Re: (ET) Adjusting blade springs?



While mine does kick, I have not had this experience ever, and I was looking thru the  manual the other day and..........err..somewhere I think it mentioned such a thing.

Yeah, mine you need to hit a curb or such to tilt it.

We've had freezing rain and snow dumped on us here the last couple of days,

wettest stuff I've ever tried to plow. I found that I had to run the E15's
dozer blade at 45 degrees and push only about a 6" wide strip at a time, or
the blade's release springs would dump it. It took a LOT of runs down the
driveway to more-or-less clear it out.

Anybody know how much I can safely tighten up those release springs? Is
there any specification or way to measure how easily the blade should
deflect under pressure? I don't want to risk bending the ET's chassis, of
course.

Thanks.
