1872 w/ 54” power angle plow lift rod

[whaler12]

Appreciate the reply’s attaching some photos. I’m not sure what model plow it is since I bought the plow used. In the first photos I thought I’d catch a break and be able to use the lift rod off my 450 snow blower since it has a curve and is adjustable but it binds on the axle and the blade won’t move up or down. Is it possible I’m missing a bracket somewhere?

Also not sure why the pictures come through upside down....

If you’re taking with phone hold it horizontal with the home button on the right and problem solved

You can put a 54 Cub Cadet blade on but you will tear it up your super has too much power.The Haben blade has a subframe to the rear for support.

I have found that to fix this, I go into the picture adjustments, and flip the picture completely so it is right side up again, then it posts correctly. At least on an iPhone, I don't know if other types of phones will work the same.

An 1872 is just a bigger version of an 1811, i highly doubt the plow will fair any worse on the 1872 then it would on an 1811.

Looks like I was right.
An SGT doesn't have any more power than a GT does.

You can't lift that blade with the stock set up. The SGT lift mechanism works backwards from the GT lift. Easiest way would be to change the lift mechanism on the blade and make a rod. You're on your own on this one. Otherwise sell that blade and find a Haban blade.

Edit: You might be able to turn the lift bracket over, then run the lift rod under the axle. Make sure to leave room for axle oscillation. By the way, who modified the blade sub frame to fit the SGT frame?

I agree on that point but the 1872 is 200lbs heavier.

I agree with Jonathan, I would sell that blade and find a Haban. Your tractor and my 982 are set up to push the blade up rather than pull it up. When I got mine the lift rod was missing and I had to make one. I used a flat bar 1/2 X 2" because it has to be pretty stout to push the blade up without flexing.

Not to muddy the waters but my blade was a 2 spring IH 54" blade with power angle added at some point. The undercarriage was all bent up and the angle cylinder mount was broke off at some point and cobbled back together by the gob weld technique. I looked at my friends 1872 with a 4 spring 54" blade (quite possibly a Haban) and built a undercarriage similar to his to work with this blade. I think the original blade mount where it depends on the 2 small pins to take all the push load is a joke. That is why I made up the side plates mounting with two 1/2" bolts per side and extended the undercarriage to mount up with the 3/4" shaft at the rear. The same 3/4" shaft I use with my 54" snow blower and the Haban 60" mower deck.
