54: Snow Plow Chain Mount

Submitted by: Southwest District

Innovation Description and Benefit:

By rebuilding the snorkel on the snow plow mount it eliminates the chain breakage and allows the snow plow to hang level. Before this innovation, notches in the old snorkel would act as a “shear” and would break the chains.  In the year that we have created this innovation, there have been zero chains broken.
