Which Plow do I need?

[SamHit 0]

I have a 312-8 and a C-175. I have the option to purchase a plow from someone who has two similar but slightly different plows. Do I need one of them in particular? And do the two machines use the same plow? I’ll attach a photo of the plows

Yes. the one on the right will work.  You will also need the axle bracket to mount the plow.

here is is some unsolicited advice from experience ----- after you get your plow ( which look rusty ) - you may want to consider some blade maintenance -- check the wear edge blade on bottom of blade to be sure it is in good condition other wise replace it  - secondly, consider removing the rust from blade with grinder - wire wheel - sand paper etc --- and then paint it. The rust causes friction therefore the snow will not peel off and flow as well when on angle... the snow will also stick making it less efficient and heavier to lift - especially if you have manual lift - Also suggest to apply some type non stick product -- Non Stick spray -- or WD40 type product - Fluid Film etc -- or car wax etc -- Good luck ! Have fun - i have both the C175 and 312-8 you have - - either will plow great
