Check out my other items!It’s that time again.Everyone is getting ready for another snow season. Winter will be here soon.Here are some tips to get your snow plow or spreader ready forwinter.
Snow plows:No matter what brand plow you have the mostimportant thing is to change hydraulic fluid. Since most people store theirplows outside the reservoirs tend to condensate thus accumulates water. Even ifyour plow is only one season old the oil should be changed. If your plow is fewyears old you should clean your filter as well and drain the oil from anglecylinders. Tip: Adding a 1 ounce of denatured alcohol will help reduce moisturein reservoir. Inspect all hoses for leaks and cracks. All electrical connectionsshould be taken apart and cleaned. Do not forget the connections under the hoodby the battery. If you have multi pin connections they should be cleaned andgreased with dielectric grease to prevent corrosion, please remember too muchgrease could worsen connection. If your plow uses lift chain, check for wornlinks. Trip springs tension. Center hinge bolt should be check for tightness.Check all metal parts for cracks. Very important on Western plows make surethat when you angle your plow right and left the a-frame stops should touch thestops on the quadrant. If you have .25” space an additional spacer could bewelded to eliminate gap. By doing that you will prevent your angle cylinders toover extend and possibly contaminate your system with debris from packing orbroken rod stop. If you have more than a .25” gap inspect a-frame center bolthole, it might be worn out too much. This might require you to replace a-frameand or quadrant as well. Tip: Some people weld additional thick plate toeliminate oval shape on center hole. Lubricate all moving parts. Remember tocarry extra parts with you when you plow. Suggested parts are: Motor relay(solenoid), trip spring and eye bolt, extra hoses, hitch pins, cotter pins,hydraulic oil.Spreaders:Well ,spreaders, especially hopper stylespreaders, aren’t easy to maintain. The first start up is always the mostdifficult, but it is very important to prepare your hopper spreader for summerstorage, but we want to help you to get your spreader ready for winter. First,if you have gas engine spray with lubricating oil e.g. WD40 throttle linkage,make sure that all levers are moving smoothly. Replace spark plug. Lubricateelectric starter. Tip: Since the upper end of the starter and bendix on manyengines is covered we recommend to drill (if possible) a small hole above toallow you to spray lubricant on to the bendix and armature shaft. Clean allelectrical connections. Clean connections at the external battery (if you haveone). Grease and inspect all bearings. Lubricate clutch bearing (do not sprayoil on pressure plate) Inspect conveyor chain, adjust tension if necessary Tip:to adjust measure about 24" from the rear edge of the hopper. Move up onthe chain with your hand. The conveyor chain should lift up 1"-3" offthe conveyor chain guide or cross braces. Inspect drive chains, belts. Changeoil in gear box. If you have electric motor clean and inspect brushes, theyshould move freely (most motors have access covers
