usually you can download the manual from fisher, just look for the model number. (I thinks its either on the top edge of the blade or on the frame)
Thanks Dawg! The EBay fish-stik should arrive in a few days and I downloaded the Fisher plow manual from their web site.

I should probably drain and replace the plow's ATF as the next job.

I got the plow to move with the fish stik. A guy helping me fix my fence started helping me to connect the plow. He was standing on the plow and wanted me to drive the truck forward with him standing on it while he moved it up and down. While driving it forward, the front driver's side brake line blew out and I took him on a 10 foot plow ride through the dirt with him yelling as he took a ride.

I'm starting to hate this rust-monster truck.

The new brake lines came in and I've been hitting the old lines with PB Blaster but they still won't loosen up. Crud.

I bought all of them but I was thinking that for now I would just replace the one line.

With my luck though, more lines will blow out in the middle of winter. I know I should do all of them but I really don't want to.

Rust is the killer. I'm taking Dawg's advice and wearing safety googles.

Honestly I don't even try to take brake lines off with a wrench anymore. Cut the line as close as you can to the fitting with a set of dikes and just tap a 6 point socket on it. Works for me 98% of the time. The other 2% is vice grip the fitting or if the fitting is steel weld a nut to it and get it out while it's still hot.
