Plow for truck?

[884x4310ci]

Hey guys any one have a plow on there truck ? Especially a Fisher speedcaster ?
I have one on my truck and everything works fine on it except the lift is slow on it.
I can live with it. But would like to fix it if I could. Did anybody else have this problem? And how Did you fix it ?

Thanks

I work for a shop that sells and installs Fisher, Western, and Blizzard plows. All owned by Douglass Dynamic. Both of my trucks have Western Unimounts.

The Speedcaster is a rear mounted salt spreader. There's no "lift".

What plow do you actually have?

I will have to double check on the control tomorrow I quess.
I was told that's what it was.
Its a older style with belt driven hydraulic pump. The controller on the dash has cables going from it through the firewall and on the valve. It has 3 hoses on it. Going to each of the pistons.

Holy crap that's old old. Sub'd out of morbid curiosity now.

Wow, a conventional mount. Sorry buddy, that thing is over 35 years old. No idea, no training on such an antiquated system.

This is what the rest of the set up looks like.
You can get new parts if I would know what to buy.

Wow, thats a classic setup. I would guess the only way to get it to move faster would be to upgrade to an electric pump (meyers E60H is still the fastest I believe)

When I rev up the motor she moves! But I don't think I should have to do that. So I guess my first move is to get a pressure gauge. And check line pressure. And take it from there. Could be as simple as a cloged line.
