I had fun outdoors in the cold and snow.
Got the replacement plow on the explorer. Wasn't bad, had to move two tabs on each side and weld them back on. Still need to transfer the back drag from the old one to the other one
Showing the different mounting ear widths.
Showing where it bolts on and cross member modified. I left the outer most tabs in place, moved the middle ones to the far outside and moved the inner ones 1.5" father out. The original plow setup was for a small pickup so mounting tabs were 19" apart. The replacement is for a full truch and mounting tabs 22 1/4" apart. Going from 7' to a 7.5' plow now. Little heavier
Showing it modified and plow mounted in
Plow on explorer, 7.5' full size plow, heavier
When I first hooked up hoses, the angle wasn't working, pump would come on for left angle but not move, pump wouldn't come on for right. It was working with the old plow. Thought maybe ice in the pistons seizing them up and maybe cable out of adjustment. So I pulled the cover off the lower compartment, in picture. So got the cover off and it was half filled with ice not letting the arm move. Cleaned out the ice and now works good.

Didn't seem like it would take that long but it always does with fabrication work.
Sounds like you were productive also Jay
