: I have a 1948 Farmall Cub with a factory single-blade moldboard plow. I turned the drawbar around so it is facing forward, attached it there, and hooked the chain to the back hydraulic lever. I tried to pull it, but it wouldn't dig down. It would just slide across the ground. The chain from the hydraulic lever to the plow had slack, but I didn't have the angle at which it would dig. I tried to attach it under the drawbar, but that still didn't help. If all else fails, I am going to cut some metal spacers with a plasma cutter and put them on the bottom of the drawbar and then bolt it. That should give me a better angle. Am I hooking it up wrong, or does anybody have any better ideas? Thanks. Also, thanks to Stan from VA for helping me with my last question. DEAR BRIAN SEEMS YOU DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE PLOW. THERE IS A LEVER THAT CONNECTS TO LEFT REAR WHEEL HOUSING THAT ADJUSTS THE TILT OF THE DRAWBAR WHICH YOU HAVE PROPERLY REVERSED. YOU REMOVE THE BOLTS SO IT WILL HINGE AND THE LEVER I SPEAK OF ADJUSTS THE TILT OF THE DRAWBAR AND THUS MAKES THE PLOW POINT PULL ITS INTO THE GROUND SELF
