Plow low and steering wheel being loose and out of alignment

[520hC-120 136]

I don't consider this a big problem but my 520H has a hydraulic lift and when all the way up it's pretty low on the ground.So as you can picture I'm going up a bump and the plow is getting busted up and I'm going deaf because of the sound. My second problem is that my steering wheel is way out of alignment and loosy goosy flopping around any feedback would be nice 👍.

What connects the plow frame to the tractors lift arm? Solid link or chain link....if it's chain maybe you could loose a link? 

What Digger said....pics of how its hooked up would be helpful.

Is the linkage on the plow frame slotted or a single hole or both? Try the single hole also try taking the trans tunnel cover off and adjusting the rockshaft linkage tighter to raise it higher but remember it still will only raise as high as the tie rod linkage on the front axle, as far as the steering wheel looseness have you greased all the fan gears/and column bushings? it's amazing what a little grease can do to help eliminate slop, but after a lot of years/hours the bearing/bushing/gears could just be severely worn on the steering linkage,Jeff.

You can take up much of the steering slop with a simple adjustment.  In front of the steering gear you will find a castle nut with a cotter pin.  Remove the cotter and turn the nut in as far as possible without causing the steering to bind, then reinstall the cotter pin.  If you are too far in to engage the cotter pin properly, put a washer behind the nut.

     The Rocker Shaft has several holes in it, move the chain or link that lifts the plow out to the furthest hole, lift it a little at a time to be sure it isn't going to bind on the front axle. See page 5 of this manual.

I'm willing to bet your steering block is cracked. Real common with hyd. lift tractors. Lift arm hits it in full raised position and cracks it.

Here are some pics for you all to see

I think you are lifting by the wrong arm on the rock shaft.

 The chain should be going straight up, not at an angle.

Not supposed to be lifting from two(2) points.
