Snow Plow Angle Mechanism
 

I have attached some pics of a snowplow angle mechanism that I saw on a Simplicty lawn tractor. Most impressive parts of the mechanism are the following:

1.) when the operator pushes forward on the angle rod the angle lock mechanism temporarily unlocks; and

2.) when the angle rod is rotated, the plow angle rotates.

This is all accomplished with manual mechanical method (no electrics nor hydraulics used).

Does anybody have any experience with this type of angle mechanism?

I was have trouble editing. Instead, a 2nd posting on same subject.

I have attached a parts schematic (as one more pic) obtained from Jack's Small Engines. See: https://az417944.vo.msecnd.net/diagr...de/diagram.gif

I was hoping to fabricate a similar setup for the snow plows on my CC100 and CC122.

The problem is that IH built Push Blades have a "pull up" pin that needs to be lifted to angle the blade.

Good point!! Which means I would be probably better off finding a Simplicity plow blade and mating it to my NF CCs. Clearly this project is going to take time.

I’ve started working on an angle mechanism for my blade. So far, I figured out how to convert the vertical pin to a sideways pull setup that will be actuated by a bike brake cable or choke cable.

I almost have it done. The lock pin release works well. The pipe needs an offset to connect to the rod end and clear the front tire.

Looks good !

Nice work!

Thanks guys! Finished the release mechanism. The cable will get shortened after I finish the angling pipe.

The angle setup works great. Finished it up today.

You do nice work.

Some nice work there, Adam. Let us know how it works out after pushing a snow or two.

Thanks guys.

I’ll let you know how it works out whenever we get enough snow to put it to use.

Just letting you guys know that I didn’t get to use the blade this past winter since we didn’t get any snowfall over 2”. Maybe next year.
