Jerzguy2 23 #1 Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Just wondering if both a 42" plow and 48" attachment is identical. Wish to put a 48" on a '88 416-8. Model 79350 plow Thanks Edited October 26, 2020 by Jerzguy2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,028 #2 Posted October 26, 2020 Yes, they are the same. The 48" will work well on the 416. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jerzguy2 23 #5 Posted October 26, 2020 Thank you for the advise, been over 40 years since I put one on. Jack 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,028 #6 Posted October 26, 2020 Jack, I am assuming you are aware there is a short and a long plow frame. Of course you need the long frame for your 416. The blades themselves 42, 48, and 54" will fit on any frame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerzguy2 23 #7 Posted October 26, 2020 Aw, assume not ! I'm quite sure this is the long frame. How long should it be? Im not measuring tonight, don't need the aggravation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 38,028 #9 Posted October 26, 2020 The rear half of the long frame will have parallel sides. The short frame sides are an "A" shape from front to rear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tom2p 2,394 #11 Posted October 27, 2020 wow - 40 years - you got me beat been around 20 years since I've mounted my plow they work well - even without wheel weights I was able to push snow fairly well (on level and down hill) can adjust angle easily and easy to install and remove 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerzguy2 23 #12 Posted October 27, 2020 Thats because it was on a machine my father bought new in '65 and I was used until maybe 1980. When I sold, I didn't think I would use it so I gave it away. I bought one to cut my lawn about 12 years ago and tomorrow I pick up my third. Now I have to start putting plows on again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
