Retired Wrencher 5,764 #1 Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Hi every one some of you may remember the Springfield I am getting running for a friend He had this plow that went to it He ask me if I wanted it. I said YYEEAAAA. When I bought the Rat Commando it had these tabs welded on the axel so that is how I am mounting it. This for VERY LIGHT DUTY Plowing. Mostly light snow. So I think it will work I have everything now. the plow was over 50" so I cut it down to 40" Did not need that much and the lifting on the lever is the weak point= weight and 3/8" on the hanger then 1/2" to the plow with a reducer in the middle. So it is mocked up now just have to finish it this week. enjoy the pick`s and the ride. Fun project. Gary B..... Edited November 18, 2015 by T1257 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I have a new Pro model from Ariens and do not want to get it rusty @$2000.0. so that is why for the plow. Let that rust out.
