| For the sake of time, I had most of the plate pieces cut out on a water jet. I like being able to make everything myself but free cutting with a torch and cleaning up with an angle grinder or even a mill takes a long time. |
 |
| I was also not able to roll 11 gauge sheet 4' wide so I asked my brother in law to do it for me. |
 |
| Welded together the upper pivot mounts. These mount to the underside of the frame. |
 |
| Using my trusty fixture table, I started welding together the plow pivot frame. |
 |
| You can see the rod that locates the pivots for the plow breakaway. |
 |
| Using my trusty fixture table again. I need to get a bigger one. |
 |
| Getting the plow sheet mocked up. |
 |
| The angle iron is 1-1/2x1-1/2x1/8. The gussets are 1/4". And the plow sheet is 11 gauge. |
 |
| I installed a replaceable cutting edge. |
 |
| Here you can see the hydraulic cylinders for the lift and swivel. |
 | |
| There is a total of 50 degrees of swivel. |

| This is with the plow laying down. |
