Suburban 400 Dozer Blade Angle Pin Chain

[WH-Dave 7]

Does anyone have any photos of a Suburban with a plow and the pedal hooked up to the pin for changing the blade angle? I recently bought the plow pedal off eBay, but I can’t figure out how the chain is supposed to route without rubbing on the front axle. Did they just let it rub back in the day? I’ll post some photos later.

Don't have a plow for my Suburban's but these may help you out.

Wow I didn't ever know this was a thing. I have had a 550 Suburban with a snowplow for 25yrs and have always just dismounted, pulled chain by hand and rotated plow. I used to use the 550 to push snow a bunch years ago and thought I was in Hogg heaven when I came into a plow set up on the 857 that had a handle to rotate plow. Please post some pics if and when you get this setup. I guess I wasn't thinking about working smarter not harder back then .

The pin hangs lower than the axle and the lower end of the pedal is much lower than the axle so it shouldn't be touching it.

It might if you have a RJ frame mount on a Suburban tractor. The frame mount should look just like the drawings posted
