I am going to reduce it to 3x16" and am undecided if I should keep it Semi-Mounted or just convert it to Fully Mounted...??? I like the way a Semi transports but we all like the ease of operation of a Fully-mounted plow.. Semi-Mounted looks better when it is on and ready to go.. Would anyone have a good picture of a 3x16 JD Semi-Mounted plow, so I can see how the steering linkage is arranged..?? Thank..! Ron.. [Reply]   [No Email]

I am still trying to figure if I should put the Bellcrank for the cylinder in the other side of the beam, to get it to line up with the rear wheel better..?? I think it will clear the steering Bellcrank..will just angle the cylinder some toward the center of the frame... What do ya think..? Ron..   [Reply]  [No Email]

Not as easy to follow a contour terrace with a straight 3pt as the semi.   [Reply]  [No Email]

OR..to just make it a fully mounted plow (3 bottom).. Ron.. PS: I did not find any pictures of any F-145 plows in the archives..   [Reply]  [No Email]

All factory three bottom F145's had the pivot for the steering linkage mounted over the front bottom not over the second like yours.It will work fine and I have seen a hundred or more cut down in the last 25 years at sales.We cut a five to a four once but did not like the wider frame on the five as well as the factory four bottom.   [Reply]  [No Email]
