P1000 Free Plow Mounting

[hardlyworkin]

I scored a free used 72" Cycle Country snow plow and am trying to figure out to mount this thing. It doesn't have any mount with it just the plow and the push tubes. Anyone have any suggestions on a mount to buy or a way to fab one up?

This shouldn't be too hard,
Post a few dimensions please.
Center to center width of pin mounts. Pin diameter, hopefully a few people with plows can share their dimensions and get you setup.

Thanks for the suggestion! Pins are 1/2" and the distance between the pin holes is about 16". Push tubes are about 25" long if that matters.

if you have a stock bumper I would assume you could make a support that bolted to the front bumper with thick guage angle iron going down and attach the plow to the angle iron if that wont work go off of the lower bumper mount bolts on the side and make a bracket off of that

I'll snap a few pictures of my mount, should be easily replicated to fit your plow.

When I get some time I will look into this. Thanks!

Thanks! That should help a lot. The pics I googled didn't help much.

I called KFI and they said the width for the push tube flanges is 12.5" outside to outside which won't work for me without modifying the push tubes. Based on the mounting location, I don't think I will be able to use the push tubes without modifying them regardless of if I buy a mount or build one because that area is so narrow. Time to buy some metal and break out the plasma torch and the welder!

I had the same predicament on my 700. I had a free to me plow blade with push tubes that wouldn't work the way I wanted. I actually bought the honda snow plow mount for the 700 that actually came with the section to attach the rig, but also a piece to attach to the push tube. I made a bracket and bolted the piece onto the push tube. I figured a plow for $120 wasn't worth the effort to make it.

I may just go ahead and drop the $80 on the KFI mount and do a little cutting and welding to get the new mounting holes on the push tubes that will fit that mount. It shouldn't be very hard to take very long.

Here is the Tusk mount for my 72" blade.
