety lights and devices
are available from your John Deere dealer. NOTE.
Use of a safety chain is recommended when towing
this implement on pu6lic roads. Tensile strength
ol the safely ctain should be at leasi equal to
the gross weight of the towed load. Saleiy chains
are available from your John Deere dealer,

The dr awbar attitude (hor izontal and vertical
loca- tion) of the hitch is most important to
insure proper plowing performance along with fore
-and- all and lat- eral Ie veling. The ideal
hitch is a straight line from the cenler point of
pull on the tractor to Ihe center point of
resistance on the plow, both hor izontally and
ver lically. When this has been determ ned, the
hitch pin MUST be located on this line or as near
as possible to it
Therefore, the center point of resistance of a
5-bot- tom 18-inch plow is 49-1/2 inches (1 260
mm) mea- sured to the left and at right angles
from the furrow wall. See A" in illustration
above.
Hitch point (C) is located on the ideal line of
dralt connecting points (A) and (B). To find the
hitch point distance from the furrow wall, divide
the difference between dimensions, (A) and (B) by
3, then add this quantity to dimension (B). C -(A

Horizontal (In-Furrow) The center point o( pull
on the tractor is located ahead of the rear axle
housing and centered between the rear wheels as
shown by (B) in illustration above. Measurement
for point (B) is from center of tractor to the
inside of the Iract or tire. The center point of
resistance of the plow can be located by using
the following rule RULE The center point of
resistance of a mold- board plow is located at a
point one-fourth of the cutting width of one
bottom measured to the left of the center of the
total cut of the plow. This rule applies to all
plows whether 4, 5, or 6 bottom. Example. To find

Vertical Hitch Adjustments
P I T C H P L A15 A h 0 T U 8 fi
Adjust the hitch plate assembly (A) on the plow
so the plow hitch will fall on a straight line
from the tractor drawbar to the center point of
resistance on the plow. Holes (indicated by bold
arrow in the illustration at right) are provided
on the hitch tubes for this adjust- ment.
If the hitch plate assembly is adjusted too high
for the depth ol plowing, the tractor will pull
down on the front end of the plow. The bottoms
will bounce along on the points of the shares,
resulting in heavy draft, un- even penetration,
excessive wear on shares and wheel bearings (in
land and furrow wheels), and a poor job of
plowing. If the rear wheel attempts to run up the
furrow was I, it is a good indication the hitch
plate assembly is set too high and you are
pulling down on the front end of the plow.
10-19
If the hitch plates and tube assembly (A) is
adjusted too low for the depth of plowing, the
tractor will pull up on the front end of the
plow. The bottoms will penetrate very slowly,
resulting in excessive weight on the rear wheel
of the olow.

Decreasing this dimension lowers the front bottom
in r elation to the front furrow wheel, allowing
the tront bottom to plow deeper. Increasing this
dimension raises the front bottom in relation to
the front furrow wheel, allowing the front
bottom to plow shallower. To change from the
land opening screw (B) lo the adjusting screw
(A), remove lhe spring locking pin and drilled
pin (C) from the slide straps and depth adjuster.
Pivot the depth adiuster to the adjusting screw
position and secure with the drilled pin and

NOTE. Only use a hydraulic cylinder with an ad
justable stop (hydraulic or mechanical). For a
starting position, to achieve approximately 6
inches (150 mm) of plowing depth, set the
