Finally got the chance to post some pics of my snow rig. Converted to 12V, rebuilt the engine, added power steering, and split the hydraulics through a stack valve. All with a lot of help from this site over the last three years. Hasn't let me down yet. It's definitely not the fasting snow plow on four wheels but it works well for what I need done. Thanks for everyone's help.

So if you fill that bucket up with wet snow, do you have a tendency to get light in the back. My 45 was that way even with fluid in back with just the loader and snow bucket. When I added a SC planter hitch to my 3 pt blade and added a diverter valve it help considerably but it works even better now with a home mad blade on the loader and an Oxnard SC blade on back.

| With the narrow front I try to never raise the bucket too high or move very far with a full load of snow. I really haven't noticed the rear end getting too light. I'm sure the blade helps and the tires do have fluid in them. |

looks like the same front hook-up that is on ours, I believe,correct me if i am wrong on this one, a David Bradley front lift? On ours, the lift arms look about 2 feet longer/higher. Might just be the picture?

| Had a loader just like that on my first WD, I was 33 years younger then. Yes it was slow but it beat a snow shovel, I don't think my back & shoulders could take much of that anymore, hitting the drifts, throwing the hand clutch, raising the loader, reaching for the lever to trip the bucket, letting it down then raising it a bit & reaching for the hand clutch again and all of that on the right side! I guess thats why I never missed that loader, think I even smiled when it went out the driveway...Harvey |

Harvey, YOU GOT THAT RIGHT! you got the raise lever up high on the right, the trip lever, banging on you right leg, the hand clutch, we know where that is, and the brakes!
The poor left side of the body has to try to turn the steering wheel! Narrow front with 7' blade, you got it! BETTER THAN A SHOVEL!

| Dave, my loader was a New Idea and I did forget about the sore knee, probably why I get the gout that ocasionally strikes that knee...Harvey |

Is that a cob bucket? I'm afraid in anything over 3" of snow you'd have your work cut out for you if pushing any distance.
