Last year plow setup worked ok, but a hydraulic setup would work much better.The old setup used a winch which has a little too much drift and you had to get off the machine to angle the plow (PITA).

My friend saw a 105 and asked if I was interested in going to look at it. When we went to see it, the people said it didn't run and there was a plow setting on the junk pile. they asked how much I would give and I said $100.00 for the tractor and the plow.They said ok get it out of here (they were going to scrap it).

I cleaned the plow and did a mock up to see how it would go together. here's the parts I used.

Next was to paint the parts.

After some trial and error, I found a place for the pump, control valve and reservoir tank.

Take it outside to see if it works.

Yup, works good. Moves ground and the power angle works great. Happy, happy, happy.
Only one problem, the cylinder for up and down is too slow on the float for plowing snow (ok for ground work). I put a smaller cylinder on it, now it's fine.

Let it snow, I'm ready.
