We went through the left over used stuff yesterday.  We have a pair of 6.5' plows.  Problem is that they are for an S-10.  The Jeep Wranglers use a full width MM1 or 2.  S-10's use a narrowed version.  So, I have everything for your Jeep used exept for the correct head gear.  Our plan for those was to strip them down for parts.  The pumps/ harnesses/ pistons are worth more than the entire plow.  I'm going to see if I can dig up a full size headgear in good shape.  We have plows in 3 locations around 2 towns.  I'll let you know what I find.  The one thing I know for sure that we don't have is a used set of push plates for you Jeep.  We do have them new however.  Used Wrangler stuff is very hard to come by.

Push plates and wiring only.  We are out of mid sized used plows.

We have 1 Used 8' Western for a Chevy

2 6.5' Fisher MM1 for Chevy S-10.  The S-10 has an obscure narrow attachment kit.

Trying to see what else we can make from parts right now.  Working on getting more.  We've been hammered on used plows already.

We bought out some other dealers over the summer.  So, we have some deals we can offer on some nice new but non-current stuff.  Full 2 year warranty.

Hits the equiptment mag on Wed.

Your choice:
     8' X-Blade / 8.5' HD / 8.5' Easy V      for $4600

or

     9.5' Easy V    for $5600

Our pushplates are for a MM not conventional.

HeyZip:  I've been through the yard twice.  We have 2 6'6" plows narrow frame (S-10/Ranger) and 1 6'9" narrow frame.  We have a bunch of frame assemblies... all narrow.  I can't find a single wide frame that hasn't been torn up for parts.  If you were to find a wide frame somewhere... we have everything else to make one for you.  The Jeep Wrangler '97-'06 is the only small vehicle to use a wide framed snow plow.  I thought about maybe moding a set of push plates to fit the narrow framed plow.  But, that wouldn't be very strong.

In your opinion could I build my own push plates to fit the narrow frame? I have plenty of stock laying around. Also I am not looking to spend nearly as much as you listed for john. Even a cheap plow would be fine, like the meyers or snow-way. Its going on a 4 cyl to btw

I honestly think you could make a set of push plates fit the narrow frame.  If you have the welding/modification skills.  We have a couple extra narrow frames... I'm sure we could give you one to use for mocking up so you don't have to take the good one apart.

Call me if you want to.  I'll see what we can do for you.

Charlie I will let you know. looking for a push plate. I assume MM is specific to MM and fischer is specific to fischer, or is there some interchangability?

Every plow is brand specific as to it's attachment kits.  And to make things worse most companies have changed thier attachment method at least once in the last 10 years.  Fisher Minute Mount attachment kits are the same from the very beggining in the 90's to now.  The only changes Fisher has gone through are for the wiring  and plumbing.  First the plows were MM1 with a conventional belt driven plow pump under the hood.  Then they went to a 2 plug Electric/Hydrualic unit.  The MM2 Changed everything but the attachment kit.  They made the attachment mechanism easier to use but retained the same push plates.  The plow frames became tubular instead of made from welded up pieces of angle iron.  The plow pumps were no longer intigrated into the lift piston.  And the wiring harnesses were changed from a 2 plug to a 3 plug.  In a 2 plug system the headlight harness and plow control harness were run together.  On a 3 plug there is a power plug/ headlight plug/ and a control box plug.  Now Fisher is slowly making a change to a Multi-plexed wiring system.  So we're going back to 2 plugs.  One plug is for the headlights and the other has the power and 2 small multiplex pins.  All these wiring changes just make it easier when replacing parts.  The Multiplexer will eliminate the need for different plow control harnesses for each different plow. 

So the good news out of all of this... if you have a Fisher Minute Mount anything... it will work with some possible re-wiring.  I can make a MM2 Plow work on a MM1 truck or vise versa.

Hey Zip.. you have a PM
