New (to me) snowplow rig...

[linrick1]

Hey all, figured I'd give everybody a thrill and show off the snowplow I rigged up for our Ford 1900.......payed short dough for the blade, an old Fisher 7 1/2 footer, ran hydraulic lines from the scv down the loader arms to a couple of quick disconnects at the bucket, welded up a mounting bracket for the blade and voila - a power angle plow. Not terribly exciting I know, but after plowing with just a bucket for so long having the blade makes a huge difference.....now all I need is a cab. Happy Holidays, Rick

Looks like you are right on a lake there?

Nice job!!! Very simple and clean looking. Those are some monster hooks you have on the bucket also!!!

Thanks for the kind words Ductape and JDeere, it was kind of tricky rigging up the whole thing what with the power being out because of the ridiculous ice storm we just had and doing it in the middle of a 2 inch an hour snow storm...the bride was not too thrilled when I told her I had to disconnect the house power from the welder so I could weld up the bracket-talk about pressure....we made it though. Ductape, thats Watatic Pond you see in the background, nice,small pond, no powerboats or jetskis so its nice and quiet. We canoe from the stream on our property out to the pond, its mint. JDeere, the monster hooks you see on the bucket are the reciever hooks for our CTI fork setup, just roll the bucket out, move under the bar that connects the two fork tines, roll the bucket back so the hooks engage the bar and there you have it-bucket forks....Happy Holidays to you and yours, Rick
