Big red now has a winch and adjustable angle plow for icefest!!

[CRAZY70MAN]

Has some scrap steel laying around, a few beers and some time today. Finished up the winch earlier in the week. I decided to attempt to make the plow adjustable angle without getting off the wheeler. Took some welding cutting, cutting back off and some more welding and beer but I was happy with the end result. http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo321/andyatc70/th_P6240001.jpg (http://s388.photobucket.com/albums/oo321/andyatc70/?action=view&current=P6240001.mp4) Added some new springs, 2 vertical steel rods to stack weights on as well. Works nice with the new winh and battery. Kept the old left side manual lift rod all in tact just in case. All ready for Icefest Raffa.....:naughty:

Where are you adding the weights?

[CRAZY70MAN]

Where are you adding the weights? On outer edges on top. I have 1/2 bar welded to plow sticking straight up you can see me grab them at the end of the video Gonna just slide some 10-20 lb ders' over them and use a plate and cotter key to hold em down. I have twin 50 lb.lb ders' i use over the rear. Gotta get those chains ordered...used Kisers last year.

No demonstration of the winch working?

[CRAZY70MAN]

No demonstration of the winch working? Hard to get a good view. I took that with my camera and the angle is hard to get? I will try and get a shot if it overhead tonight.....maybe duct tape my camera from the loft?? One man band.....I need go pro.........

I have a 46" blade on my BR, and haven't needed any weight added to the blade or machine, but thought about strapping a sandbag to the rear rack. The chains would be nice, but don't want to chew up my asphalt....
