Going tomorrow to pick up my new (to me) barely used snow plow!! Like I'll be using it much for snow here in the foothills of NC! LOL! I found a Cycle Country snow plow and frame at a local trading post/junk hole/treasure chest today and struck a deal. When I get it adapted to my 410, it'll be mid-mounted, winch operated and 5, that's FIVE feet wide!!! LOL! Definitely adding duals and weight! This sucker costs over $600 bucks new. I paid...........$175!! Photos ASAP  ------------- Insanity is relative. All of my relatives are crazy! |

| Just don't do as I did=forgot to tighten the shoes back down after I scraped the asphalt drive before I plowed a path to my storage building last winter. Wife was not happy. (Seems like weeds grew where I had scraped all the grass off during the winter) |

LOL! I shouldn't be in the yard for anything! Sounds like a fun time that day! LOL! That reminds me, I'm considering putting some type of wheel on mine since I have gravel drive. Anybody ever do that? ------------- Insanity is relative. All of my relatives are crazy! |

| the type of blade you have probably has adjustable shoes like mine. Work well if adjusted to hold the blade above the gravel - AND tighten them enough to hold the position. Sold a smaller blade to my neighbor with same shoes and seems to work well on his gravel drive. |

Mine are adjustable. Doesn't have the tightening nut. it uses washers and a pin. Its missing one so I have to get a replacement but was curious about the wheel thing. ------------- Insanity is relative. All of my relatives are crazy! |

| That,s agood price for a blade like that. I wouldn't know why a wheel wouldn't work. Might have to do a little re-engineerin. |

I now have blade somewhat mounted. A few more tweaks and then testing. uploads/13028/410_blade_mounted.jpg" rel="nofollow - 410_blade_mounted.jpg uploads/13028/410_blade_under.jpg" rel="nofollow - 410_blade_under.jpg ------------- Insanity is relative. All of my relatives are crazy! |

So, I called K#####, spoke with someone about what I'm doing, told them I needed the parts to work the winch on the blade. They said, you need this part#, blah blah blah. That should do it. Get the part, it's a switch..........nobody mentioned that control box, very vital part.......apparently. So that's now ordered. Waiting.......... ------------- Insanity is relative.

Thanks! My son said this is what happens when a welder has scrap metal, free time and a brain fart!! Got some Rigid lights from a wreck on there now. Needs the wiring and switch and I'll have lights. ------------- Insanity is relative. All of my relatives are crazy! |
