V-PLOW ASSEMBLY
V-Plow comes in three boxes right blade, left blade and push tube. You will need to buy a bottom mount
plate for your machine to mount this to if you do not have one installed already.
The blades come with wear bar installed on them and the rubber flap will be zip tied to the blade along with
the rubber flap bolt bag (BB2567). The push tube box will have all other hardware and components in it.
INSTALLATION
Open push tube box and remove other parts. The center support will be in a box by it’s self, all other
hardware and parts are in the parts box.
Remove blades from box do not install flaps at this time. Place right and left blades on ground upside down
and slide together. Now set the Center Support down in place. You will use item (4) 2718-400 Center skid to
slide up and through all the tubes connecting the blades to center support. (start with two 3/4"washers on
center skid post and then slid up and through) You may have to tap through with a rubber mallet. On top
use the remainder of the 3/4" washer and 1 – 3/16 hair pin clip. Flip blade on edge so wear bars are on
ground.
You can now install the rubber flaps with the hardware that was zip tie with flap. The carriage bolts will go
up through the blade and then through the flap with washer and nylock nut on top. NOTE: the center of the
flap will overlap each other this is to keep snow dust down even when angled. You may have extra carriage
bolts so just disregard those.
You can slide the push tube up in place and use item (15) Trip Pin (2713-204) to connect push tube to center
support down at the bottom. Place a 3/4" washer on each side one pin in through and use 2 – 3/16 lynch
pins to secure with one on each side.
Hook the blade springs item (11) to the upper part of the center support and then place the eye bolt on the
other end and then through the holes on the bracket on the push tube and secure with the 3/8 nylock nuts.
NOTE: there are three springs to hook up, the tension can be adjusted by tightening the with the nuts.
Place the manual adjusting tubes in place first with the larger of the tube going to the center support and
use the 5/8 x 2-1/2 hex bolt and nylock nut to secure. There are some 5/8 washers you can use to center the
tube in the bracket or to keep from rattling to much. Next slide the smaller adjust tube into the larger one
and secure the end with the large hole to the blade use the other 5/8 x 2-1/2 hex bolt and nylock nuts. You
may also use washers here to center tube in bracket. You will use to of the 3/8 wire loop pins in the
adjustment holes.
The 1/2 x 2 hex bolt and nut are trip stop bolt and toward the bottom of the center support there is a 1/2
Nut welded in and this bolt will go up from the bottom into this nut but place regular nut on bolt first and
then thread in to center support then adjust to get you correct blade pitch when blade is all the way in back
position and tighten jam nut to secure.
The back of the push tubes will pin up to your bottom mount with the remaining two 3/8 wire loop pins.
