What happens here

While plowing, the heavy, wet snow causes the Arctic snow plow blade attached to the Ford F-series Super Duty truck to become crooked. The operator first attempts to straighten the blade using the truck's hydraulic controls. When this proves insufficient, a team member uses a large hammer to forcefully strike the blade's pivot points, using the rigid concrete curb as leverage to bend the metal back into its proper alignment. This generates sparks, highlighting the impact and effort involved in the manual repair.

Goal: Restore a damaged or misaligned snow plow blade to proper working condition.
