Will You are smarter than you thought, figured it out & not realized it. IIRC, your plow tail wheel does not move when raising the plow, just acts as a depth guide when plowing. When you raise the plow, pressure is exerted on the main wheels, raising the shares. Since the rear of plow is heavier than the hitch, it would tend to stay down & raise the hitch. With the chain adjusted right, the drawbar holds the hitch down, so the chain raises the rear of plow, keeping the rear share from scraping the ground. With the plow in the ground, move the chain in the notched bracket to allow 2 or 3 links of slack. If hooked to a tractor with different height drawbar, move it 1 or 2 links to make up difference. Older JD plows had a solid rod arrangement to do the same thing. Free floating, with a crank type nut for adjustment. That's my opinion, maybe someone will challenge me with a better one. Willie
