Tom H.-Take Ryan's advice and wait for a Cat 0 to come along at the right price. That diesel will twist that adapter into a pretzel and you won't even notice it. I've seen a couple of those get really messed up by gassers,you can imagine what the oil burner will do. You'll be really happy with that plow,does it have power angle? If it does,you'll just be spoiling yourself more but why not,that's what the front hydraulics are for! Email me and tell me where you got it,I may know who you're talking about. Was it in the guy's basement and did he have motorcycles? And a Quietline of some kind?
