New guy with 184 front plow questions
Posted: Fri Nov 25, 2011 9:37 pm
Hello all. This summer I bought a (late 70's?) IH 184 for use here on our farmstead. At the time, I didn't even know that I was looking for a tractor, but when I seen it, I had to have it. You know how that goes.
Any how, it's in pretty decent shape (not a show queen by any means, but just a good old working tractor) The tractor came equiped with mid hydraulic lift, 3pt hitch, independent rear braking, 3-speed tranny with selectable creeper hi/lo gear. And it came with a few attachments also. A 3pt. drawbar, 6' 3pt. back blade, 5' 3pt. yorkrake/yardrake, 3pt. forks, a 3pt. Woods rear mower, a front snow plow blade and a front ram-pusher for pushing/moving cars around.
Since this summer, I only used the back blade to level dirt, the yorkrake and back blade to smooth our gravel driveway and the 3pt. forks to move stuff around. Today I was going to mount up the front snow plow for winter duty, and relized that some of the pieces are missing and didn't get them when I brought the tractor home. I have the plow blade, main frame lifting arm, plow support angle assembly and the lift link brackets. I have pretty much the plow and complete under carriage.
This is where I need some help. I need some dimensions for some of the pieces that I'm missing.
1) The L-shaped mounting plates
2) The lift connecting bars
3) The triangle lift plate
I do metal fabrication for a living and these pieces look easy enough to make. I just need dimensions to duplicate them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
