42” Snow Plow/Dozer Blade

Skid Shoes

Alternate holes are provided to permit adjustment of the shoe assemblies for raising and lowering the blade to various working heights (see figure 11). When cleaning snow from gravel or earth drives or walks the shoe assemblies should be lowered fully to prevent blade contact with gravel or ground. When cleaning smooth hard surfaces, like concrete, the shoe assemblies are normally placed fully up to allow the blade to scrape the surface.

To adjust the skid, raise the blade off the ground and block with a piece of wood. Loosen the capscrews (A, figure 11) and move the skid shoes (6) up or down to desired height. Tighten the capscrews securely.

Blade Angle

To adjust the angle of the blade, proceed as follows:

1.Lift the blade off the ground using the tractor lift lever.

2.Remove the pivot pin (H, figure 1 and E, figure i), move the blade to desired angle and reinstall the pivot pin in a diierent hole.

Spring Tension

This snow plow/dozer blade is spring loaded so that when the blade strikes a solid object, the springs will allow the blade to release as shown in figure 12 rather than cause damage. The blade will go back to original position after object is cleared.

To adjust spring tension, hold rear nut (A, figure 12) and loosen front nut (B). Tighten rear nut (B) to increase spring tension or loosen nut to decrease spring tension. Tighten front nut (8) so the two nuts are drawn firmly together.
