fritz 1 #1 Posted December 8, 2008 i have a short frame snow blade that has been modified for a long frame. it is only about six inches longer. i do not know if it would be bad do keep blading with it. becouse it is really close to the hood. do i need to try to find a long frame blade or do you think it should make it through the winter with out hurting my wheel horse ????/ thank you all devin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,472 #2 Posted December 8, 2008 Fritz: How long is the whole frame from front to end that goes under the rear axle? Also how long from rear to the mid-attachment welded piece for you lift handle or hydraulic life to attach to? I think 63 or 64 inchses is the lenght it should be. My recollection is that some of the mid-attach hangers are six inches shorter or longer from the rear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Confused99 2 #3 Posted December 9, 2008 I am guessing if it's that close to your hood, you are not able to angle it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fritz 1 #4 Posted December 9, 2008 no i cant angle it. i don't think it is a mid mount blade because it seems to be the right size for my 857. well I'm at school got to go thank you all devin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #5 Posted December 9, 2008 Devin can you help us out with some pics? You say it's a short frame plow thats extended 6"...but you have it on an 857 & it's not long enough? I guess maybe I'm missing something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
