Snow Plow Pics

Hi, My name is Ed and I am now a Farmall "A"lcoholic. I have been working on this old machine since June. $400.00 Cdn. in so far.
Fresh gas tank, rebuilt starter, new plugs (the plugs got it going ! ) Just had the pivot on the front axle welded back together. 3hrs. to remove the wheels, and front axle, 2 hours to re-install after weld job. Bearings repacked, steering alot better now, yadda, yadda, yadda !
This machine has a homebuilt snowplow on the front, most of the weight seems to be on the front bar just under the steering box, I think that is what broke the pivot.
Anyway, while sufing around on this site, I came across some pictures of a restored A , with a snowplow, which utilizes a power steering pump for the hydraulics. I remember reading that the builder used AutoCad to do the design etc.

I can't find these pics again !!!!!

I want redo the plow on mine to better distibute the weight so that there is not so much pressure on the under side of the steering box, I'm afraid some day the steering box will break off.

Those pictures were excellent, the mounting of the pump was excellent. I did not pay much attention though to the way the blade was mounted, until I realized mine is actually capable hurting the tractor again.

So, if someone out there knows of the pictures I'm talking about, PLEASE , lead me back there !

One quote I remember about the article was:
" There are not many damn places to bolt to on the old A."

Signed, "A"lcoholic.
