ebinmaine 69,681 #7377 Posted October 29, 2020 @Robert K that's a right slick looking set-up. I'm VERY impressed. If a taller bracket AND longer actuator were both put into play you could have a bit of slide space to give float and still be able to bottom out for down pressure. Gives me ideas this one does..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed. I will for sure be changing out to a 6" possibly even an 8". Had to make sure I built it for easy access in raising the hood. Not a lot of room between the blade and tractor. And thank you!

And thank you! On my big wheel tractor I'm going to mount the fuel tank out front. I'm getting around the hood tilt by putting a solid pin across the bottom of the hood. I'll unlatch the rear then lift whole thing straight up. On my snowplow horse I have oversized tires. I needed to move the plow assembly forward. I increased the clearance from blade to front tires by fabbing up plow brackets out of an old frame that moves the entire plow frame forward 2". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 9,065 #7382 Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Fistly i smelled Fuel in the Shed and see while inspect few dribbs below the Horse. Know allready, that will happen, and after Today i was prepared. So i ordered allready a new Fuelline, but wait for changing because here is no longer plain Fuel available, so it was clear for me it is just a question of time, that i must change it, but i was prepared and change the Fuelline completely to a Bioethanol usable one..

Tractorhead 9,065 #7383 Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Dang, i‘m today the idiot quick klicker...😎 The scratch Plow Frame... after i changed the Fuelline, i start continoue with the new Plow Frame i built. The idea was clear, the prep was parently done, so i cutted today the rungs. after checking double if all seems to fit i started the Welder. while Welding things together, i have an idea, wow to solve a Quickmount. The Baseframe Welded and rechecked, if all aligning Well. Thinkering on the front swing, test if it will work. While i testing, i get finally the idea how i like to solve the „quickmount“ what was on the „open todo“ list. The solution is as simple as nice. 2x 3/4“ Bolts will be set in 2 pipes, that they can be quick slided in for mount or slide out to remove. A Clamp will fix them when mounted. The pipes welded on... how the system works... on the Axles two mounts will be screwed on they get two holes (one on the left and one on the right) Mount position Release position..
