Hey, ther's a Man after my Heart...!!!

I bet a whole lot of us Farm kids dreamed of the chance to run that tractor in the Snow..!!

Ours were JD "B" Late Styled...with a decent Co-Op Manure Loader on it (Original) with a good strong 6 1/2' front blade.( I use for Piling snow UP HIGH.

I have a rear mounted 7' 3-Point Blade on my 630 for cleaning our drives, etc.. You can move a LOT of snow with a 7' Rear mounted 3-Point blade, but you cannot PILE it up very high..!

I Prefer to do most of my "Finish Grading", in reverse.. On a Paved drive, you can let the blade down on the Asphalt..just Hope it is in good shape or the Asphalt drive will be in the guy's Yard..!
The 7' blade of mine is "Light weight", ( From TSC ), I added an optional Heavy forward cutting blade that stiffens the bottom and re- Welded the entire assembly and a lot more..
In other words it can be "Made" to do the job, but will never last long if you don't.

Going to the 8' you usually get a Blade that is probably too heavy to be practical and if it is light, it can't take the twisting and Heavy shoving you will need to do occasionally.
es, I think a TSC 7' Blade.. WITH some time and a Welder will yield a decent lighter blade for probably less money, but it WILL need some steel welded in at the Center pivot area.. I drilled the Position Bolts out to 1 full Inch ( Hard righ Hard washers and a spacer inside the square tube, etc.

Either way is ok..and there is nothing wrong with a good old 6' Blade + they are really cheap..!
The 7' blade, when going Forward (cutting edge Forward also) snow will gather up in front of the blade, under the tractor between the rear wheels, and snow is Pushed ahead of the tractor sometimes 5' or so on front of the front wheels.. When it does...it actually makes the 630 Bark a little.!

I bet you have a Fast 1st gear and Fast reverse gear, too.. Better have that "G" running real nice and SLOW...!!
YOU are gonna Love it, just be careful..in a residential area, you can easily become the "Bull in the China Shop"...if ya know what I mean,,!

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Lead Substitutes - by Mike Schordine. Lead was oriinally added to gasoline as an upper cylinder lubricant. It lubes the valves and seats. If you rebuild the motor, you could use hardened seats and valves, and unleaded fuel. But if your old tractor runs good, a simple lead substitute added to the gas is a perfectly reasonable solution. And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water. ...
