f you’ve got a snow-covered road or parking lot, a good snow plow can really come in
handy. That’s where the HMMWV snow plow kit comes to the rescue.
Developed by the Army’s Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Cold
Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL), the snow plow kits were designed
for use on all HWWMVs except those equipped with a winch.
The complete snow plow kit, NSN 3820-01-473-2777, includes the snow plow, hardware
and hydraulics. You can also get the removable plow assembly with NSN 3830-01-473-2783
and the affixed vehicle plow kit hardware with NSN 3830-01-473-2793.
Instructions come with each kit ordered, but the kit should only be installed by depot-
level maintenance and only on the M998, M1037, and M1097 model HMMWVs without
a winch.
Before using your new snow plow, check out the training video available on ERDC’s
website:
You can either watch the video or download it by clicking on the Download button in
the upper right-hand corner.
The video includes hook-up instructions, safety info and preventive maintenance tips. A
second video at the end provides good information on how to attach and use tire chains.
