Snow Plow Replacement Parts-Is It Time
When it comes to snow plow replacement parts, there is a lot to be
considered. One of The most important thing to consider is time, why? Because if you are broken
down on the side of the road and need a snow plow part immediately, where do you begin. Obviously shopping on line
is not going to help unless it is a very unique part. Most of the local snow plow dealers in your area usually have a good idea on what wears out on the brands they sale and stock those parts in case you do get stuck. So you can get back on the road sooner and not later. You can always ask them what parts on the model plow you have, wears out? It does not hurt you to get a heads up on your plow equipment, before there s a problem.
But in order to keep a break down and snowplow replacement parts to minimum We at Edgeolite came out with a pre-trip inspection for you in previous snowplow articles. The important thing to remember is when ever you need a replacement part in a hurry it is generally more than if you had a chance to price shop for it. So the way to save is to inspect your snowplow to get an idea of what is showing signs of wear and will need to be replaced. Then you can shop around for the snowplow replacement parts you need , chances are you will also find a few new parts that you have not seen that might also interest you.
The most important snow plow parts to look at on your plow are the ones that under go the
most work and movement. You want to look at the plow hoses, pins, plow solenoids, cutting edges they are constantly at work when plowing and will stop you in your tracks if they stop working when plowing. Now that you have a good idea of what could be a potential problem it is not a bad idea to keep a few snowplow replacement parts with you in the truck. I do not know any one company that carries every single replacement part made for every snowplow in stock and if they said they did, I would be have a hard time believing it. So Edgeolite in a few weeks is coming up with a quick replacement parts guide directory for you to use to save you time finding your parts.

Snow Plow Preparation List , YES Before The Storm
Everybody may have a different way to check their snowplow Equipment before
the storm but this works for me. The first thing I do is what is called a
Pre-trip inspection just like you would on a tractor trailer.
Lift the hood on your plow truck , check the engine oil, power steering fluids, windshield washer fluids , and battery connections are tight, check the belts be sure they are not cracked, check the coolant level, (with the truck cold), check the brake fluid and If low it either means your pads need to be changed, or there is a leak. The fluid went some where! Look around in the motor compartment for any loose wires, be sure they are not touching or rubbing through anywhere. OK, now close the hood and proceed to the rest of the inspection.
Get in your snowplow truck check and see that the horn works, the wiper works the heat works, put the truck in 4wd and drive forward a few feet you should feel the difference of resistance when you turn the wheel and drive forward . Then disengage the 4wd and put the transmission back into park. Check that the parking brake is working and releases, check that the brakes are working.
Now check the lights, put on the low beam headlights, parking lights, start at the drivers door out side of your vehicle and walk counter clockwise around your plow truck check the tire lugs, tire pressures, grab the mirrors make sure they are not loose check that the lights are working. Now go back and check high beams and left, right signal lights and brake lights. When you are done with this now we can go on to checking the plow out.
We can now begin to check out the plow. You want to make sure everything is working before you go to work. You want to make sure everything is working fine and not faulty when you need to start snowplowing.
Time is money and we do not want you to have any break downs if we can help it.
Start the vehicle and raise and lower the plow a few times
Check the controls are not loose and cycle the plow with the controls
When you are doing this watch the amp gauge for not over excessive amp draw down in the system.
Raise the plow up and leave it up for a few minutes to make sure it does not drift down
Check the snowplow high beams and low beams are working and adjusted right.
Check the turn signal lights are working and not loose
With the plow down get out and inspect the chain is not worn
Check around all hydraulic cylinders for leaks or dents in the cylinders
Check the snowplow hoses and hose connections
Check the center pivot of the plow for play
Check the plow frame bolts are tight and not loose
Check for any cracks on the welds of the plow
Inspect the snowplow cutting edge, shoes and springs
Look at the snow plow pins and the plow retainer rings
OK now that you inspected your snowplow. Let’s go over a few things you should have
in the truck with you, flashlight, gloves, extra plow pins, extra hose and quick connectors, hydraulic fluid,
Box of fuses, a relay for you plow, Electrical tape, 2 cans of fix a flat, and road flairs.
I have used this list for over 20 years and it has saved me many times. I hope it saves you Happy plowing From Edgeolite.com
