I was wondering if anyone could tell me where the factory plow frame attached to the RTV 500?


I pulled my American Eagle plow frame off for some summer off road play and I noticed the front plate on my RTV is slightly bent...it's not terrible but it's there...I'm wondering if the factory plow ties into other sections of the frame also or just the front like the American Eagle setup????


The American Eagle bolts into the 4 factory holes under the winch cavity and also have 4 bolts that go up through the bottom of that same plate

Don't know about OEM, but just installed a complete Warn ProVantage System & it uses 2 brackets mounted to the lower 4 front facing holes & 2 top holes in either side of the winch compartment. Seems yours uses the 4 front but may not use the top holes?

PS: In installing the plow I discovered my RTV500 leans slightly to the left - so when the plow's full weight touches the ground the right side is still 3/4" above the ground. Probably my large self sitting on that side has caused some sagging - but is there any way to adjust ride height left to right?

It uses 4 holes along the bottom edge along with the front holes, I think either way will have about the same workload.:thumbsup:
