M939 adding a snow plow frame/hoist

[Jim832904]

Need any advice available on this. I have a plow and a frame hoist from an old town truck.Figured I'd keep the same height and attach it with some front frame extension. Want to control the hoist and angle from inside the cab so I'll need to find some valves.

I have heard of members adding a pto with winch controls and using those to control the plow. Post a pic when you get it mounted. I have seen one mounted but it was with big bracketing coming straight down from the bumper because the plow was not made for such a high frame bumper combo

If you have the plow mount (frame hoist).......you're almost there. If angling the plow isn't of issue, then a single acting lift cylinder and hydro pack would do the trick. I think you could make that happen for under $500.

Here's a post I submitted last fall:

Im working on putting a big highway plow on mine as well, i've got the hoist and everything. For the hydraulics I was going to use 24v directional control valves you can get them cheap on ebay. Just need to start working on the mount.
