My Snowplow tractor for this winter!

Recommended Posts

Lane Ranger

I am going to use the 633 this winter for snowplowing  instead of my B-80 set up I have used for five years.  I want to see how this 633 and  1962 -BD-4262 Snowplow will do. 

 

 

I placed the 1962 -Wheel Horse BD-4262 Snowplow/Dozer Blade and two newer Wheel Horse rear wheel weights on the 1963 -633 recoil start Wheel Horse. This will be the second half of my snow fighting team this year. The 1967 Lawn Ranger is... ready with the STR-324 Snowthrower.

I am looking forward to using this BD-4262 Snowplow as it has a foot pedal on the right side to open the pivot pin for the front of the plow and a handle with a knob to move the plow left/right or center. This plow (and the 1961) was the early version of the plow that would pivot with a handle on the right side.

Looks really nice  Ags are good in fresh snow but if it is frozen or icy underneath you will want chains.

I would have much more fun playing in the snow with that little Horse than sliding down hills on a sled!

Good luck with it, but personally I hope you don't get to use it ( at least not very often) cause after you get it, that white stuff comes down this way and I am not at all ready for it this year!

Lane, That snowplow on your 633 looks like its a modern new unit right out of the box..   very nice and may I ask where did you find that. ( Just curious and you don't have to say if you don't want to)   :)  :handgestures-thumbupright:

Nice plow rig 633 looks great and the nice part about it is you don't need to worry about a dead or weak battery.  I have the same plow on my 502 and 552 they are kind of a pain to use compared to the ones that have the trip lever on the handle, I think they need a little longer foot lever, takes a little getting used to.  My 552 was my primary snow machine last year and I had a lot of fun using it, I went into snow drifts that I though for sure I was going to get stuck in but it pushed right through.  I was not stuck in this pic I just got off to take it and jumped back on and went right through this drift.

Terry: I actually bought this plow -now get this-for $20 when I bought another tractor in Southern Illinois.   The guy I bought it from had 50 plus lawn and garden tractors, mowers, etc and was selling off some things.   He was a John Deere guy but I noticed he had a Wheel Horse 953  tractor with plow and chains as his snow moving rig in one shed.

 

  The plow was sitting outside rusting in the weeds and I just happened to go back and look at it closer.  (I did not need another plow -I have four in the basement right now 1) but this was early this year and I just asked how much do you want for it.   When he said $20 I had to have it.    

 

I took it all a part and sanded, wire brushed, primed and repainted with Rustoleum Regal Red and black paint on the cutting edge -which is still very good on both sides.

 

 

Rydogg:  I agree the pedal for moving the pivot pin in and put is a little small or short especially if you are using heavy work boots to operate it.  But I like the way it operates.

 

 

One other thing to note the previous owner welded on  six inches of steel bar (same set up as original plow had) to extend this plow and make it useful on laonger frame wheel horse tractors.   You can see in one of the pictures  (second one down)  above.
