Sparky-(Admin) 21,308 #1 Posted January 11, 2019 Somehow I have acquired two 48” snowplows with the 5 hole sectors. The weird thing is I never see them or hear anything about them. Mine are very different in the angling hardware. One has the standard rigid wire to the triangle plate that pivots and pulls the angle position pin. The other has a cable similar to the brake cables on a bicycle. The angle arm also has some interesting factory bends in it. They both work perfect. Are they rare? What years were they produced? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,373 #2 Posted January 11, 2019 I don't know about rarity but the xi and 260 series blades had the 5 position quadrants maybe even earlier, but that angle lever with the cable is what my dealer ordered for me way back in the fall of 1998 for the mid 70s 3 position blade I bought for the Anniversary 520H. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
