I am a rookie too and just gotthe trip plow I bought down off my trailer and was playing with it in the front yard to see how it worked (not hooked up to anything). Now I know I should not have tripped it there, as I will have to tear up a little yard to get it back up. It is pretty cool to go online planning to post a question and already have it asked and answered before you get there.
On a side note, is there any place to get parts for a JD trip plow. Specifically, The big spring is broken and one of the lever's pull rods and small lever handle are missing. I got my big spring from the local good hardware store by taking the old one in and finding a mate. Auto parts places can sometimes help too. The handles for the levers you might have to find another horse or early tractor implement to get one from. THe rod that usually breaks can be replaced with regular rod.
Getting the bends right takes some heat and patience. I have been known to take some baling wire to them just like the farmer would have 80 years ago.
Gives the piece some character. If you want the rod bent for you, find a local blacksmith or horseshoer and they can fix you up with a pattern. We used to have and old disc plow we used to plow stump ground with don't know what brand or anything.
When you pulled trip rope to raise it pulled an arm with a roller on it. This roller was pulled out of what I would a cam. The cam turned allowing the plow to be raised or lowered the roller went back in the cam to hold it in raise or lower position. The cam was mounted to the drive wheel and there was a type of sprag clutch to engage the mechanism. In our state we have Amish up at Jamesport and they all use trip rope machinery.
If there are any Amish or Menoniteswhere you are from they will be more than happy to show you equipment and how it works. I have a JD trip plow. When there is extreme pressure on the point, the plow will trip. It actually rolls 'down' with the pressure.
In looking at the design, it looks like there is a notch in the top of the shaft that the plow mounts to. There is a roller on an arm that sits in the hole. I assume there is spring pressure on the roller. Extreme pressure will make the roller roll 'out' of the notch and the plow will trip.
You then back up and it will click back in and you are ready to go again. Saves breaking the plow to bits hitting rocks and such.
My problem is the plow has tripped so much over the years, very hard ground will trip one of the three. I need to clean up the notch a little.
