    Meyer E47 snowplow sporadically jams on rising

    Hello Friends, The intermittent problem raising the plow has been tracked down to a bad E47 motor Solenoid. As the weather got colder here, the problem re-occurred long enough for me to diagnose the problem with my test lights. Clearly the motor power was dropping out and causing the...

    Meyer E47 snowplow sporadically jams on rising

    Hello friends at Yesterday's Tractors, With your help, I have completed the following tasks on the Meyer e47 snowplow. So far, I have not been able to recreate the 'stopping' problem, but I am awaiting the next big snowstorm. I did try leaving the machine out and starting it again at 4am...

    Meyer E47 snowplow sporadically jams on rising

    I have ordered the fresh Meyer hydraulic fluid ( M-1 De-icer) and hopefully will be able to drain and clean the filters in a few days. The 'light contamination' of the hydraulic fluid appears to be the prime suspect at this point. I will keep this thread posted on any progress and...

    Meyer E47 snowplow sporadically jams on rising

    Pump motor appears to be stopped when the problem happens - i don't hear/feel any grinding. I have the circuit tester setup to to fully check the power to the motor next time it happens. Thanks!

    Meyer E47 snowplow sporadically jams on rising

    The Meyer Snowplow worked fine this morning, but it was a balmy 28 degrees Fahrenheit here. It failed during the last snowstorm when it was certainly in the teens with wet driving snow. I have topped off the hydraulic fluid (needed a few tablespoons) and set up my circuit tester lights...

    Meyer E47 snowplow sporadically jams on rising

    Hello Jim, The car motor is running. It is definitely just stopping and not a "jam". I have taped the circuit tester light to my hood so I can clearly see the actual power next time happens. The hydraulic oil is becoming more suspect... Thanks!

    Meyer E47 snowplow sporadically jams on rising

    I purchased the rebuilt E47 from RCPW, Inc. in Ohio and had a trustworthy mechanic install it two years ago. The old pump was leaking terribly. The 'jam' problem on the rebuilt E47 only started recently - otherwise it worked fine for the first winter. Thanks Keith - I appreciate your help...

    Meyer E47 snowplow sporadically jams on rising

    Thank you all for your responses! Here is some more information on the problem.... When it jams going up, everything just stops (not a grinding slow stop - just stops moving). Up, down and sideways also does not work. Yesterday, I hooked up a circuit tester light that goes on when the...

    Meyer E47 snowplow sporadically jams on rising

    Hello, My rebuilt Meyer E47 snowplow sporadically jams while rising, usually during a cold snowstorm. I have changed the hydraulic fluid using the Meyer 'anti-freeze-up' brand, but the fluid may have been sitting on the store shelf for a while. Motor Solenoid is sending 12v power to the...
