Snow Attachments JD 54 snow plow bracket

Well I ground out what was left, and it still didn’t offer me enough clearance to trip 90*. Maybe 70...maybe? So, hopefully that will be enough. Have to wait and see when we get some significant snowfall here. Was in the 60’s this wknd, So I was able to get a ton of stuff done, but I’m sure ole momma nature will let us know that winter is far from over very soon! Good luck with your snow!

When I checked, I see that the brace across the bottom of the blade does hit the bracket to limit forward tilt. I hope the first three pictures show that. The last picture shows the hydraulic fittings on the front of the index cylinder. If the temp outside and the hydraulic fluid temp are just right, snow packs in the cavity ahead of the piston and turns to ice and the fitting bends as it gets pushed into the ice and then breaks. You can do lots of plowing without trouble and then it happens. Just something to watch.

Sorry for the double pictures.

Thanks Sno! It’s funny you mentioned that, because I watched a video not long ago and the guy demonstrating his plow had mentioned that and to to also clear the snow out from that area to avoid ice build up. Good to keep in mind while pushing around that white stuff!
