Cub plowing

I'm hoping y'all can help me out. I put the Cub to work yesterday on new ground for the garden with my new to me 193 plow. I was pleasantly surprised at how easily the Cub pulled the plow through our heavy clay. It did its part but I guess I didn't do mine! For sure I plowed too deep. Not sure how to stop that and still keep the lift chain loose? (I've read that's the proper way?) Also, the dirt wasn't turned over but rather "stood up." In other words, what was the turf on the left side laying flat was straight up in the air after I ran the plow through. Is this due to the depth I plowed? I was really wanting a disk about then, but had my brother run his JD mounted tiller over it. What adjustment am I missing? Would appreciate your thoughts. Go easy on the new guy.
 
Also, you should read through the 193 manual here on the forum in the pdf manual section. There’s quite a lot to setting up a 193 plow properly.
 
The owners manual shows how to set wheel spacing. I believe the proper width is 44", but the plow manual specifies it.

It's difficult to get a 193 plow to run excessively deep. The tractor draw bar starts to dig into the ground if you go much more than 6" deep.

I think around 54 inches. Not sure how that would be adjusted other than flipping them around?

Wheel spacing is measured center-to-center and if you did measure the 54" c-to-c, wheel spacing would be the first place to start. Before you do anything, get up close and personal with the 193 owners manual. Study it thoroughly and follow the setup instructions.

My furrows weren't turning all the way and after I was done I realized my wheel spacing was at 40 inches. It was to late to do it over.
 
I might need to lower the colter. I'd say I was at plowing about 12 inches deep. And yes, the front edge of drawbar was digging in too. 54" was to the outside of tires I believe. I'll have to run over to the barn and check using barnyards pics and a measuring tape. (Thank you BTW!). Moldboard was secured. I was likely moving too slow if that matters. First go at it and all. Not sure if I'll plow any more garden this year, but I'd like to have it straight before I make a mess of things again next year. You guys rock!
 
Hi,
You didn't say if you have the depth control lever, to the right of the seat. It is used for plowing with a 193 Plow. It is connected to the drawbar, which is in the forward position using the plow.
The drawbar has to have the 2 bolts removed, that keep it in one position, so it will move up and down.
You would pull the lever to the rear to raise the front of the plow, and keep it from plowing too deep.

Below is the owner's manual for the Cub 193 Plow. It has lots of info.

Below are pics from TM Tractor of a Cub 193 Plow on a Cub. They don't really show the lever fully. It has a quadrant with notches for adjusting the lever position.
Not all plows have the chain on the right side that goes to the lever mounting. Some have the chain and some don't.

If the rear wheel discs are facing in, the widest tread it can have is 44".
The discs have to be facing out for wider widths. :)
 
The center to center measurement is 40." Is this something that a tire shop needs to switch out? Do the tires need to be removed from the rims? If not, is there a link showing how to do that anywhere? I can't see what is adjustable there. Sorry for all the questions...

Swap your rims from inside the center to the outside. Don't swap the centers.
 
Man, I'm really feeling stupid here. The outer rim can be removed from the center? And if I switch them around it will add 4 inches?
 
Take the rim loose from the center and move it to the outside of the center on each side. That will move it out two inches on each side. Post a pic of what you have.
