Meyer Snowplow adapted to QA?

[aczlan]

I really like 4 shorts set-up too. I like the shortening of the plow frame and I don't want to take anything away from his work except one little thing: I don't like the rams under the mounting plate. They look really close to the ground and succeptable to damage.

Well, I was going to put in a link to yours, but I found 4short's thread first, I like both of them.

And I stand by those comments. I have struck objects with the corner of my plow and they do have relief in them. You just never hit anything hard enough.

I'm leaning towards mounting one new ram above the frame and scrapping the two smaller ones that came with the plow. They both look like they have seen better days.

those cylinders are rebuildable for pennies but new they will be around 250 bucks. I have uesd a QA plow for over 8 years. On an L 3830 and now on a M5040.

Trust me on this one, your cylinders do not have relief built into them.

Cylinders for a Meyer plow are only about ~$50 a piece.

Where are you getting them for $50? Best I have seen is around $85 one Ebay. I have to replace both of them on a plow I picked up on CL for $80.
