The Plow

QUESTION:
Meli.....
   I have an antique plow. When I tried to lift it out of the ground, I pulled the rope and it lifted; but instead of locking, it clicked and and went back down again. Do you know any solutions for my problem?
A very OLD picture of me!
Hi ya,
    You might be just holding on to the rope TOO long. Try just giving it one quick yank, and LET GO!! Then, when it's UP, a quick yank will make it drop; but if you hold the rope too long, it'll climb right back up again!
    If it still doesn't work right, something is sticking. Squirt EVERYTHING with oil. Fill the thing with oil if there is a filler hole, and grease any fittings. If it STILL sticks, guess what; you gotta take it apart and see what's wrong!!
