You can just flip the interceptor frame "up-side-down" and reattach the push frame. The pivot lockout pin works in either configuration. I've used this plow system for years. Even on leveled /lifted F150s. You didn't need to do any of that fabrication. I'd flip it and ditch that adapter you made. That adapter will fail quickly with use on your truck. I also use mine on a compact tractor but it's actually a really big plow for a 25hp subcompact. I lose traction and the ability to steer easily with it. For my 1025R, a 60 or even 48" plow works better. But...I live in upstate New York where we get lots of heavy snow all winter. You can actually punch some serious snow with these plows. Replacement parts are super cheap. You will want to take it apart and clean all the parts and paint them every year or they will not last long if you ever carry it over the road. The salt really hurts the push frame a d hardware.

Plowing backwards is ridiculous. Front hitches are cheap and easy. I have one on my f150 with the winch. It's excellent.
