: Howdy folks. I have been a fan of Forward
: Control Jeeps for many years now. I went
: and looked at one for sale about 20 years
: ago and it was then that I learned of their
: rust issues.
:
: I told myself that if the right one came
: along, I might pick it up someday.
:
: We have been using an International
: Harvester model 284 tractor to plow snow
: since my dad bought the tractor new in 1976.
: The plow is mounted on the rear of the
: tractor so you have to plow in reverse and
: turn around to see what you're plowing. Not
: to mention that you're out in the snow and
: wind while you're plowing.
:
: Well, I finally found the FC-150 of my
: dreams and the transporter is delivering it
: this week. Wheeeeeee!!! I can't wait!!!
:
: I've called some local plow places and hit
: dead ends. They all tell me it's too old to
: cross-reference what mainframe assembly
: would be needed for the plow. When I
: mention that it "may" be the same
: application as a standard CJ-5, that helps a
: little but most plow manufacturers don't
: even make CJ-5 mainframe assemblies any
: more.
:
: I have all summer to get the plow project
: off the ground but it's never too early to
: start accumulating all the pieces.
:
: I had several plow places tell me to go with
: a eight foot plow and that's just silly. I
: am only plowing my own driveway and one or
: two of the neighbor's driveways. I'm sure
: a six foot plow would be more than adequate
: but all the plow places tell me that the
: smallest plow available is the Western
: Suburbanite.
:
: So I did a Google search and found this cool
: Forward Control forum and am asking y'all
: for help! Thanks in advance for any and all
: help!
