Jeep Snow plow cylinders

[enterprisebbc]

I just got an old 6' Jeep snow plow that I will restore to fit on my CK35 QA. The mounting plate came todayfrom Titan but it wasnt the full plate so I'll talk to them tomorrow about getting the right one. Now, the cylinders have to be replaced. Anyone know where I can get replacements and how much they cost?

We'd need to know the plow brand.
Most angling cylinders are single action pairs and tend to be 16" long and quite common.(wider plows sometimes use 20" cylinders.)
The shorter ones usually are under $100 ea. Try E.Bay, or I once saw a plow web site that had all those goodies.
Crossover valves are also usually installed to protect the blade (hoses etc) from damage from striking curbs etc.
Were I were U, I'd consider straight fixed mounting as an angled blade will (when loaded) tend to shove your tractor sideways and be very frustrating.
Truck plowing generally is accomplished at higher speeds than with a tractor which helps overcome the side load effect.
Good luck, have fun.

Look up central parts warehouse, they sell nothing but plow stuff. Cylinders should be no problem finding replacements.

Yea the sideways thing is why I went with a 6' and I think I will take my chances on the crossover valve but you cant say I havent been warned. Cant thank you enough for the info E

I went to CPW and for the 1" pin hole 10" x1.5" they were at $67 for 1 plus $24 ship for $149 for 2. My local guy is $200 for 2 no tax, ship, and will kick in the fittings. I guess $200 or $40 more than CPW is ok and they are 3500PSI. I always shop but if they dont fit or somethingHe said I can take em back

Are the cylinder shafts junk? If not, I would check into having them rebuilt, might be cheaper than new.
