Super A's and Snow Plows

Posted by Brian on August 21, 2003 at 18:48:41 from (65.49.176.16):

I've recently bought a used plow for a 4x4 truck, I believe it's just a average 7 foot model. I'm contructing a mount for it on my super A. There is a frame that attaches to the rear drawbar to take any strees and ensure that there is none going through the torque tube.I was planning on using the hydraulic to lift the plow, it will rely on gravity to lower it. Anyhooo.. a local farmer came by today and saw what I was doing. He told me that the front end couldn't handle this plow. He thought the front bearings and pivot pin weren't designed for it. I need some other opinions. I can't see how the small time I have the plow raised will do alot of wear, and when the plow is down...there should be no stress on the front end. I was also planning on putting some counter weight on the back to give me added traction. Our drive way is about 500 feet long, and not paved.

One final question, does it make much difference what height those 2 horizontal pivot pins are at ? I didn't measure how high the original was on the truck, but I would guess it was around 12 inches. Mine is at 14.

Thanks for any advice/opinions and facts.

Brian.
