It looks like im gonna have to try to build a snow blade for my 712H because I can't find one within a reasonable driving distance. So my question is. Im gonna have to use wood and such as I have no welding equipment or metal parts lying around (I know its not as durable as metle but I figured that's what they first used with horses and its just got to last me for awhile). Ive pretty much have the mount figured out of how im gonna make it but as for the blade. Would it be better to make a curved one out of wood or just us a flat piece of Dura plate I have for it? The blade lord willing and the crik don't rise will be 42" wide 15" and a 1/2 high. Any tips and pointers will be appreciated. thanks  ------------- There are no atheist in foxholes. |

For my WD I used wood with angle iron for mounts and a scraping blade. Mine is 2 boards high, so put some washers on the top one to angle it down a little. I get a little coming over the top, but not too bad. http://s140.photobucket.com/user/gkroeker/media/Tractorsnowblade001.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s140.photobucket.com/user/gkroeker/media/Tractorsnowblade002.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- Greg Kroeker 1950 WD with wide front and Freeman trip loader |

Seth. If you can find it a ride, i have a blade with no mounting attachment from a B series I will give you. All you would have to do is build or adapt a mount. ------------- 1929 20-35 sn17662 B1 w/snow blade B10 w/sickle mower B110 w/mower deck B110 w/tiller B112 w/grader blade B210 w/plo |

Fastenal is a chain of retail stores that sells specialty hardware:

They also offer shipping services. I'm thinking it would be under $100 to ship the blade from Oklahoma.

I used a 4x4 bottom and 2x4s for brace with 3/4 plywood and angle iron for bottom skid 8 foot wide for a 720 - I just bolted it to the original blade to get angle and hyd lift. Easy push up to 8" snow if you have weight on back. I would go 6' wide for your tractor. http://s1287.photobucket.com/user/ZooMan9/media/DSC01576_zps4ffa32bc.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- I used to be young and stupid, now I am not young anymore. |
