1962adrian 0 #1 Posted September 18, 2010 Hello from Holland, recently bought this C-141 , it is made/ assembled in Belgium, 30 years old and still running smooth, build a subframe for it and attached a home built snow plow for it, still need some snowchains for it, than let the snow fall (if any!)

Trouty56 567 #2 Posted September 18, 2010 What kind of subframe did you build? I'd like to see how you connected it up. Is that a light above the plow?? Gives you light where you need it. Nice driveway too!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1962adrian 0 #5 Posted September 18, 2010 Hi, here a picture of the subframe and the lift system , its manual, using the lift lever. The tractor came with a mower deck, (heavy!) it caused tears in the metal plating around the lift-lever shaft bushing. I welded the bushing in place, so no more play there. Thanks for the comments!, Ad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jusjeepn 59 #11 Posted September 19, 2010 I like your spring assisted lift. This setup looks a lot like how the vert shaft machines are set up, except for the cantilever lift set up! Very nicely done! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
