Antiquated 3 #1 Posted November 16, 2013 I got the bracket on the rear axle and the clamps are set on the rear of the plow frame. Problem is it looks like the the hook or pin that's operated by the raise/lower arm on the left side of the tractor is too far forward for the plow frame to attach. Thus, I have no way to raise or lower the slow plow because things aren't lining up. Does that make sense? I'm wondering if I put the rear axle bracket on backwards? Are those sliding clamp things supposed to be easily accessible from the rear of the tractor or are they supposed to be on the front side of the axle? Thanks!

Antiquated 3 #2 Posted November 16, 2013 Actually I can't turn it around the other way because then the clamps will hit the brake and drive pulley.... I'm not sure why it's not lining up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P3x 57 #3 Posted November 16, 2013 Do not understand the issue you mention connecting the plow frame link to the lift bar, but the rear axle bracket should have the lock levers pointing to the rear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 23,170 #4 Posted November 16, 2013 What tractor do you have? And is there a model# on the plow? Any chance we could get a picture of what yer working with? Like the previous post stated the attachment levers point out the back. Mike............. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antiquated 3 #5 Posted November 18, 2013 For some reason I can't get my picture to upload. Anyway, I spoke to the guy I bought it from (who is a Red Square member) and he has pointed me in the right direction. I was thinking the blade frame hooked into the same lift pin as the mower deck but that's not case apparently. I will bolt it to the hole in the lift mechanism closer to the transmission with a metal strip I have. BTW, the tractor is a 1980 C-145 and the only numbered tag I could find in the deck frame says 42BC01 and below that, 9323. There are some other numbers but I can't make them out in the dark. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trouty56 567 #6 Posted November 18, 2013 Yeah...I take that mower lift arm off when I have a blade attached.....not hard to do......or at least you can strap it up out of the way..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,493 #7 Posted November 22, 2013 The 1980 dozer blade is model number 06-42BC01 and the 9323 is the 323rd day of 1979 - November 19, 1979 which would be correct for a 1980 blade. We don't have the 1980 manual but here is the 1981 Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
