Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see[/quote] Here is a page from the Ford parts manual showing the snow plow/dozer frame developed for the NAA. The subframe is part number 1 which simply bolts to the bottom of the front axle bolster in the front and attaches in the rear using the tapped holes in the underside of the transmission case. It should be easy to fabricate something similar from some rectangular tube and angle if you can weld even modestly well. Your plow will have lift arms similar to the ones on part number 2 in the picture. Weld some brackets to your sub-frame for attaching the plow arms to the subframe using a couple pins just like it attached to a frame on a plow truck All that's left is to weld a vertical member to the front of the sub-frame for attaching your hydraulic lift cylinder. Enough rectangular tube and angle to make the sub-frame should run you about $100-$150. To fabricate the sub-frame drill some mounting holes in two short lengths of angle and mount them to the underside of the tractor using the attachement points i just desribed. Clamp the two longitudinal tube frame members to the angle brackets and securely tack weld them on the tractor after getting them properly aligned. Then remove the tacked together assembly from the tractor and finish the rest of the welding on the shop floor. TOH [Reply]   [No Email]
