The hydraulic part the raises and lowers the plow, looks like some kind of bolt and nut that goes through the hydraulic part..... its near the kick stand, That part is missing, and the plow is stuck in the down position . The hydraulic it self works fine, goes up and down fine with no problem. Don't know if its some kind of pin or bolt and nut assembly. My boss dealer is already gone for the holiday or I'd just call them. Any help would be much appreciated.....thanks
Go to Bossplow.com, there is a service page, has parts info, you should be able to find the part number there then figure out where you can get it. Or, try the online chat function with them and they should be able to help you out. Click on the Boss logo on the top of this page, then "Tech support" has parts look up, parts posters and online help. Good luck!
By your description I'd say you're talking about the lower clevis pin in the lift cylinder. If it's an RT3 it's p/n HDW5563 but you can throw any 5/8" pin or bolt and nut in there for now if needed.
First year with a boss plow....now I know what to check and look for better. Luckly my receiver hit pin was 5/8 and saved the day....temparly fix.....and it worked. Anyone use a bolt and a nut instead of the clevis pin?
The only thing wrong with a bolt is you need tools to install and remove . I would advise keeping a spare in the truck with your spare 3:00 AM replacement hose ! I carry a spare power solenoid too , hell they're only a few bucks and if you have one , you'll probably never need it . I haven't blown a hose since I started carrying a spare !
Yeah, I keep hoses in the truck and spare power solenoid. Along with some tools. Seems like the bolt would hold in the better. But now I keep some clevis pins as well.
No its been extremely dry here too....weather guy said we've set some records for being so dry....the lack of snow is killing me. We've been stuck with this high pressure in the state so every single storm just goes right around us. Hopefully things will change soon, hopefully for all of us hu.
