Rockshaft from 560 and modified with additional shackle
Lift link from 300/400 Fast Hitch w/o Traction control
Cylinder from 230/240 (I think)
Added another two IH hydraulic valves (need two more levers).
Fisher snowplow parts.
Haven't tested it yet.


Need another lift link and cylinder,
 
Well, you can't win them all. There is at least one person on this forum who thinks I am committing tractor-cide.

Talked to one Alberta salvage dealer today who wants $500 for three aluminum levers, spacers, and linkages from a W-560. I guess he thinks we have no sense in MA or maybe even the states. He will wind up scrapping them eventually at that price. I told him he was nuts.

It's surprising that no dealer knows what a lift link from a 300/400 looks like. They all want to sell me one from a 450. Most of them are no good and a buyer is better off buying repro. No repro on the 400 link. I'll have to wait until Marty2374 gets a 300/400 and pick it up for $9.99
 
ONly thing I would question is the blade. Lot of snow blades just are not strong enought to push dirt.

Interesting idea with the rock shaft.

The plow is a Fisher with a trip edge. I have disabled the tripping function by installing two 3" inch pipes over the springs.

I mostly push compost. I wouldn't attempt to break ground with it. The float function of a snowplow can be achieved by removing the float bolts on the duckhead. A floating blade tends to rise up when building piles or turning them over.

Been thinking about installing a short boom to the four rockshaft bolt holes.
