54" snow blade question

Recommended Posts

Adams94

When I angle my blade to the right the spring hits the direction control rod and it is hard to get the pin to lock into that position, pictures coming soon!  Thanks

On my 48" plow the rod is on the bottom, not the top as is yours.

can you flip over the quadrant?

I think the rod should be on the bottom.

I had not considered that, you just may be onto something:think:

The parts illustrations are usually very accurate and the rod is shown going down into the quadrant.

Bought and sold 10+ plows...the rod was always on the bottom.   Does the blade "trip" OK with the double springs?

Yes it will trip but is also stiff,  I bought it like it is, never would have guessed the rod was wrong but I will definitely switch it!   Thanks guys.  The parts diagram posted above does show 4 springs

Very true, well hmm so maybe it is correct.  I had kind of thought someone added the 2nd set of springs which caused it but the diagram show 4 springs also

If you were to shove the rod the springs are mounted on to the right as far as it will go and the right springs to the right as far as they will go is there room to add a flat washer or more to the rod between the 1st right spring and the quadrant?

Might work.

That may work, I will try it tomorrow!

Yes I agree that seems like it would make sense.  I hate to do that and it be wrong though, I am going to try and move the springs to the right first

I just looked at your pictures from another post and noticed that your pivid rod is backwards the bend in the rod should be on the plow end of tractor and  yours is on the tractor end flip it and you should be ok

Here's mine - had to rebuild this plow frame after someone totally destroyed it and welded a bunch of plates on there - it was a mess but I built it to match the original design as close as I could . The flat plate where the arm fits into the hole has a washer between it and the plate - not sure if the original rod had a slight bend at that end but this design works fine .

That looks good, I was just out messing with it as I changed the engine oil and I can get it in the right hole but sometimes it doesn't go in all the way.  I only need another 1/16 of an inch to make it work easy. Everything appears to be factory. The blade and parts are original.  Although it does not have a spring on the lock pin, I have to push it in with the handle

The spring sits inside the sector piece and uses a cotter pin to keep it under pressure . I put bushings into the 3 sector holes for the pin to fix a lot of wear that was in it . You could put a slight bend at the point of the rod right next to where it comes close to the spring - it would change the swing slightly but give you enough room to lock in on the right angle setting . Mine is really close , but it locks fine . All the rods and the main lock pin is 304 SS rod stock - had to make all new ones for this one - they really abused it badly .

I probably will put a slight bend in it.
