’08 Sportsman 500 – Glacier 1 Plow Mount

Hi all,

I’m new to the forum and hoping there’s an expert out there that can help me out!

I recently purchased a used 2008 Sportsman EFI HO that came with a Glacier 1 plow system (has the quick connect mount and frame). However, the guy bought it from recycled the mounting plate from his X2, so he had to bend the plate to shorten it to fit the regular 500. Of course I didn’t find this out until I drove over 3 hours there to buy the atv. He gave me the whole, "you can get one online for 60-70 bucks bla bla".

Anyway, I believe the part# I need is 2876841. Does anyone know where I can find this??? I’d use the bent plate I have but I’m worried about the structural integrity and also that it lowers my clearance by a little over 3" (when the whole point of this plate is that you don’t have to take it off for regular riding). I’ve talked to a few local dealers and all have said that it has been discontinued/superseded and that I am SOL and most likely need a whole system from blade to mounting plate. Been watching Ebay for a few weeks now and haven’t seen anything…

Appreciate the help,
Dan
