Meyers E47 snow plow problem
Hello,
I have a very old (1980's) Meyers E47 model snow plow mounted on an old truck I keep to plow out at my shack. This past winter it did not get used due to lack of snow in our area. Last weekend when I went to move it for summer storage I saw that it will not angle to the RIGHT. It raises and lowers fine and it went to the left when I toggled the switch to the left but it kept going LEFT when I toggled the switch to the RIGHT???? Any ideas would be very much appreciated! Thanks, Steve |

Meyers E47 snow plow problem
I'm not a plow expert, however I have worked with hydraulics in the
past. Sounds like a stuck solenoid valve on the hydraulic manifold. You may be able to free it tapping it with a hammer, however usually the manifolds I've worked with are fairly delicate & should probably be gone through. Like I said though, I'm no expert on plows at all, but lightly tapping may help free the stuck valve. Good luck!

SLow plows use a two partle spool valvle to control oil flow and a thrid part the switch to control the power to it. You will have varify is power it present at coil over spool valve in question (coil slides over it and is easily replaceable) and if it is good, then spool valve in clogged or stuck. If stuck it is usually from rust of grit the results for improper service og unit. At link below you can find online info on Meyer plows including on line service manuals. http://forum.snoman.com/viewtopic.php?t=22 ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |
