Plow I have is a "SnoWay" blade.Hyd. unit has "John Barnes Corp." from Rockford Ill.

 

I'm going back to the guy I got it from tomorrow and hopefully he'll help me out a little more.But he's almost 80 years old so....

 

General questions I have are about controls,seems I don't have any right now.The plow is an hour away at another borad member's place.I barely looked it over before dropping it off.We were both in a rush to get going.

 

Where do they mount(controls)?Any help from experience is greatly appreciated.Hopefully I'm wrong and the control is a little shifter that I just didn't see.

 

Higher lights?Add wiring or cut and paste some factory connectors so I can plug my headlight harness into the high mounts when needed?

 

I'm going to be using a Hatchback for this knuckleheaded project.Just have to try it.The plow rig is made to fit EA82 cars also.So says the dealer I got it from.He says he had it on a sedan,Loyale style up to a few years ago.I also have a beater 3door that I could make useable for this if it's better suited.

 

Anything else to consider?

Paul, I will try to locate for you the info you require.. .. Email me or post if you get the info you need in the meantime...... I will work on it ....... If all goes well maybe I will end up with one also... Joe

and in a few months time, I search to find myself, and bump for the long term.

Sorry, newbie here. What is the reason for bumps?

It's usually what happens when you get hit by something

 

MOOOOO

yeah, yeah. I meant with reference to the posts.

that is when someone brings up a topic that has fallen off the radar

Ok, i think i understand. thanks

Well that makes one of us.....personally I don't see why this re-surfaced.It's May,the grass is green and my plow sits at Wagon78's place.....but go ahead and talk it up as long as there's some sense being made.

 

I now find myself with a decent plow vehicle,or two,or three...so come next fall I'll be hot on this again.Right now I could care less.

 

Hint-it's a good time to make me an offer on the plow.....

91loyale..."bump" is a dance from the "70's" when 2 or more people bump there hips together to the beat of the music.

I'm glad this got bumped. I was just talking to someone about these the other day. Anyone have info on the plows that were offerd on "new" subarus back then? Was this just a limited dealership deal? How rare are they? What do they go for if you do find one?

 

Thx

I did a little research last night on the info Paul included in an earlier post. The plow is made by Snowway. They're still in business and make a fine (albeit expensive) product. They make a 5'9' plow (and larger) that would fit a subbie. The name on the pump used to lift it is from a hydraulics manufacturing company with a faction in Rockford, IL. They're still in business, but it appears they have moved on to bigger and better things. Last winter I also looked into Blizzard plows, and they make a smaller one that will work on a subbie, too. Just some options, if you're interested.

THanks for the info. I was hoping there was a Fuji Heavy Ind. snow plow
