Would you say it is worth $220? if it works?
It's 1/10 of the new cost for the cheapest ones.
OK, I just brought it home. I will try to adapt it to my Chevy for the
next winter. I may have to tinker with the control a little bit. I
have very little clue how snowplows work. I may need to do some
welding to adapt it to my truck.
Snowplows work by pushing snow
No kidding./ ;-)
There are very minimal controls on one, some are power lift only and
some have power angle. Most have solenoid valve control, but I think a
few used mechanical push-pull cable control to the valve(s). Electric
hydraulic pump, with a contactor to turn it on whenever a control is
moved. Welding mount adapters should be the bulk of the project.
I think that this one has a solenoid valve control.
The control that came with it, seems beaten up, I may want to replace
it.

Replacement parts are readily available, as are rebuild kits for seals,
Northern Tool carries a lot of them.
