No more snow, progress is slow!
;)
Had a small window of free time today to get a little bit more done on the angle lock lever and its pivot point. I used a long bolt from a VW Passat or Jetta or A4 subframe bushing as the pivot bolt with some large washers to act as the pivot for the lever. I...
Personally, I would find some good seam seal and neatly apply it to the weld bead on that inside edge. Unless you have a very small grinding disc on a dremel tool....even then, I think its better to leave strength as opposed to grinding too much off. (ask me how I know!)
nice work

Love the way the motor is looking. That first picture, for some reason, reminds me of a mix between the USS Enterprise and a Steam Punk motor....but its too nice for steam punk.......

are those cam lobes pitted or just a bit dirty, or am I seeing reflections in the photos?
The finish on all the bolts and other pieces is fantastic!

Im only going to rotate the plow after it is raised and I have backed away from the snow pile. I cannot angle the plow while pushing. No hydraulics here!....
As I work through this I begin to see what will work best and what wont. Partially because of the complete collection of odd ball bits...
Okay, tell me what you think.....Heres my idea for the lever to operate the plow angle feature. (and the T handle for the angle release lever)
Take one broom handle and measure it out so that, mounted to the floor just in front of the seat, it can be pushed forward far enough to get enough...
Some parts are beginning to come in for the plow. These pillow blocks will act as a pivot point for the lever that will push and pull the plow to angle it.
The cable and T handle unit, which locks when turned, will act as the release for the locking lever that clicks into place at 3 slots in...
I think the amount of learning going on here is fantastic....just working with the material to see how it behaves will take you far.
I think you can benefit from allowing yourself to work with oversized panels if for no other reason that to have extra surface to clamp, tack weld or screw to...
