Abstract
A convertible snow plow comprises a support frame having a forward end and a rearward end, the rearward end adapted to be mounted to a vehicle, a pair of plow blades hinged together along inboard ends of the blades at a hinge at the forward end of the support frame, an actuator having opposite ends, one end connected to the support frame, and a two-position linkage connected to the other end of the actuator and to at least one of the blades. When the linkage is in the first position the blades are in a straight blade configuration and the actuator is operable to position the blades in straight blade forward, straight blade left, and straight blade right positions, and when the linkage is in the second position the blades are in a V-blade configuration and the actuator is operable to position the blades in forward swept V and rearward swept V positions.
