It covers frame cutting, mounting plate work, hydraulic cylinder plumbing, and fittings, ending with the plow mocked up and about to be tested. Best for owners considering a similar homemade build.
Posted by the Adam J channel, an owner documenting his own tractor project rather than a dealer or manufacturer.
His tractor was not heavy enough to push the scraper blade forward without spinning once snow built up, so he had to back up constantly, which was a pain since he has about 250 feet of driveway.
He bought a used seven-foot Western truck snow plow off Craigslist, then cut down the frame and blade size to fit his smaller tractor.
He ordered a kit with two 10-inch stroke cylinders made for snow plows, which cost about 120 dollars and came with fittings.
The cylinders used 3/8 lines with a quarter inch inlet, but his tractor couplers were half inch, so he used an adapter to jump up the size.
