Your idea looks good but I also would be conserned about damage to the mower mounting brackets. I had a similar idea but used iron. I do understand the need to not push gravel into the lawn or damage the sod. I also see from these posts, the differences in other parts of the country having varying climate conditions. Here, many people pushing snow, even with a pickup truck, let the first snowfall (hopefully only an inch or two) pack down without plowing to cover any gravel that might get pushed into the yard, and with colder temps we have, the lawn freezes letting a heavier blade float over the grass or covered gravel without digging in. First year, I kept everything clear and when spring finally came I too had gravel in the grass -didn't do that again! Also found that I should plan ahead to allow for additional room to plush upcoming snowfalls. Made that mistake as well. This is my snow pushing rig, 1951 Farmall SC with chains, two sets of weights. I will push snow as high as the hood and many times even push the pile back further if needed. Walks right through 16" snow and keeps going. This setup is heavy but easy to mount with two bolts and does float. I had a homemade blade made from a large tank with channel iron bolted to the bottom edge but replaced it with a 7ft pickup blade. This year only used the tractor once- not much snow. Last weeks 4" snow was just packed down with the car due to the exceedingly cold temps, couldn't bring myself to go out. I keep telling myself, I will mount one of the two heat-housers I've got on the SC for next year but it seems to get postponed each year. I've used this every year since 1980 with no problems, tho I did try a loader on this tractor one year but found it too slow. I have a larger Farmall 756 with a 7ft snow bucket that just sets under cover in the barn that has only seen about 1 hour use since 2003 when I purchased it. Still not as fast as the SC with the blade. Once I used the SC to push 14" snow off my twp road 3/4 mile to the tar cnty road. That was when the county would take 2-3 days to get here to plow. Only made a path to get through and took a few hours- but thats another story. Hope my pics give you some ideas.
