Pullstart 62,812 #1 Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) Does anyone have a C series (not black hood) with a 42” plow? I’m trying to verify this fits and only have a C-85 to compare to before shipping the plow. I want to make sure for the buyer’s sake that it’ll work! *edit* I believe my issue making it work is the rear axle bracket. I’m using one for a tiller I think. It has a cross bar on the front interfering with the plow frame. Edited October 3, 2022 by Pullstart 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 9,713 #2 Posted October 3, 2022 I have a 42” plow on my 1974 C160 Auto. Fits/Works great. I had to bend the quadrant lever slightly as it was hitting the foot rest. I’m under the impression that’s fairly common. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had a 42" plow when I got it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,812 #4 Posted October 3, 2022 I got to thinking last night. The bracket on that axle is fitted to work as a mount for the GT14 fenders and sheet metal. The front crossbar wasn’t allowing the plow to sit flat. It’s tilted to the left, making more interference on the right. The things that come to you with your head on a pillow! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,040 #5 Posted October 3, 2022 Tractors don't really care if it's a 42 or 48. Long frame plows are pretty much the same. There are some different bent angle levers. Where you run into issues are the axle brackets. I run a std. long frame plow on my 953. I had an axle bracket that the ears engaged the plow frame on the outer sides. Was a real pain to put on. I found another bracket that looked identical except the ears engaged the frame on the inside edge. Made all the difference 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just for curiosity. I don't suppose you have any pictures? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,036 #9 Posted October 3, 2022 Top one in the photo looks like the early hitch that bolted to the front of the axle housing. Are the notches in the sides or ends of the angle iron pieces? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
