I swear, I go and buy a brand new snow plow for the truck, for the first time in 20 years, it arrives yesterday and I have to put some parts together to mount it, so I go through the hardware kit and I will be damned if they didn't screw up again!
They make 6 different models of this plow, 5 of them have the same hardware kits and 1 of them uses a smaller nut and bolt hardware kit, and I will be darned if they didn't send me the 1 that is different and it needs the larger hardware kit! So every where that requires a 1/2 bolt, I ended up getting 3/8 bolts and nuts, which leaves to much slop and will egg shape the holes on the mounting frame under use.
I give them a call, figured no problem, send me the right hardware kit for the model of plow I purchased, they said sure, it will arrive in 3-5 weeks! Puts me into late Nov, early Dec! which is way to late to be trying to put a snow plow together when you don't have a garage!
Well off to the hardware store to put my own hardware kit together so I can get this thing put together and put on the truck before the snow actually starts in for the winter!
I know, weak rant and first world problem, but crap come on! People, double check your work!
