Hi Artisan
I put a bunch of build pictures in my profile (under albums, hit the "more" button) vs. posting in this thread (you were looking for a few extra pictures, I failed to post them in this thread).
Without your help, I might not of done this project......thanks again!!! Stunning "driveway" /scenery by the way. My wife still can't understand why I put all the time, $$ into putting a plow on the truck.......but in here, I'm right at home. When I'm out there on business next year...
Hi Colin
Welcome to the site.
I just replied to your PM. There is a "tire guy" in Marshfield WI (Rodney)......he is absolutely the best guy I've found for our hobby. I purchased a 16R20XZL on a combat rim, delivered to my place in WI.....for a great price (tire is 95%, currently using as...
Here are a few pics of the plow in action (need to wait for frozen ground or go with rubber tires) and a print of the caster wheel drawing for autoshopteacher.
3/4 mile long driveway (big snow drifts that laugh at snow fences). Between a Bobcat, Yukon with a Meyer plow on it....and a John Deere with a blower on it......this completes our arsenal for winter weather battle.
The plow is a quick disconnect (drop the lift cable, pull a handle and she's...
****......I was literally in your neighborhood a week ago (saw some clients in Bozeman and Gardiner).....and went hunting just north of that mega church in Gardiner (could see it to the south from our perch up on one of the mountains). And I'm coming back for "chico's"......best dinner/swim...
I ended up not needing the Northern valve as I did a hybrid system. The trucks hydraulic valves are open at neutral, so to apply to a dump cylinder, you would need to swap out the valve (or add to) a closed valve at neutral (and I wasn't to sure how to do this with out $$$$ in the process)...
Three months later, and the plow is on the truck. I ended up using the M925's winch hydraulics for the plow's left/right tilt cylinders (they're 5" monsters) and a 24v Haldex power pack for the lift cylinder. It was a fun and challenging project. Thanks to the members who posted their plow...
As a "junkologist" wantabe.........I'm plan on doing this project with the M925 winch hydraulics. I've spent a couple hours looking though the technical manuals and can't seem to find much about the hydraulic valve body on the pump.
From what I can tell the valve is an open system at...
After e-mailing S.S. member "autoshopteacher", who provided invaluable advice on a snow plow for the 5 ton, it became "necessary" to start this project for the 925 (aren't they all "necessary"...?).
Picked this plow up at an auction I won this week (11 foot, 2000Lb's, lots of rust....waiting...
