Attaching Snow Plows to Diesels?

I have some BLMA plows I'm going to add to a pair of Walthers GP-18s and am not sure the best way to attach them.  Any tips?  Thanks!

Haven't used my stash of BLMA plows yet.  I have used NSN, Sunrise and DA plows,  I use to just press fit with epoxy, later graduated to drill the pilot face and plow and glue and pin with .019 brass wire. Both methods work.  A total aside I thought Trainworx was going to release plastic snow plows.

CA.

Agreed.  Using a medium or thick CA will get the job done without any issues.

Ca is good, but clear silicone caulk works great, flexible, you have working time to position the plow just right, and it is removable.

Gel CA gives you a moment or two to adjust, and it's less likely to find its way into the coupler pocket...
