Yesterday afternoon. Darn thing actually went up and down without any messing with wiring. My darn machine shed is full of bee hives so I havnt got a place to store the blade out of the weather. I'm sure a hoping we don't get dumped on. Its a mile and a half to the highway, it takes 4 trips to get that 1.5 miles pushed off. Lucky I've only got 2 neighbors on this 1.5 miles. Grand kid works from 3:00 in the afternoon till 2;00 at night. Hoping I don't have to go rescue him too many times this winter. Dang, I forgot to get the old red pickup gassed up before I put the blade on it.

I have 2 Western Pro plows 8 1/2 ft blades off my 72-86 GM trucks , unsure of where I have the power units now and the mounting hardware for the trucks as someone cleaned up for the son and can't find a lot of things now .
Was thinking of making skid loader mounts for the blades and selling them that way .
Problem is sons skid loader plow design works better than these adapted blades as they mount closer to machine, and dont stick out a long ways in front of machines .
I have a 9' Boss plow on my pickup now and have used it for last 22 years - had to replace the blade once as back support on plow blade rusted out . last year had to replace the motor on the pump - but have 2 move Boss plows off other trucks that were sold so have a few spare parts .
Like the electric controller now better than the old Wester wobble stick cable control and that is better than the Old Wester T stick control .
