Hugh, I have read your raves about the ability of the offsets to be very effective for pushing snow. We do not get snow very often out here on the west coast but when we do it is a mess. I was thinking a rigging up a snow blade for the Super A. We have about half a mile of gravel drive to clear plus shop parking area, etc. I would appreciate any info on setups that work for you guys and pics, if possible. We have the ability to fabricate pretty much anything in my shop.
Thanks, Karl

I saw this at a dealership in MA. All the push loads and stresses go to the rear. The front is lightly hung from the front axle and only supports the weight of the plow and frame.

I have more pictures if you want them.

Karl: I fabricated my blade, it you wish send me an e mail. I have about 6 quite detailed photos showing attachment to tractor, blade angling, etc. My fabrication occured in 3 separate sessions, each one to correct a weak point on the blade. I never dreamed it would take that much steel to harness one of these little tractors.

Along with the photos, I'll outline my early mistakes. Actually there were two factors, blade push frame strength and castings on tractor. At first my blade push frame was attached only at clutch housing and cultivator mount behind front axle. Looking at some of the damage I was doing too the blade, I had some concern that the torque tube could break. Today my blade is attached at cultivator mount, clutch housing and the frame continues back and attached to each final drive.

After three years since the last rebuild, I'm satisfied I have a blade that will withstand the tractor as well as protect the tractor from damage.

Here is a old Fisher Plow on my A. It is that time of the year when I'll put the plow on the tractor. I'll take pictures and post of the set up if you would like.

Thanks Dave. It looks like your setup requires a separate hydraulic cylinder for the lift and I do not have the necessary manifold block (yet). I may go with Hugh's arrangement which uses the touch control rockshaft for the lift.
