I used the 222 to plow out after the snow we got yesterday and I noticed I could only angle the blade a little. There are 5 angle holes, I usually just keep it straight but yesterday I wanted to angle it. It would only angle one hole to either side of straight. Since its cold outside I haven't even looked at it. How hard is it to fix???

Before a reply can be made on a repair, you need to find the problem. Something must be obstructing the travel. What is it? Remove the obstruction and it should work. Is it badly rusted? Is it striking the tire? Are the holes clear? Is the something stuck in the turn table?
Report back when you get it checked out.

i agree it could be anything from a bent pin to something blocking its path the plate that it turns on may be slightly twisted or could be snow and ice packed in tightly somewhere preventing it

I have John Deere and Wheel horse plow blades, you don't go more than one hole when adjusting the blade for snow plowing.If you put too much angle on the blade, the front of the tractor just gets pushed sideways by the snow.:fing32:
The plate is flat when new, they do "cup up" due to use. Straightened one using a giant c-clamp. YMMV

[/URL]Consider that the pivot bolt could be too tight, you need either a nylock or "pinch" nut on there so you can leave some play and still not have the nut fall off in the snow

Do you have access to a hydraulic press? Do you have anything really heavy that you can wedge the plow and a bottle jack into?
Anyone want to use thier hy-split to help 222 out? :14_6_5:

Thanks Bob.
Like Bob said it was bent pretty bad, a few minutes on the press and it was straight. I also had a chance to check out his nice tractor, I'm kinda jealous, his has shiny paint mine has a few shiny spots under the rust. Getting it fixed today was perfect timing with snow forecasted for tomorrow.
Thanks again
Dave
