If you get a very robust loader for it, you can remove the bucket and attach a blade to the loader arms.
I built a 42" high x 8' wide blade that fastens to the front of my loader, which is a mid-70s Bush-Hog/Freeman 2000 model. I mount it on either my '49 M, or '52 SM.
I removed the bucket, set the loader arms inside the open side of an 8" piece of channel iron, welded some brackets to line up with the eyes on the end of the loader frame, then attached the metal for the blade. Then I used 3" channel iron to make a brace system back to the loader arms. These braces clamp to the loader arms with some long bolts. The last step was to put a short piece of 3/8" chain around the crossmember of the loader and use a big eyebolt from the chain to the top of the blade so it can't pitch forward if the bottom hits something. It doesn't angle to the side, but it will sure push through a lot of snow. It takes me 15 minutes to drop the loader bucket and attach the blade. 10 minutes to reverse the process.
Don't try this with a light-duty loader!
