Allis C snowplow

• Hobby farm

The original installation of the V-plow on my '42B included a pivot point for attaching the plow. That pivot (and push) point was provided by a simple pair of 2-1/2" steel angles that extended from just to the front of the axle back to the rear drawbar. There were intermediate vertical supports from the two angles up to the implement mounting holes on either side of the torque tube near where the engine rear flange attaches. I don't have any pictures of that hook-up because I used the steel for another purpose years ago. That was the original arrangement, together with the front lift and hand hydraulic pump for the B V-plow that you see on my web page. It was all custom built by the AC dealer in 1942 for a B. I have seen one other front lift on a B just like mine so it may not have been unique to the dealer my B came from. BTW, the original V-plow itself was about 6 ft wide at the widest point. Dad used it on the B for many years. Some years ago I widened it to about 10 ft for use on my Oliver. Used it today in fact to push the snow banks back on my 1/2 mile driveway. Worked slick. You could use a similar angle iron push/pivot arrangement for a standard blade as well, coupled with a front lift mechanism.
