1984 GT1100 plow parts diagram

[billythegoat 4]

Looking for part # and where I can purchase the "blade control rod" for my 1984 GT1100 wheel horse. It broke off during last year's snowstorm and finally now getting a chance to prep for the coming winter.

Welcome!

Got a model number for the plow? That would allow you to search in the Manuals - Implements section for the Exploded diagram & parts list.

Is it a simple 1/2" diameter steel rod with a 90 degree bend at each end?? If so many of us (myself included) make a better version using a straight piece of 1/2" round stock and thread the ends 1/2-20 for a pair of Heim Joints. MUCH smoother feel, no slop.

This is the blade sold back in 1984 for your tractor but any blade from 1973-2012 for the long frame tractors is basically the same so you could have one of many.

I've done one too. EXCELLENT upgrade. 

The side angle control is far superior to OE.

@ri702bill   noticing  a missed ENHANCEMENT DETAIL  ?  in your  great  plow frame  pictures ,  see it ?  add a medium pull extension spring  from , frame  HITCH PIN CLIP  TO  pto swing arm  LOCKING  PIN , CORNER  HOLE  ? that lubricated smooth  tension ELIMINATES LINKAGE  BUZZING , regularly go over any change , to ENHANCE  THAT , this idea zone is what drives me  to other opportunities ,  like spring  pull to close / stop , throttle / choke  cable linkage ?  verified  total lubrication  makes it  smooth  with a  light  pull assist  to  any  stage . dare to experiment , pete
