This is what YT is all about. Helping each other out and by showing what we know so others can learn. I also enjoyed the fact you left the expletive in the video. Lots of YTbers edit to make it look super simple but you are keeping it real. Great work look forward to future videos.
@@5beesgarage I'm glad guys like you are on YT cuz if the snow was coming and I had to hook up that plow with no video I would of been trapped under the plow with the snow on top!
@@5beesgarage This might be a long shot but I was wondering if you could help me out. I have all the stuff except those long rectangle brackets that you are hanging from the bottom of the tractor. would it be possible to get some measurements on those so I can make them myself
Daniel, thanks for the comment. I actually had a GT5000 about 15 years ago with AG tires. They didn't work well. I found turfs with chains and weight is the best recipe on concrete and blacktop. All though that was with a 48" blower hanging off the front instead of a plow.
This is AWSOME. I got the same tractor with the same plow with harware missing.I think the same hardware you were missing. I got it to work with what I got and figured out, but now I can get it to go up n down the way it was designed. I made a bracket that wraped around the lift handle and ran a cable to a lift arm I made, simular to my GT John Deere. supported the front that slides in, ( kept coming off ) All wotked ok and moved ALOT of top soil n snow last couple years with my setup. But now I know where them brackets go and the lifting part. Great video
HI 5 Bees Garage, @ 3:56 there are two front bracket that mount the plow. Do you have their part number by chance? I am missing those two pieces. Thank you in advance.
Hello friend. First of all thank you very much for your video it has been very educational to me. I do have the same dozer blade and honestly I am having a very hard time trying to find the " rod lifting trunnion part". According to Sears it has been discontinued. Would you please take the dimensions on one of the trunnions that you have. And send me the dimensions so I couldn't reverse engineer it. And make it myself at work??.
Man I wish that I could find those 2 components. The lift assembly & the centering assembly! If you got some suggestions or extra parts I could use the help!
I just got the same snow plow but the original owner cut off the mounting arm! I was wondering if you or someone else could give me the dimensions? I’m gonna manufacture my own arm for it.
Well actually it turns out those two brackets you installed to raise and lower the blade aren’t manufactured anymore and I can’t find them used so I’m just gonna build an arm running back to the deck lift with pins, but yes I do need the dimensions for that support bracket. Thanks
Do you have the correct part number for the wheel weights? Did you buy them new at Sears recently? I recently bought some new and when they arrived they were for a Husqvarna..not correct.
@@alancolvincom If you can not find them at retail or internet stores then Craigslist or Facebook would be a good bet. They are there, just be patient and know what you are looking at as most people have no idea what they have.
The dimensions of the brackets that your are putting on at the 5 minute mark. If I could somehow get the measurements for those brackets it would be greatly appreciated
Hi Tiler, Do you have the hitch plates? I can get you the measurement for those brackets from my dozer if you can get me the measurement for the hitch plates that I don't have. Thank you
@AB Metal Fabrication LLC hitch plates? Exactly witch ones are those.and I was able to make the ones I was looking for but I can still help get you measurements for ones you need
@@tilermissey1864 HI Tiler Missey. Thank you for getting back to me. This is the Part number craftsman hitch "23652" I found online. There are two front plates (bracket) where the whole plow unit get to hook onto. Each plates has J-hook and 3 holes. 2 small holes about 3/8" diameter and one big one about 3/4" diameter. @ 3:56 minute in the video you will see the hitch plates that I am describing. Thank you in advance.

Excellent, brother... thank you!
Thanks
I have a plow on my JD400 but i did put a blower on my 86' Craftsman ll 18hp with weight and chains, cant wait to try it out this winter.
I am sure it worked great if you got snowl.
Great video. Like the part about the adjustment so the bracket doesn’t hit the pulley.
Thanks Noel, appreciate the comment and the view.
If you're just looking to plow with it, agricultural tires would be pretty badass on that machine. :-)

Awesome job on getting your lift mechanism working. Thanks for the comment!
Great video. Some snow plowing video would have been gravy.
Thanks and I agree!
.floor jack help with chains. So you can spin Wheel to adjust,, Great Video.
@10:30- you can put washers behind your hairpins to take out some play. I'm pretty sure I've seen other people on YT mounting blades use washers.
Thanks for the comment and View JayPee. I have used that trick before.
Nice detailed video
Thank you!
Nice job!
Thank you! Cheers!

I do not have the part number. Sorry.

Scott, Keep searching Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. They are out there, just keep looking. Thanks for the comment.
Winter is here
Yup, it sure is!
hey! do you know what the part number is for the plow stabilizer bracket? im having a hard time trying to find it, or im dumb and cant figure it out.
I am sorry but I do not have the part number, it is not listed on the bracket.
I just got the same snow plow but the original owner cut off the mounting arm! I was wondering if you or someone else could give me the dimensions? I’m gonna manufacture my own arm for it.
Which arm do you need dimensions for? The support bracket shown at 12:36 in the video?
Well actually it turns out those two brackets you installed to raise and lower the blade aren’t manufactured anymore and I can’t find them used so I’m just gonna build an arm running back to the deck lift with pins, but yes I do need the dimensions for that support bracket. Thanks
"These wheel weights are 55 pounds so this should be fun" 🤣
It was! LOL
Crap. I didn't get those brackets with the used plow I got either. But I do have a yard full of junk metal to rig something up. Hopefully.
The little are often overlooked and become the hardest to source. Often the brackets are left on the machines.
Now all you need is about 35" of snow :-)
Snowmageddon might require a bigger machine! LOL
Do you have a mower deck for your craftsman gt to or is it just for plowing only ?
I do have a mower deck but it's not the original and I do not use it for mowing currently.
Do you have the correct part number for the wheel weights? Did you buy them new at Sears recently? I recently bought some new and when they arrived they were for a Husqvarna..not correct.
It should be 26234, 55lb wheel weight. Provided you have a Garden Tractor. If you have a Lawn Tractor you will need the 33lb wheel weights.
Yes..the 26234 is correct. I have looked all over trying to find a new set to no avail..any thoughts where I can find a set?
@@alancolvincom If you can not find them at retail or internet stores then Craigslist or Facebook would be a good bet. They are there, just be patient and know what you are looking at as most people have no idea what they have.
Thanx for the reply and help..did a great job on this video btw!
Btw..is the part number on the weight itself?
The dimensions of the brackets that your are putting on at the 5 minute mark. If I could somehow get the measurements for those brackets it would be greatly appreciated

at 4:04 where he mounted the pivot point onto the plate at the J-hook.
@AB Metal Fabrication LLC yes I can get you those measurements. Might be a few days though
What is the plow model number
Thanks for the question Nik. I meant to put it in the description but I guess I missed it.486.244122
What happened to the snow? I would have liked to see your tractor w plow work.. ☹️
Next week! Thanks for the comment.
