chorusguy 227 #1 Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) Finally got a push blade. But I have questions. 6-2132First thing. I had a really hard time getting it mounted. So any tips for that would be great. Second I have both solid links the straight one with the offsets and the curved one. The diagram shows a straight one so that is the one I used. Is that correct? Third what do you do with the deck lift bar? Fourth I mounted the solid lift in the second hole if the rocker and in the slot on the a frame. Correct? And finally when u am lowering the blade about mid way the tractor twists slightly so something is binding. I think it us the mower lift arm but am by myself so i can't see. And now really finally the motion control arm is binding slightly on something. Any suggestions?

chorusguy 227 #4 Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) OK. Thanks for your replies. I noticed in the photos there is a chain mounted through a trunion and then a smaller solid link. Both ate mounted to the mower deck lift. That would work. I don't have the chain but do have the smaller solid bar. However using a chain doesn't provide any down force correct?

Racinbob 11,917 #5 Posted July 18, 2015 Correct, no down force with a chain. I always hooked mine up directly to the lift rock shaft so I could get the down force. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 43,714 #6 Posted July 18, 2015 Down force is good if you have a paved driveway, but if you don't your driveway will end up in your yard! I use a chain from the trunion all the way to the plow with no solid link. I have a stone drive and use the dial a height adjustment to hold the plow about an inch above the surface to keep the stone movement at a minimum. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,917 #7 Posted July 18, 2015 Very true Mike. I would hold it up as well when doing my 800' stone drive. The downforce worked well on the concrete areas and also when I was moving dirt or stones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
