Any ideas on how to fix?.

I purchased a used Curtiss snow plow with the JDQA. It was used for a year on a JD 3320. Very similar to my 4105. When I went to Put it on the bottom pins on the JDQA don't quite fit in the holes of the FEL. One side I can get to drop in but the other is just ever so slightly off. I sandpapered the paint off and greased the pins but still won't go on. The plow is like new, no bends, damage, rust or anything. What do you all think would be the best way to fix it? Maybe tap one pin with a sledge? A grinder would do a number on the pin and would make a mess. If the pin could be removed and turned down a touch that would work but they are welded in. Help.

Adjust ever so slightly with a 16 pound sledge hammer and block of wood

I would also adjust it with a sledge hammmer, maybe a 10lb though. Are you sure the pins are welded on. On all of my attachments they are threaded with a nut on the other side. Of course I don't have any experience with snow plows.

Yeah, welded on. I just checked. I'm also thinking because the way the plow is balanced (heavy forward weight) it doesn't attach as "forgiving" as the bucket or forks do.

RoMad, you don't need a plow down there in Lecanto? :sunrise::fiery:

Thanks. If there aren't any other suggestions I will give it the sledgehammer route. I will be sure to report back. I am sure I am not the only one who has had this happen. There isn't much room for error with those pins.
