Just put on a neon yellow vest and hard hat If anyone asks? You tell them simply " budget cutbacks" Good idea , keep a look out for my pic at the post office if it doesn’t work out 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 75,064 #78 Posted Sunday at 10:06 PM I flipped the cutting edge on one plow this weekend. I plan on using this one for the scooper. For now it rests nearby my '75 C160 Automatic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handy Don 14,894 #81 Posted 13 hours ago (edited) Quite unexpectedly, we had a couple of very heavy snow showers blast through this afternoon where I’m visiting my daughter and SIL south of Lowell MA. Way too warm for sticking but it looked very pretty and left my car very wet! Edited 12 hours ago by Handy Don 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm choosing to leave them firmly bolted in place for now. Likely look at bracing options tomorrow. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm choosing to leave them firmly bolted in place for now. Likely look at bracing options tomorrow. You could always weld 2 rods on each backside. The bottom hole circular to match rod diameter. Top hole slotted arc to allow the side panels to float with the terrain. Washers (or plates?) and pins for easy removal.

My concern is the attachment point where they bolt to the plow. I'm thinking about getting a corner brace from approximately 12" out from the plow and brace making a triangle 🔺️. Simple strap steel. The terrain float isn't likely to be a huge issue. Our driveway surface is pretty flat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
