snow plow question?

[blackhueys]

Anyone know if a plow off of a 79 Chevy pick up would fit on my m1009? Found a good deal on one complete setup but want to see if it would fit first. Not looking to have to buy anything else. It comes with the truck which is junk I just want the plow setup off the truck. here is a picture of the truck.

Yes it will fit you will have to draw the power for the pump from the 12 volt side of the battery or it will fry your pump I just bought a 1009 from the gsa Im thinking of doing the same thing it helps to add another leaf on the front springs.

Ok good to hear. I figured it would but wanted to ask first. It would be a good deal for me as the owner is only asking 1400 for the truck with plow beats buying new even if I would have fix a hose or seal. Plus I can part the truck out and maybe make some money back.

Man, that's a DEAL! Even if the pump is shot, that's a deal!

You can probably get at least $200 for the truck as scrap, after you pull off the plow.


I'd love to come across one like that myself...

That's what I thought! Think I will call the guy tomorrow and go take a look only about 20 minutes from me might be longer depending on how the weather is supposed to be turning crappy tonight and tomorrow.

Another question for you all, do you think the front springs can handle the weight I know that they are pretty robust already but want to make sure. If I need to upgrade what do you suggest for an upgrade? I would wait till warmer weather so might only plow a few months without upgraded springs. I am only going to be doing 2 or 3 small drive ways total of maybe a city block long in total.

Is it a complete hydraulic setup or is it electric hydraulic? What size plow? Mine is an 8' and the m1008 handles it just fine. Add about 750lbs to the back and it is a tank!

I have a 9ft blade on my 1008 and its fine with the weight.
