I did not know the 5 ton ps pump would bolt right on to a duece. I have not found a thread on that but that would probably work great. Might also be able to run some other small hydraulics off of it like a small winch (milemarker does that with smaller ps pumps.
Thanks Dodgeman
I will look into a 24v from scratch. Running 12v off one battery probably is not a good plan with such a high draw. Am also looking into an all hydraulic system using a system off an old Autocar dump/plow truck.

Lee, I went to 395/85/20's this spring. So far I have gone to super singles, power steering, heater, and solargize,r my justification is preparing the m35 for snow plow duty. By the time I get the plow on I could have bought an old grader!! But it...
RE: Re: RE: Snow plow recommendations
I have been using m37's for 7 years with 7 1/2-8 foot plows. They work fine till the snow gets to deep. I need something with more weight like the deuce. The trick is to size the plow right. Not to big but long enough to be wider than the wheels at full...
Tom, Your right about power steering. I have it on the m37 and just got an air-o-matic system to install on the m35. By the way do you ever see m621's or the Norweign tractors (swb) for sale? Lockers would be nice.
Keep in mind that with a multifuel engine and a winch, the front axle loads are way beyond what the Reo designers originally planned on. Not to say it can't handle it, but adding a plow to boot - might get interesting.

Matt,
Almost every non-commercial plow application overloads the...
The wings don't hold up well out here. There are to many boulders, narrow roadcuts, and trees.
You are probably right about staying away from the large highway plows but I already have a little 8 ft Meyers heavy duty on my M37. The M37 wasn't big enough for several snows last year. I only...

10ft is a bit puny for a truck the size of a duece. How about a real plow. Easy to find a used municipal snow plow in 11-12ft range.
Anything much bigger than 10-11 ft gets hard to manuver in a driveway and on narrow dirt roads with steep...
I tried a search but did not find much. Other than a stock deuce plow setup, has anyone found a relatively easy to mount civilian plow and mount combo that fits the M35a2 w/w? I am looking for about a 10 ft plow and hopefully the attachments to put it on the deuce with.
If I start now I will...
