Duramax7man7 506 #1 Posted January 27, 2017 Wanted to know how thick the steel is for the plow blade itself is? 12 gauge or thicker? I may have the opportunity to get some steel sheets to build one. Thanks. AC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,156 #2 Posted January 28, 2017 12g to 14g sounds about right. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankman 3,520 #4 Posted January 28, 2017 Could be 10 ga CRS. I'll take a look. Wow! 16 ga CRS. If I were to make one I would use 12 ha 316 SS. Years ago made 16 ga 316 SS mower decks. Painted WH red.

Duramax7man7 506 #6 Posted January 29, 2017 Yeah I like the idea of a slightly more durable plow... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forest Road 594 #7 Posted February 12, 2017 I got one off a gravely walk behind. Believe it's 1/4" rolled steel. Was so tall I had to cut at least 1/3 off top. Welded WH mount to it and never looked back. I doubt it'll ever bend. Wish I could say same for WH OE plows. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forest Road 594 #9 Posted February 13, 2017 Nada. They're at vacation home so i won't be able to get any photos. At quick glance you'd think it was factory. Recall it being rather easy. Think I made new tabs to weld on new plow. Haven't touched it since I bought loader. I do do know I cut enough off top of gravely plow to make a mid mount grader w remaining.

Tankman 3,520 #10 Posted February 13, 2017 The mid mount grader blade is 1/2" thick. Works great. Thinking of making a front mount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
