Ford LNT8000 snowplow

[PierreR89]

Been building this for a few weeks and it got done yesterday.
I made the plow being able to move up and down by drilling some small holes and then using a brass rod as a hinge for it.
It also moves side to side as they do on the real plowtrucks.
But the thing i noticed with it being able to move like the real trucks was that the hydraulic hoses kept coming off from their mounts and thats why they are not attached on it now.
Might try to add them later.

Looks great! My solution for the hoses was test fitting first, making sure they were seated all the way down on the pins. Then take them off, apply super glue to the end of the hose, and reapply the hoses.

Thanks.
I will try that and if that dont work for me i think i will use some thin steel wire and drill holes where they are going to be.
That way the glue will have more surface area to grap on to.

Sure that would work too! If you'd like me to send you close up pictures of mine, let me know ?
