dwhjelm 19 #1 Posted February 3, 2022 Is there any adjustment for how high the snow plow attachment will raise? Mine only lifts about 2" of the ground in the raised position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 9,711 #2 Posted February 3, 2022 Are you using the solid lift bar are the lift chain. You can adjust the lift chain 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dwhjelm 19 #3 Posted February 3, 2022 I believe I have a chain but it doesnt seem to have any room for raising it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,712 #5 Posted February 3, 2022 Check out this picture to determine if you are in the right holes. If you have the star wheel adjustment, you might be able to lower that all the way and maybe raise a link or two on your chain. These will help, I also put a 2 x 4 under my blade to gain a link, but all of these will not gain you much. It seems height is around 3". 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,325 #6 Posted February 3, 2022 The front edge should clear the ground by 5 or 6 inches I'd think. You might be able to install spacers between the rear axle bracket and rear axle. That lowers the rear which raises the front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,745 #7 Posted February 3, 2022 My C-160 Auto with hyd lift will raise the 48" dozer blade about 5" max. I also have the SOLID LINK to put down pressure on the blade. With that solid link, I can lift the front wheels 3 to 4 inches off the ground... That kind of DOWN PRESSURE is great for cutting thru hard-pack snow... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dwhjelm 19 #8 Posted February 3, 2022 I have a 1989, 414-8 not sure what plow model is. It is a manual lift and turn blade. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Using the diagram posted by @stevasaurusabove you should be able to narrow down the issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just pins at the top and bottom for the connections. If you make one you can drill holes and use bolts with nuts and drill extra holes for adjustments if you find it necessary. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
