AMC RULES 36,945 #1 Posted December 29, 2013 Getting ready to set up a plow on the new C-175 I just brought home. Discovered I had this NOS, 5 hole sector on hand.. Wondering, can I just swap this one with the original 3 hole, with no further modifications/parts needed? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ol550 829 #2 Posted December 29, 2013 No it can't be swapped. Just send it to me to dispose of. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daveoman1966 3,612 #4 Posted December 29, 2013 Yep...direct swap-over. I just did this on my C-160 with a 48" plow and it works much better than the 3-position knuckle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,945 #5 Posted December 29, 2013 Better in what way...more range to angle the plow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,892 #6 Posted December 29, 2013 Can two more holes be drilled in the three hole sectors, or are they too close together ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,945 #7 Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) That's the first thing I looked at when holding them up together... looks to me like there's plenty of room for two more holes in my original sector. Edited December 29, 2013 by AMC RULES Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,892 #8 Posted December 29, 2013 Sounds like a good rainy day project. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,976 #9 Posted December 29, 2013 Can't believe you hadn't used it yet. I like my 5 banger a lot! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,945 #10 Posted December 30, 2013 So...I made the switch over to the five holer today, and finally got my plow mounted up. Just in time because the Weather man is suggesting a "significant snow event" may be coming in Thurs of this week..should have just enough time to put the vinyl back in place on my 520's cab too... then I'll have my two biggest 's on stand by, at the ready to tag team it...if need be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 36,945 #13 Posted December 30, 2013 Trust me Mike...this is an old school asphalt job here...wafer thin at best. It'll be interesting to see if it even survives one season of the plow or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,741 #14 Posted December 31, 2013 Can two more holes be drilled in the three hole sectors, or are they too close together ? I thought this came up before and the folks said the holes would be too close to the current holes.....Personally I haven't checked, but a little more angle would help me some!

AMC RULES 36,945 #15 Posted December 31, 2013 I think it could be done. The spacing between the holes might not be perfect... but you would gain a bit more blade articulation than you have now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
