TravelinJavelin 620 #1 Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) so its been a interesting day to say the least ...so anyway i bought back a charger 9 that i got last year and discovered the plow i got with it was a long frame and fits my 953 like a glove well not so with the charger 9 when lining up the lift and other stuff so now i need to come with a different plan i guess ......looks like back to work on the 953 rear diff and get some thinner head bolts and go from there and maybe a snow blow attach for the charger 9 lol.....................if i didn't crap luck i wouldn't have any at all lol!

TravelinJavelin 620 #3 Posted November 18, 2018 the linkages to hook up to raise the plow frame .......just not sure if the charger 9 is considered a short frame tractor or not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure either. Still should hook up I think. Hand lever to chain. Chain to lift lever. Lift lever to plow frame. Or A solid link between the two of them. Maybe @Achto or @pfrederi @buckrancher @953 nut Might know for sure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,350 #5 Posted November 18, 2018 the wheel base for a Charger 9 has a 45.5 inch wheel base, my 68 Commando 8 has a 41.5 inch wheel base. So I'm not sure if they consider that a mid length or long base Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I'm not sure if they consider that a mid length or long base I'm not sure on that length question either. I believe that plow should work on either one though. My plow came off a long frame and is currently on a B80 which is a mid frame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,350 #7 Posted November 18, 2018 What we need is a picture of the plow frame. Seems to me if it fit a 953 it ought to work on that Charger. Whereas a short frame plow would be to short to be able to angle the plow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TravelinJavelin 620 #9 Posted November 19, 2018 and thats what i was looking too but the linkages or hook up on the 953 line up perfect now the only thing i could think of maybe i have my bracket on the axle too far forward ? maybe i need to flip it around or something?

ebinmaine 67,279 #10 Posted November 19, 2018 Axle bracket should have the flip tabs facing the rear of the tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1977 6,643 #11 Posted November 20, 2018 There are two different axle brackets. The later one mounts under the axle. There is an older axle bracket that mounts in front of the axle. I believe it was used on tractors with a three point hitch.. What bracket do you have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TravelinJavelin 620 #12 Posted November 21, 2018 thats a good question yes it goes under the axle bracket Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
