Murray snow plow blade install

16 years ago

I bought this 46" snow plow, but it has been anything but easy to get installed. The Murray model of it is 24478B. A parts diagram can be found for it at:

The hard part was getting the front brackets hooked up correctly. They mount to the existing front frame mounts where the mower deck normally hooks up. My unit has eye bolts on the raise/lower mechanism. I just had to drill out an existing hole on each frame rail just above where the eye bolts were located on the the raise/lower brackets. I drilled the holes with a 21/64 drill bit, and installed 5/16" x 2 1/2" "S" hooks in each hole. Then I attached the eye bolt loops onto each "S" hook and adjusted the eye bolts with the blade in the down position until there was no slack. This made sure the blade raised as soon as the lifting lever was pulled back to gain maximum ground clearance. I wish there was a way to post pictures on here to help with clarifying my description. It was overall, very confusing because of the front mounting brackets were difficult to determine their configuration. I believe I have got it right, or at least it works well enough. My only question is how much the blade was designed to lift off the ground. I am only clearing 3 1/2". I hope that is what I could expect had I been able to have proper installation instructions. But it is what it is at this point.
