Snow Plow Parts

Hey Daniel, Chances are your slipper spring has flattened out over time and is longer than it originally was. Typically an older trailer that may not have had its suspension replaced anytime recently is around an inch longer than it was originally.…

The spring hanger placement is going to be determined by your axle spacing. For example, if your axles are spaced 33 inches apart, as shown in the attached diagram, a 7K axle slipper spring, like #e74SR, requires a distance of 28-1/2 inches between…

Hey Joe, thanks for the information! To replace your Dexter 072-079-01 leaf springs, I recommend the 7-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 8,000-lb Trailer Axles item #EM28AJ. This is a 4,000 lbs leaf spring designed for 8,000 lbs axles. It's got 7-leafs…

Slipper spring setups, like parts #e74SR and #APT6SE for 7K axles, do have different hanger sizes so what you'll want to do is cut off the older hangers and do some mock-ups of your new system before installing the hangers. Start off by mocking…

You can switch from a 5-Leaf #e74SR to a 7-Leaf #e37SR as long as you are replacing all your leaf springs. Do note the 7-leaf springs are going to be roughly 3/4" taller so you may also need taller U-Bolts like the #MR66ZR which are 7-3/4"…

Hey, Chris! I checked in with Curt and they let me know that they just recently came out with a new harness, part #C28DQ. I just got it added on our website. This is a custom harness so you be able to plug it in, ground it, and then run a power wire…

We do have a shoe for a Meyer snowplow with a 3/4" diameter shaft, the Replacement Shoe Assembly for Meyer Snowplow - Standard (Drive Pro) #3371303002. I have added a link to a video review with dimensions of this part for you to check out as…

Hi Greg; leaf springs aren't typically used to raise a trailer. However, if the #EM28AJ matches your current leaf spring measurements, and your current leaf springs are 3-leaf, and the leaf springs are sitting on top of the axle, that would push…

I definitely understand how safety chain capacities and determining exactly what chain rating you need for your trailer can be a bit confusing. To keep it as simple as possible, safety chain requirements state that the breaking strength of EACH…

The parts are different and cannot be interchanged; an angled cylinder simply angles the blade, while the lift cylinder like #3371304203 you mentioned will raise it vertically. The part you mentioned is for a Western Hydraulic snow plow, and for an…

Kyle, the HomePlows like #ME53FR lift about 8" in travel mode, while the WingMan #ME35FR lifts closer to 10" thanks to its larger hydraulics. That’s plenty to clear curbs or the edge of your apron. If your slope’s steep, you’ll appreciate…

Lisa, the HomePlow #ME53FR uses a true hydraulic lift and power-angling system, so it can apply real down pressure when you hold the lower control. That’s the main advantage over the electric HomePlows like the ##ME28FR and #ME88FR, which only lower…
