Finally got around to mounting my plow on the deuce. Here are some pics.

thx!

OK I'm officially jealous of a snow plow.. very cool

The plow came off a 68 international loadstar 1700 4x4. It was an ex city truck. It is 9ft wide and very heavy duty. It basically consists of four parts; the plow, the part the plow hangs from and the two mounts I fabbed up to attach it to the deuce.

It does not stick at as bad as we thought it would, looks good, now you can fix the ruts I made in your yard with the 920!

I like the mount. I may do this eventually as well. Great idea using the shackle mounts.

that looks great! my M35A2 has a winch, so i often think of all the weight that the plow would add. another member on here has a plow on his and it works great for him. I would love to put a plow on mine but i allready have a plow on my jeep, so i probably wont put one on. I'll put tire chains on it instead and if i get my jeep stuck this winter, ill pull it out with that. I like how you used the factory tow hook mounts to mount the blade. I was thinkin about doing the same thing and mounting another set under the bumper. if i was going to mount a plow. Did you put power steering on yours? Looks very very good, you should post a video of it in action!

Very nice job .Ilike the shackle mount idea...do you have pics of what stays on the truck when the plow is not in use?

Thanks for posting!

We built one on a truck a while ago that pins on, picture follows, I hope. JT

Your snow plow is bigger than my snow plow. I like it !

I am not sure what dave is doing, probable plowing the whole block so I will answer a little for him. The entire setup in held in place by 6 bolts and nothing is left on the truck when it is time to put it away. No power steering but I am sure we will be working on that before next winter.

Thanks Eldgen, the third pics kind of shows what stays on the truck. I can remove everything but that via 1" pins. That bracket can then be removed with 8 5/8ths bolts. Prolly take me like 1/2hour to remove/install. The bracket is right about axle height so I will remove it in the spring but the deuce should function pretty well with on. I'll upload a video later this afternoon.

Nice job ranchhand!I guess you'll have hands full this winter.I just completed a cross state tour from Anacortes to Colville and back in my deuce to see how it would do for wintertime driving.Did well.I think I need a deuce for the east side of the state though,with a plow.Look's like we might have a winter like we did a coulpe of years ago .

Where do you hide your truck? I have not seen another deuce around town except for the one plowing the shopping center at Shadle and whatever is parked at Army Dave's. Next time is snows like yesterday you might have to drive out to my place, haha.

We actually had a county snowplow drive down our road. That was a first, they usually come by during the spring thaw.

I live just south of hatch road off 195. Sorry there's no video yet as I can't get it to upload Anyone else have problems uploading vids taken with a droid?
