James, I'm not trying to expand this thread off into another direction but I have several Farmall tractors of the era of your Farmall M and later. I also have modern tractors with all the great features of currently produced tractors and several various types of blades including a box blade. My very best tractor and blade to use on my gravel driveway is my 1953 Farmall Super C 2 point Fast Hitch tractor and a straight angled blade on the back. The Super C has a full time engine driven hydraulic pump which provides hydraulic pressure whenever the tractor is running without regard to clutch or gear shift position. It also has down pressure (great with a post hole auger as well) and the ability to tilt the blade up or down on either the right or left corner of the blade. My driveway tends to become high centered over a year or so and by going down the road one way bringing about half of the crest off the center and into the track made by driving and then turning around at the end of the road and coming back the other way doing the same thing it is a perfect job. If the center is still a little high just make another pass with the blade in a level position and spred the balance into both tracks. You can adjust the blade up, down and up and down left and right all the time without stopping with it's hydraulic system. Just food for thought if you are looking for something that is still very affordable in today's tractor market without buying sometime new. My Super C is the most used of all my Farmalls and I use them all but that Fast Hitch blade is really handy for that type of chore. They also make another blade for the Super C, the C-72 which mounts in under the center of the tractor or upfront which would be an excellent snow removal system for where you are located, Hal.
