I have the curtis plow with the linear actuator for the lift and mine just took a dump on me.Anyone here know where a replacement can be had or have one you arnt using you would be willing to part with????
Im in dire straights without my plow in the winter.

Mark,
Have you put power directly to actuator to confirm it's not a wiring issue?

There is a relay close to the battery (at least on mine that's where it is.)

Sometimes you can test and read voltage but have system not carrying enough amps to operate.

Yes I just had it all apart.It was a broken wire right where the wire went into the actuater.While apart I noticed the brushes are also on their last leg and not sure if i can find a replacement brush.For now it is working thank god because were under a winter storm 8 to 12 inches.But i still need to find a replacement as i dont know how much more ill get out of the brushes but like i said for now its working.
 
Mark,
I removed mine and put a hydraulic one on a couple of years ago. If you want I can see if I can find it. I'm pretty sure it's in the garage.
