Plow.

[Retired Wrencher 5,451]

Has anyone every taken of the plow blade off the frame. I had to redo the garage this year do not have have room for the attached plow. So If I can get the plow blade off this can work. Will attached when I need it. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Are we talking snow plow?

 

We've done that quite a few times here.

Three rods total if I remember right.

There should be a hairpin or cotter pin at the end of the pivot rod at the top and bottom of the springs for the plow.

There's also shorter rod near the bottom. 

 

Rust and corrosion can be a pain in the neck but they do come apart.

I take em off every year. I can stack the blades and stack the frames. Saves room.

Good opportunity to give all the pivot points the @peter lena treatment

Easy peasy...

I remove my 48" blade and install the tiller every spring and fall.       Just pull the two pins.    Can't be any easier.

@Retired Wrencher  relatively easy to seperate those plows , another vital opportunity , is to service the STEERING QUADRANT , often neglected . packed with dirt / rust / debris , that spring operated slide pin , and related slide base , slould be clean and red grease lubed . personally , go over every functional / movement area . washer up sloppy connections , tighten up hand squeeze lever connection rod . for more direct response. also like to used oil , wipe down the blade face , to stop rust and enhance slide off. this is a personal choice , if you like your stuff , rusty and troublesome to use , don,t change a thing , I like it easy and smooth .pete
