Did the first flat spot go away when the second showed up? Probably 'moving flat spot' syndrome which requires purchase of an 1100.

I got the winch working and took the rig out for a test. Immediately I had problems. I put the blade in a snow bank which raised it... releasing the tension on that mass of winch cable and it bird-nested. Not knowing what I was doing, I attempted to raise or lower the blade, which jammed the...

With the winch and relay installed, I worked on the wiring connections some today. The wires from the winch go up the side of the radiator, in an existing channel. Then they come over the radiator and head for the relay. The relay. The connection for the in/out switch is the white...

Well, I hear you, but the 'over the top' direction is the factory original. The primary use for the winch will be raising the plow, but it will see some use as a winch I suppose. I don't really like the front bumper/frame thing on the RTV. Not thick enough for this old school mechanic/engineer...

One of our freezers is in a building that also houses the wood pellet supply for the pellet stove. Before the last big storm, I dug my way in and brought a couple of weeks supply of pellets onto the porch. Today, I dug the road out again and got goodies from the freezer as well as more pellets...

Too late to edit the above post. I found the answer, the wires are for converting the speedometer to kilometers. I will dig under the dash looking for a hot wire from the key switch I guess.

I have read several posts about being 'stuck' if/when the plow lift dies. If you are using an actuator or winch, or maybe even if using hydraulic, do this. Carry a good, heavy duty ratchet strap in the tool box. I am lifting my plow now with a cheap, too small one. A good heavy duty one would...

Would someone please remind me what the connection is that is taped to the harness, just to the left of the top of the washer tank? I read it here somewhere, but now I can't remember. I need a hot wire that is switched, according to the instructions for the winch.

It is right in front of the battery. I have no idea what that thing is. Today is the first time I have seen it. It is factory... something. Good idea I guess. LOL...

Sunshine today, temps in the 20s, so I decided to start the wiring. I routed the main 12 volt feed from the battery to up under the hood. I also covered the hot wire with the black cable protector stuff. I followed the water lines from the radiator back to the battery and tie-wrapped the cables...

The link I found for the tapered plow shows it but then says 'straight'. Sure wish vendors would actually look at what the kids they hire to make web sites actually do...

They do make a 72" tapered blade. I have circled the stop bolts. They limit the tilt angle of the blade.

I know what you mean. This winter is unusual because of so much snow that just keeps coming. We usually get melts between snows. I am glad I got the plow though. It gives me a backup for the tractor as well as working better to push snow. I did order a BXpanded blade for the tractor, but that...

Thanks guys. The winch is new, never used. I looked at some videos and it appears that the only way to know, unless someone has unspooled this exact winch, is to pull the cable off and look. I will probably get a synthetic rope later, but I don't have time now. I need to get this thing finished...

I have a New Old Stock 2500 pound pull Polaris winch that I am going to mount on the front of the RTV to lift the snow plow with. The winch looks just like a Warn winch, for reference. I need the power cables to be on the left side for convenience in wiring. I can mount the winch on the front...

This combination of equipment and sunshine and success made that possible. My poor BX24 on the other hand... I gave it water and dirt in the fuel and it is NOT happy. Sigh...

Thanks for the pulley pic! OMG, this thing is a snow pusher! I have never had a snow plow before this one. I moved my pickup that was in about 2 feet of snow and carefully attacked the snow. Wow, this thing just ate it up, and pushed it up into a pile, even without any lift capability on the...

The part number is 105570, I think it is shown under snow plow accessories.

It is a 2500 pound winch. The pulling bracket supplied is the 3 hole thing between the two front holes on the side plates, in front of those two big holes you mentioned. The bracket can be turned over or mounted farther up front. I am thinking about a pulley like you said. This is how the...

Snow Plow Success! I got the plow installed and tested. It works great. I did discover that following instructions is a good thing sometimes. I installed the stop bolts that set the blade tilt angle before installing the springs. The instructions say otherwise. I did it because it was 'easier'...
