Reply:Sharp! I am in the process of fabing one up for a buddy. How did you make the blade(snow pusher)? We got lucky and found an old boiler tank that just needs cut in half, but for future referance it would be nice to know. Also it looks like the blade just goes up & down, is there a left/right control?

Reply:a little over kill for that tractor and the little dusting of snow it looks like you get. But then again i guess im from canada where im used to pushing a foot of snow in the morning. Before i had much experience fabricating i made a plow frame out of t frame fence posts by making cuts every 1.5" and bending into a c then welding them onto a frame and permanently placing it on about a 35 degree angle. the cutting took a long time considering i used a hacksaw and we made four c braces each 1 1/2 feet tall. i used a metal dehumidifier cover as the mouldboard so the plow has a nice woodgrain look to it. the plow worked good until my friend got a plow for his truck and then all the cold mornings were forgotten about.
Reply:well u think that is over kill look at it now Attached ImagesMike
Reply:ttyr2,  hey I noticed your posts on your scraper box.  Wondering about your 3 point.  Is this an accessory for any garden tractor, or is it model specified?   Do you know whether this is a simple project to install or mechanically complex.  Just wondering  thanks partner CHRIS
