Snow blade tricks to installing a 42" snow blade on a LT 2138

[RLW_LT2138]

These blades have "hitch palates" that are inserted into the front frame channel.
Every year I struggle to get them inserted. Does anyone have BDT hints?

Once I get this part done the rest of the task is a snap!

I got it on!

Once again all of a sudden the planets aligned and it slid into place. I wish I could figure out how to do this with out fighting it for an hour.
