I know there's a lot to editing, so much so that producers often have that done 3rd party.. Beyond that, I have no idea lol.

That's amazing he made it there, the video is going to be cool.

 

Waiting for my bracket for the plow mount, I made an interesting discovery today. The guy I bought this from couldn't read instructions on how to assemble it correctly. He had the pivot mount on upside down and reversed. The mounting end was upside down. I know now why he never put it on his ATV. It wouldn't go on this way. He also bent the swivel release handle trying to make it rotate, so I had to do some straightening. Damn was hard to bend. He must have used his foot to try and dislodge it.

I disassembled the two ends, made the correct swap of the brackets and mount, then remounted to the blade. Now the hook is in the right place for the winch to attach and works how it should now, no thanks to the P/Owner. LOL I'll add the winch tomorrow and wire it in with the solenoid and relays and be done with that when the plate gets here.

 

Doh! That's funny, AK. Some fellers don't like the instructions. Like me.

 

Sounds like the guy attempted to convert static instructions into a dynamic version, and got in over his head.....

 

For some people, RTFM is the last step before doing the first step correctly.

Yeah, Brew, I'm probably just going to leave a couple of 3" pieces lay out in the yard this winter. Got them hooked up today as one of the myriad chores I set for myself this weekend, which included among other things, dragging the driveway, blocking some logs, watering trees, fixing the exhaust on the Mustang (again), and prepping the blade on the ATV. Speaking of which...

AK: I'd been wanting to try coating my plow blade with Slip Plate, but always thought it would entail stripping it down to bare metal. Reading the instructions though (Ha!) it sounded like all I needed to do was prep like any other paint, and there was mention of needing bare metal, so we'll see how it goes this winter. We used the stuff on weapons test stand rails in Minot and I seem to recall it being pretty tuff (and slippery) stuff.

 

Caught you vid white, man that ground affect covers that entire piece. Didn't realize that. I think you have it plenty good.....as long as the ground affect lines up nicely. That was pretty nasty looking when you first pulled it off....it was like SURPRISE! lol.

 

Thanks, Brew..... Yeah, it was pretty brutal when I took that off. Had to have been like that for a long time to be that mangled and rusted. After looking at it a bit more, there are some ever-so-minor details that I can get taken care of before I throw a little paint over it.

I saved that piece that I cut out of there. Trying to decide if I want to make some type of garage art with it, lol.

 

You could make a pretty scary Halloween mask out of it.

 

LOL... yes, that would be very scary!!

 

The guys around here, at least a number of them, use a teflon type of paint that keeps the snow from sticking to the blades. I think it's called Plow Slick. I know my local Axalta store has it there.
