All week, I've been hemming and hawing about how I was going to raise/lower the 3 point. Saturday morn I decided I was going to try modifying a winch and try to use it as a rotary actuator. And, it would have worked except that it just turns WAY too fast. It was worth the $90 for the winch to figure that out...and, now I have a winch! So, in the end, a linear actuator it will have to be. Somehow. With that decision made for me, I could press on with mounting the snow plow. This was actually very simple. I just had to cut two pieces of 5/16" flat bar to length and put a slight bend in it. I'm not sure why but I thought that was going to take much longer. With that out of the way, I'm going to go sit on the porch and enjoy this BEAUTIFUL spring day. Thanks for watching, Bill
