Front mount snow blade

[billkater]

Here are some pictures of my truck mounted snow plow I converted over to a FEL mounted one.

Now I need to get the wire wheel out. Clean it up and paint it blue.

Innovative approach with the top link to adjust the blade. Looks like you are using the curl function to angle the blade?

 

[billkater]

I thought that with the top link you could apply down preassure to the blade.

Yes, since I did not have any remotes I thought that the curl function would work just as well. Just have to hook hoses up correctly so pushing lever right makes it go right, and left moves left.

good job:thumbsup:

Nice job on your fabracation,compact,well thought out.You are rigid so you will have to "float" the FEL.I copied another's and let the plow float with pivot points and a chain lift.Yours should work well.
Let us know how well it works.

Very Nice and I like the design. I could not figure out the center link deal but after looking at the picture a little closer......COOL.

I am glad you like it.

Had to have a way to lift the front of blade. Thought a center link would be better than a chain since I could put some down pressure on the blade if needed. And easy to change the angle of attack if needed.

At first I did not notice the bucket roll cylinders were not attached.

 

[billkater]

Yes they are. Don't have any rear remotes so using the roll function as a power angle. Works well, and fast.

Thanks for posting this solution. I have a blade that I've been wanting to attach in place of my loader bucket, but I haven't taken time to figure out how yet. I may borrow your top link idea. I really like that.

I also like the power angle. I'd have to engineer it differently as I only have one cylinder for the curl function.
