I am assembling the implements to a recently purchased Farmall 140. Thanks to Curt Cooke, I now know to hook my front blade up using the square tube passing through the axle housing and have found the square spacers with a hole in them for the shaft.

Now I notice these bolts coming in at a 45 deg angle. Do I trap the spacers with these, sliding the spacers up against the bolts, or tighten the bolts down on the spacers? Is it better to leave the bolts a little loose or make sure that they are tight?

I am sure these are simple questions to most of you, but I am hoping to avoid a dumb mistake/expensive repair. It would seem to me that the front blade will generate a good deal of load on this front housing.

Thanks for helping out the new guy.

Brian, the square nuts with the hole in them are made to be flush with the outside of the housing. You should have a spacer pipe (1" regular pipe will do) about nine inched long that slides into the square housing and keeps the square nuts spaced to be flush with the outside of the housing. The nuts are kept in place from the inside by the pipe and the outside by the bracket that suspends the plow. The angle set bolts of which you speak are then tightened down to hold that 1" pipe spacer in place.

Thanks. I can install it that way using the inner pair of bolt holes. The spacers that I got are 2 or 3 inches long, not flat like square nuts. But they stick out just a bit with the outer bolts in place, and are countersunk if you try to tighten the outer bolts squarely on them. I will add a spacer and make sure the assembly is flush. That made more sense to me.

Thanks to your help, I will be ready for the snow season.
