How to fit a plow to a K-27?

[suffolk_rr]

I've just spent a frustrating hour trying to fit a snowplow to my K-27 #463. I removed the pilot beam and can see that there are two lugs in the under side of both the original pilot beam and the snowplow assembly - these drop neatly into holes in the cast frame spacer on the normal pilot, but try as I might, I cannot get the plow far enough back to get the lugs to go into the holes!

Can anybody out there who has fitted a plow to a K-27 offer any suggestions? I've looked at previous posts about plows but didn't find any comments on this problem.

    Go to the "search" tab above and type in "K-27 plow"...scroll down and deselect "select all"...then select "large" for the scale you wish to search...A whole bunch of threads will come up.....I have read the answer you are looking for but can't find it....don't have one myself yet so can't help other wise.......Hope this is some help.........S.B.

Thanks, Sleeping Bear,
I hadn't searched carefully enough! From what I found, I think the key to getting the plow on is to remove the smokebox door number plate, which I hadn't done as it seems to be glued in. Thaks for your suggestion about how to do a better search.
