I've got an old plow at the ranch, can't identify the make or model. My grandfather always just called it the "chisel" plow, because it was what we used first of the plowing season before disking.
I've pulled it around a few times, and can raise and lower the right side with the big lever handle, and can raise and lower the left side the the cranking handle. However, it has some type of raising and lowering hub system on the left (inside of that big wheel with the angled teeth) that has a rope attached to a spring lever that I believe is supposed to partially raise and lower the "deep" plowing side with a yank of the rope to allow you to raise and lower from the tractor seat when coming in and out of rows on the field.
It seems to be partially frozen up, was wondering if anyone had any experience with these. Thanks!
