i dug my plow out the other day. then today i took a wire wheel on grinder to it. went to the local hardware store and got a qrt of rustolem sunburst yellow and gloss black and a few brushes. this is how it looks now.

then next i need to clean and prep the salt spreader for use. it is a 6 bag unit and slides in to the hitch.

also i just got my new spicer 60 ujoints /2nd design tube seals/ and brand new spicer power lock posi for the front end. she will be pushin with all 4 tires this year.

If anybody has good detailed photos of the mounting of their plow, I'd sure like to see those!

Nice lookin' by the way SweetK30. I'd like to put a plow on the front of my dually.
 
I'll be putting the blade on the quad tomorrow night, along with giving the bobcat an oil change, replacing it's glow plugs, and replacing the blade on the snow bucket. Should be ready to handle most anything mother nature throws at me :D

Oh, just put a set of brand new tires on my daily driver to help with traction, no bald drag slicks for me this year!
 
I work at the Hospital. My main job this winter is to plow plow and plow some more. I finished painting our plow for the shop truck we have. I used the POR15. It turned out pretty nice. I think its going to hold up good to. I also have a john deere tractor with a snowblower for the sidewalks. And three track driven snowblowers. I hope we dont get as much snow as we did last year. (200 inches)
 
79 K10. 454, 350/203, 14 bolt ff and Dana 44 with 4.10's. 10" lift and 36" Buckshot radials. Meyer 7 1/2' plow.

I used to plow for myself but now I plow for the company I work for. This is the truck I plow with. We also have 11 other plows (7 1/2' to 9') and three backhoes, one loader, two skid steers. I normally wait until a few weeks before Thanksgiving before I start to hook them up and seeing what works. The best thing is I have no salt spreaders to worry about:rolleyes:
I can't imagine 200" of snow a year!!:eek1:

im thinking about it. i got this old crusty plow i kept off the parts truck i got my 1tons off of. i dont think its worth much and might put it on my truck for the hell of it.

at my work we have a plow i can use whenever. its a old bronco and needless to say i been working on that thing like everytime i have freetime at work. that thing is a pile
 
I've been wanting a plow truck ever since I got back to NYS in '02. Found a 79 dually 400/400/203 (60 and 70HD of course) with a plow, bed is trashed, front isn't much better, but guess it runs good for $1500. Tried to get ahold of the guy, and he never returns my calls. Don't have the money for it now anyways.....
