so got it mounted on the old cab for now. got the rear axle locked and weighted. had fun playing with the plow to :D We did get some snow last night but right now isnt a great time to go out and play with it because i dot have enough weight and the snow is melting and its mucky under it...

Video of me playing with the new plow :D thx Freddy!

Re: Mr. Plow
 
lol I need to lift the plow up a notch. that or beef up my front suspension some. it is dragging a bit. there is no such thing as smooth pavement around these parts :D

Also I remembered i gotta pack all them wheels right tight and glue them up. some were spinning on the rims.



Also i got a lead on a knight hauler with a box trailer and the MFU and everything upgraded for 1500$... tempting.. very tempting...

Re: Mr. Plow
 
ah $1500 is a bit outta my budget atm lol. I got a new toy in the works to.


Today I got out to Mog's place for the first time in MONTHS and we got the deck mounted, the plow mounted higher up and with bigger screws and the 5th wheel on.

Well since my truck is going on a holiday this weekend possibly I needed to beef it up. bye bye re-treads! hello Fulda!!
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...w/IMG_3156.jpg

Poor spare drive axle got robbed of the brand new fuldas :D
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...w/IMG_3157.jpg
And they look AWESOME!
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...w/IMG_3159.jpg

Made some clearance. Cant be draggin that battery so low anymore
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...w/IMG_3158.jpg

And GLUED the rear tires finally! sick and tired of wheel on tire slip!
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...w/IMG_3160.jpg

And its been too long since i last glued a tire and well i got more of it on my hands then I did on one tire lol. I was in the process of gluing the back set of duals that are weighted and it popped off a bit and BB's everywhere! and then glue all over my hand and table... blah!!
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...w/IMG_3161.jpg

Other things I did was fix the servo horn for the left/right operation of the plow. the ball joint was slightly worn out on the threads and it came loose. just changed it out and put a 2mm nut behind it and glued it on so it cant back off by itself. Another thing i might have to fix is the part that holds the plow at the very tip. Last time out plowing i hit a hard spot i guess and it folded the blade ahead. Might have to get some metal link ends to change out the plastic ones.

I was gonna do that today here at work. was going to "plow the scale off" but then the city "waste" truck from the waste water management plant came out... and it dripped "tillings" all over the scale... so gotta figure out something else to try....
