Three point mounted Dearborn plows do not have gage wheels and do not need such. They were originally equipped with a rolling landside (tail wheel) which is needed, though many have been removed.That was my thought when I learned the machine lacked draft control. Semi mount plows are rare here on the east coast, but I could put a gauge wheel on the plow easily enough. Thanks
You also need coulters, especially if plowing sod. Again, many have been removed.
Your tractor with loaded R1 tires should pull your 2X14 plow just about anywhere without difficulty if the plow is in decent shape and properly set up. Draft control would help but is not a necessity considering the size of your tractor.
Find a Ford 8N Owner's Manual and follow the set up instructions therein.
