What is the length of a snowplow lift rod for a B-

[Kent 435]

Could someone measure their lift rod for a B-series light-duty snow/dozer blade and let me know how long it is? I mistakenly let mine go with another blade I sold, and need to fabricate one... Duh!

Looks like you might have it by now Kent but I found it and I'm going to try and post it as a link just to see if it works. Good luck! John(ri)[A href='http://images.honesty.com/imagedata/h/763/53/27635347.jpg']http://images.honesty.com/imagedata/h/763/53/27635347.jpg[/a]

Kent, I just uploaded pix of a lift rod that may help you and others. See message "Fabricated Lift Rod".

Gee! You guys are super -- and fast! It's the 20" measurement I needed. I felt like a real dummy... I pulled the snowthrower off and put the blade on to clear up the ice/crud remaining from our 2' of snow Monday evening, only to find out the lift rod I thought fit it does not. I sold another blade back in the early summer and I guess the correct rod went with it. I have NO clue what this one fits... it's not the correct length for the snowthrower either. Dutch, can I put your info in the DIY section? Thanks again, everyone! Kent

Kent, "... can I put your info in the DIY section?" Sure.

I use a chain on the snowthrower for my Landlord. I like this setup because with the hydro lift i don't have to put it in float pos., I just lower the blower until theres slack in the chain which tells me it will follow uneven ground.

i was had the same proublem a few years back.and the snow was pileing up!!!.a simple sullution is just a piece of chain.its still on my tractor.

Chain works great for lifting, but you can't apply down pressure needed at times for stubborn snow or grading.
