You have to slot the hole in the plow frame part to allow for raising an lowering the blade. Leave it snug on the sides...

ebinmaine 67,433 #35 Posted January 25 37 minutes ago, sparkys toy said: 79252 So here's some interesting information. The bracket you're looking for information on is, as you stated a couple posts back, the original lift bracket. It fits a 260 series. It was not intended to fit a B C 3 or 400. If you click on the link above, you can see where one of our members adapted a 260 plow frame to his own 3 4 500. So that's not actually a stabilizer bracket. Seems to function just fine as one though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were doing new and recorded radio drama shows into the 80’s and I would listen in the car while waiting to pick up my wife from grad school. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
