Mount points on a 44

I'd like to fabricate a front mounted snow blade for my 44 and I was wondering if there are any mounting points on the tractor that are specifically for that sort of load or any mount points to specifically avoid? I was thinking about clamping/mounting around the rear axle using the two holes that are cast in to the bottom of the housing on each side and the two saddles on top of the axle on each side. With the design that I have in mind these would be taking all the thrust from the blade.

The force for Raising and lowering the blade will not be applied to this area, only the thrust of driving it forward.

Thanks,

Robin

I have just finished a mounting frame for a snowplow for my 44. The front tub is plenty strong for a snow plow blade. I simply built two 5/8" plates attached to the mounting holes on the front of the tub and extended them down to the plow harness level. I also tied into the tow plate that extends from just below the grill and mounted a plate to hole the lift cylinder. I droped two supports from the upper plate to the actual harrness and braced everything side to side It looks good and can be removed easily. I used 1/2" grade 8 fastners with big washers on the plates mounted to the tub. I've done a few of these over the years and this was the easiest yet.
Make sure you give yourself lots of upward movement for the blade. In other words make sure you can lift the blade as high as posible so you can pile the snow.
As matter of interest how have you donr the hydraulics on your set up??

Bob,

Don't suppose you could post or e-mail some pics of your setup, could you?

email is [email protected]
Haven't done anything with the hydraulics yet, figured that would come after I had the mechanics of it figured out.

Thanks,

Robin

There are places on the front section of the u-frame designed to bolt things to.I would design the rear piece to pin in the draw-bar that way it don't put pressure on the axle houseing.The pieces on the axle houseing break fairly easy.

Duuuh....

You are absolutely correct and I am quite possibly an idiot. Gee, why don't we put the stress on the mounts that MH designed for pushing/pulling. D'you think that would work? ;-)

Thanks for helping me pull my head out my ....

Every once in a while it just takes a bit of a push in the right direction. Thanks Bruce.

Robin.
