Will this hold up?  Better or worse than original?  Should I reinforce it?  Let me have it.... Attached Images
Reply:I don't recognise the mount, so I can't really comment on how much better it is compared to the original. To me it looks short compared to the A frames on out Fisher's or Meyers mounts, or the A frames for our big plows.One thing I have found over the years is that you have to be carefull not to over strengthen some parts, A frames being one. It's much better that they bend than to have other hard to fix things get F'd up. (usually the blades, pistons, frame mounts, etc.).No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! Ronald Reagan
Reply:It's a Blizzard 810 pushed by an F350 with a sander.  It broke doing frozen slush.  It may have been weakened beore though it was two seasons old and was never inspected.  I understand about over building this component.  It was like a fuse and nothing else had damage (that I can see so far)
Reply:I knew it was a blizzard, they all do that.  Thats why I bought a western wideout.I would fish plate the joint where the angle comes down from the pivot to the push cross tube.  As it broke there already once.  It probably will do it again.    www.jerres.com  He is the formost blizzard power plow expert.Lincoln 300 Vantage 2008300 Commander 1999SA250 1999SA200 1968Miller Syncrowave 200XMT350MPA/S-52E/xr-15Xtreme 12vs Millermatic 251 w/30A  Millermatic 251 Dialarc 250 Hypertherm 1250 GEKA & Bantom Ironwokers
