anyone have any i wish i did this before i installed my plow advice .i just took it out of the box and havent started yet . locktight beefing up mount ?

 

I have the Glacier I and just bolted the mount on without any loc-tite. The mount doesn't need to be beefed up IMO.

 

Wow! JF, how ya been? I haven't heard from you in a long time!

I agree with Jumbofrank, bolt it on, make sure it's all tight and go plow!

 

I'm doing okay Rancher. I've been spending a lot of time on another forum instead of here.

From what I read here the Glacier2 mount is kind of wimpy but there's no problem with my G1. I've run into the curb a few times hard enough that I thought it would break something. I think it would take a bad crash to bend or break the mount.

 

Ditto on the other posts. Had mine since 05 and other than rotating the scraping blade when it gets worn I haven'f had to touch it. Seen plenty of use here in MN!

 

DUCTMATE,

A couple years ago I owned a Glacier 1 and it was a VERY good plow. I had the 60" blade with rubber upper deflector.

I highly recommend the upper rubber piece because it adds another 4-5" to the blade height!

BTW, I also owned the Glacier2 and had many problems with the mounting plate. It was an early Glacier2 and I would think by now the plate has been re-designed and made stronger. But I do not know that as fact.
