lookin for some information from all you snow plow gurus out there. im looking at an older meyer classic tube mount plow with the e47 pump. its currently on a 92 f250 4x4. i was wondering if the mount and wireing harness would transfer over to my 88 250. so what yall think

 

yup. if it is not a direct bolt on, it will only require minor modifications to fit.

 

thats king of what i was thinking i may run up there and take a look at it

 

It won't directly bolt on, there were some changes to the frame horns when the body style changed from '91 to '92. Shouldn't be too many major changes though. Wiring harness should fit right in, but really they are pretty simple too. I wired one from scratch last winter, as I had no wiring harness, but had everything else.

 

as said above, the 92 + frame horns are boxed where yours are not, also youll have to pay attention to the headlight adapters, the 92 would have the 9007 headlight bulbs and your truck has the 9004's. they are the same plug just the wiring is different.

Oh and for the Meyer itself.... I wouldn't take one unless it was free or $100 or something. The 47 pumps are kind of garbage in my opinion. The 60 pumps aren't much better but are an improvement. If your just going to screw off and plow a driveway or two, then it will prolly suit you just fine. If you are going to do some real plowing, I would go for something different, I am a big fan of the Western plows (uni mounts are unstoppable)

All in all, if its cheap enough, and your okay with doing some fabricating then go for it.

 

i dont know about that, the E-47 pumps have been on my 79 and 88 trucks since new.
nothing done to them at all except for changing the oil every year before plow season starts.
the E-60 on my 02 is almost 20 years old also, and never had anything done to that either besides yearly oil change.

 

I've been happy with my e47. But, I've only been plowing for a year and I was glad I could find a plow that would just bolt on to my old truck. I almost bought a meyers but it was welded onto the guys frame. I said I wanted it and then thought it would be a project so I declined. There weren't many out there that weren't rusted or welded onto the truck.



I did have to re-wire a lot of it. Bought a generic 12volt solenoid. For the plow lights I made an adapter that plugs into the headlight plug. Unplug truck headlights, plug in plow head lights. I don't have a switch in the dash. When the plow goes on it stays on all winter so I don't need to switch the lights.

Paid $400 last year for the plow. Did put some time and money into cleanup and paint. New seals for the pump, new brushes, works fine.
