Title: How to fit a plow to a K-27?
Post by: suffolk_rr on November 19, 2011, 10:19:27 AM
I've just spent a frustrating hour trying to fit a snowplow to my K-27 #463. I removed the pilot beam and can see that there are two lugs in the under side of both the original pilot beam and the snowplow assembly - these drop neatly into holes in the cast frame spacer on the normal pilot, but try as I might, I cannot get the plow far enough back to get the lugs to go into the holes!

Can anybody out there who has fitted a plow to a K-27 offer any suggestions? I've looked at previous posts about plows but didn't find any comments on this problem.

Keith.

Thanks, Sleeping Bear,
I hadn't searched carefully enough! From what I found, I think the key to getting the plow on is to remove the smokebox door number plate, which I hadn't done as it seems to be glued in. Thaks for your suggestion about how to do a better search.
