Snow 54 quick hitch blade

[beenthere]

Yup, we see them.. Maybe some phone guru's will chime in.. I'm not one of them by a long shot.

I can get my wife to (sometimes) send her phone pics to my email and then have them available on my computer (save them to a folder in .jpg format).
But think other formats work on TBN too.

I plug my phone into my laptop using a USB cord. Then the computer treats the phone just like an external drive. Very easy to pull the pics out of the phone and save them on the computer. Much easier to manage them and attach them here. Remember to size them out of courtesy. Anything over 1MB takes forever to open for some members with slow connection.

If you get your pics on your computer I'll show you an easier way to load them than "manage attachments".

If there's going to be a picture attaching tutorial in this thread I want in.

Can anyone answer me this.. The ends that are bent inward, are they making contact with the quick hitch or are they to simply help guid the support piece into the hitch? Wondering if they serve a purpose...and also wondering where all the pushing pressure is centralized?

 

[ovrszd]

They simply guide the installation process.

The pushing pressure is on the pins.

Do you have the lift attachment on your tractor?

Morning. Been feeling under the weather boys and girls, so the fab is on hold... Wife was sick, then daughter, and I致e been fighting something for a while now, thought I was gonna pull through unscathed, but i think it finally overcame my defense system. Anyway, between that and the fact that we picked up @ 3-4 of snow last night, I知 limping along with this project. Thanks for the info ovrszd. Wanted to make sure the bent ends, up against the hitch, weren稚 the force behind the all the pushing. I have not installed the lift attachment yet. Only the mounting bracket. Still have the loader on her. One last question if I may, that pivot pin, is it sloppy in there or pretty tight. I知 sure there痴 a little wiggle room, but I have a .750 gauge pin and it seems to be a bit to loose. I also have an .812 thats just a tad to big. So I知 wondering if it痴 somewhere in the middle of those two or is it a 3/4 diameter and sloppy..?

 

[ovrszd]

I assume you mean the bottom pin that attaches the bracket to the moldboard? It measures 3/4", fits loosely in the hole. It's the pin that the moldboard pivots on if it trips.

 

[TractorHound2]

Yes! You would assume correctly. Surprised it痴 that loose..guess I could always turn something down or just use a3/4 rod, readily available at that size! Thank you.

 

[ovrszd]

Are you going to allow the moldboard to trip?

If so, you need a bit of wiggle room so there's no binding.

without taking mine apart to measure, I'll guess the holes are 25/32".

 

[TractorHound2]

Oh yeah. I definitely want the plow to be able to trip, so I Had planned to leave some wiggle room in There. I have a 25/32 (.781) plug I made at work to see how well that fits. I was curious and just thought the .750 gauge went through that pivot hole way to easy. Kind of like throwing a hot dog down a hallway... when I get home, I値l check the hole with that plug I made and immediately after, go lay down. Wife says she wants a workout and will shovel the driveway. Have at it hon!! I値l be napping/healing. Ha!
