One thing that no body mentioned. Do you have coulters and if so what kind? Flat blade or disk blade type as in Yetter? For the Yetter types is not perfectly set will do that and the orignal blades were 16" disk blades. If wore to 15" they work better. When I had to put new blades on I put on 18" blades and could not do anything because of that side pull, put new 16" on and problem went away. And That was on a 3 bottom plow like yours is. Anouther thing is they used 3 different bottoms on that frame, a 12", 14" & 16". I had 14" bottoms set on the 16" spacing. You can go smaller bottoms to larger spacing OK but I think if your bottoms are the 16" from the setting when you got it and moved setting down to 14" then your bottoms just might be too big for it to work OK, If that is what it is your only option is to go back to the 16" spacing or find 14" bottoms. The moldboard on the 16" would be longer so trying to run a narrower spacing it would be making too much side push with that moldboard. Wev only found out ours were 14" bottoms when we had a boldboard break and looking in a parts yard found the correct moldboard but it was on an older non adjustable pull type plow that was a 14" cut. I also had a different plow that was non adjustable 12" frame pull type and the moldboards were shaped different. The shares will fit onall 3 size bottoms so you cannot go to bottom size from share size. Take a 16" bottom and put on a 16" share and you would have what is called a full cut share, now put on the full vut share from a 14" bottom and you have what is called a narrow cut unit That is ment to be used in easy turning over soil as it is supposed to pull easier but also used in hard to roll over soil that has deep rooted plants so it does not cut all the roots off so a few hold the furrow slab fast to help with turning over as it will not just let the slab slide to the right. And make sure those moldboards are mirrow shiney bright enough for to shave with them, not being like that will make it want to pull to left. Sounds like you may have 2 or 3 problems as well as the cross bar not adjusted correctly. And it fit just correctly when we got it with a 60# wheel tread on the larger Ford but your tractor should be set on a 52" wheel tread same as the N series Fords used for plowing.
