elcamino/wheelhorse 9,030 #1 Posted September 3, 2016 Can some one give me the measurement of the triangle do hickey on a 42 inch snow plow. All I need is the approximate sizes of all sides and the measurement of the top hole from the top of the triangle. I can not find the original , I know it was in the box of parts when I started working on the plow but it has grown feet and moved to a hidden location and I am tired of looking for it.

Racinbob 10,271 #2 Posted September 3, 2016 Here you go Jim. The plate is 3/16" thick. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,030 #3 Posted September 3, 2016 Thanks that just what I needed . Now to find the piece of metal I found to make it. My shop is so full I have to back out the door to turn around. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,848 #4 Posted September 3, 2016 Maybe when your looking for a piece of metal you'll find one that's already cut to size with the holes drilled into it! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,030 #5 Posted September 3, 2016 HA HA , It was in the box with the other parts and the box is empty. At least I did not go running around the Big Show screaming "Where is that guy?". 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougC 2,641 #6 Posted September 3, 2016 Jim, That would be just what my father-in-law would have glommed on to when he would come over when I was at work to borrow something...... I would have gone nuts looking for it only to find out he had turned it into a boot scraper by his back door the next time I went over to his house. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,030 #7 Posted September 3, 2016 I could blame the missing part on the dog , but he is too lazy . He only moves from one spot to lay down to another spot that maybe more comfortable. Maybe the squirrels took it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,229 #8 Posted September 4, 2016 Maybe you never got it from Squonk, because he could not find you at the show. Maybe you left it on the bench at the motel. Too funny Jim. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walt 339 #16 Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) I have a 42" blade in garage and don't recall any triangle shaped do hickey on mine what is it for? Edited September 10, 2016 by Walt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,030 #17 Posted September 10, 2016 @Walt It is part of the mechanism used to move the blade from left to right or to center. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walt 339 #18 Posted September 11, 2016 AH ya I remember that piece now. There isn't really that many parts to them. And it has been months since I worked with mine mounting it for first time to be sure I could use this winter. Mine was given to me last fall by a neighbor who got it for 20.00 at an auction. He got everything but the quick attach that mounts on rear axle. And thank you Jim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
98layinframe 22 #19 Posted November 24, 2016 I love this forum! it takes awhile to find stuff, but eventually find it! Anyways, I'm missing this exact triangle piece.. my question is on the drawing are the 4" and 5" measurements the outer corners of the piece itself, or the center to center measurements of the holes themselves? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,271 #20 Posted November 24, 2016 It's the overall measurement of the plate. The 5" is between the lines. It does look like I was showing the c/c of the holes but that wasn't the intent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
98layinframe 22 #21 Posted November 24, 2016 Ok thanks for the quick response, any chance you would know the center to center measurements and hole sizes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,271 #22 Posted November 24, 2016 The larger hole is 1/2" in from the edges to center. The two smaller are 1/4" in to center. Size them according to the rod size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
