CHARGER9AUTO 3 #1 Posted December 20, 2007 The 953 should have some down pressure to raise the Dozer Blade with the front wheels off the ground . Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,264 #2 Posted December 20, 2007 Does the 953 have a solid link from the plow to the lift mech? I've been thinking of down pressure with all this ice we've been getting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #3 Posted December 20, 2007 When I had my 953 I did have a solid link for it that did provide down pressure that would lift the front tires as the snow plow was "hydraulicly powered down" But the 953/1054/1054A did not have a float on the hyd system. So the handling was an issue for me with the snow blade not able to go up & down "float" oer uneven surfaces. I ended up useing a chain instead of the link because going over uneven ground would really affect the steering with the blade in a fixed position. I'd have to run out in the shop, but I don't think the early A frames for the plows that came with the "large frames" had the oblong hole for the link to go into like the later style plow frames. The oblong hole give a solid link a bit of room for the plow to creep with an electric or HYD lift without a float system. Hope I'm makeing sense & this isn't rambling that adds to confusion :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
