wh-jason 32 #1 Posted October 7, 2012 ok, somebody help me here. i just put a rockshaft and clevise hitch on a c-161 to attach a 10" brinley plow. however i cant get it adjusted right, when i get it set to raise high enough for the plow not to hit the ground it wont lower far enough to plow, and when its adjusted low enough to plow it wont raise high enough to pull the plow out of the dirt. im gettin full motion at the bell crank and at the rock shaft. i have to be missing something. :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 2,570 #7 Posted October 8, 2012 What about the deck height adjuster screw?? sounds like that's limiting the travel... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wh-jason 32 #8 Posted October 8, 2012 What about the deck height adjuster screw?? sounds like that's limiting the travel... It's automatic with hydro lift. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butch 194 #9 Posted October 13, 2012 Do you have the manual on how to install it? If not I could scan mine and email it to you. I have one on my C-175 Auto and don't have any problem with the mold board plow. I didn't jerry rig anything and had a complete hitch system when I installed it.

wh-jason 32 #10 Posted October 13, 2012 I finally figured it out. The plow we were trying to use wasn't the correct one so I fabbed up a bracket, it works perfect now. Thx for all the helpful replies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
56flatbed 29 #11 Posted October 15, 2012 Butch, I am running into a similar situation with a tiller on my C141 automatic. I have no idea how the hydro hooks up to the rear lift setup. Can you help? Wally wkoeberl@bellsouth.net Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
