[QUOTE="New Puritan, post: 5974026, member: 39018"] Thanks [USER=2813]@Selectamatic[/USER] , and anyone else who's chipped in earlier. The links are level - the levelling box is a bit notchy but I tinkered with it and used a spirit level to make sure. The tyres [I]were[/I] level until I got that flat on the offside. The front and back wheels all run on the same track. It's just a question of doing what people have suggested and being methodical about setting stuff correctly and making adjustments as I go along. The front furrow could take more land I think, but it doesn't seem especially easy to adjust on this plough? There's a couple of fairly big bolts that need to be undone that connect the headstock to the main body I think, and then a threaded bar thing that unwinds? Sorry about my appalling lack of knowledge of the correct terms. In your photo the skimmers look to be at a more aggressive angle than the boards. I think on mine they are roughly parallel, so I will adjust a bit more drastically. As mentioned previously there is also at least one Ransomes skimmer muddled in, I'll see if I can find the proper one or work out why it's gone missing. As per [USER=1880]@Flat 10[/USER] I am going to treat it to some new metal - the shins definitely need replacing. My problem is usually I intend to do one thing and then get diverted onto something else, but I will be there in the next few days and will take some photos. It's a bit wet here at present to do any more ploughing, though I've only got one small field left to do when I can fit it in. [/QUOTE]
