William Bros Boiler Company snow plow on Fordson.
Minneapolis Minnesota.

I wonder if there is a bucket behind the license plate to catch
the chain end when the plow is lifted or does it just bang
against the hood? Dave

No matter how you figure it that would be one cold job with that steel or cast seat and no cover of any kind from the wind.

 

[Duner Wi]

I think chain winds on shaft.

 

[4wdtom]

Probably only lifts it a few inches, not much chain hanging down.

I was also wondering if it winds up on that shaft. Can't really see what's behind that gear. Maybe there's a small drum on that shaft or something for the chain to wind around.

Maybe the effort exerted to raise the blade would keep you warm.

That might be a little tricky trying to hand start with the plow mounting in the way.

I am surprised to see the hand crank not tied up

No gloves-no ear covering- tough dude! Mark.

Not unusual for my ears to be uncovered above 10 degrees. But usually wear gloves.

The warmer/more covered my head is-the warmer I am. I'll cover my ears if it's 40* and the wind is blowing, if I am going to stay out for a bit. I think I got chilled with frostbit ears a few times as a kid, so now my ears are sensitive to cold. Mark.
