Here is a Google Drive folder with some more pics...someday I will remember to take a video and upload it there also. FYE... 
And no, that isn't my shop, I took my stuff to college with me and used things like the 55-ton ironworker and Lincoln 350 MIG Welder and such.  Sped things up a lot, besides being able to work in a heated area is nice!

Dang, Ben, if we got that much snow, a disaster state would be declared and the state shut down! (No joke!) Really nice blade! Been wanting to build a blade for my B or 8N for years, but we only get enough snow to use one about every 5 years or more. Lol
Does your B have good traction pushing much snow with that?
Also, maybe I'm missing something, but what power source moves the cable? Winch?

LOL! I hear ya', we have family in VA, same thing... 2in and the city shuts down. This is NOTHING for us, it all melted a week ago.
It pushed everything in front of it except the re-frozen snow, only traction issue I had was when I was trying to back up uphill with the blade up.
Yeah, it's a winch, 2500 lb Badland from the HF cheapo stores. I want to put a hydralic system on it, but that was going to be more than I have into the whole system at the moment.... Next year/ this fall maybe!

Nice! Your tractor is 12V, so that sounds like the easiest/cheapest option. If I had one, I'd like to use my hydraulic ram to raise/lower it, (Still running 6V system). So far, the method by which I'd do that is still in the thought process.

Nice and no means to be critical, but if you brought the plow a bit closer to the tractor it would take less "lift" off the rear when the blade is up (a little better traction) and also would put less strain on the lift system. Otherwise, nice unit.

I thought about that as well. But...doesn't it need to be some distance out, so the blade can be fully angled without hitting the tires?

Yeah, it worked out good. And also, I didn't want a non-live lift system, that would drive me nuts. I believe that I saw one like that once, if you are talking on the rear, they used a pulley where I have my winch...

Yeah, I just used the frame as it came off the truck, I kinda like it way out there, but it could probably come back another 8-12 inches without a problem. Tires are out of the way enough to not be a problem.

We got 8-10 inches Saturday and it was like oh well. Worst part is the time wasted plowing it.

Thanks for the kind words guys! It has been worth the effort it took to make it already, or course right now it is fun to use, after a month or two (or less) I'm sure it will just be another boring part of the day... 
Shameless.... well, we shall see.... if it breaks I just might have to. |

IS the fuel line correct on your tractor? I have a CA and the fuel line goes outside the oil bath air cleaner like yours does. I always thought it should go behind it. Not that it is a big deal, just wondering what is correct. Thanks... Oh and very nice snow mover. Have fun playing, i mean working in the snow.

As far as I know it is, I can look at the pictures in my owners manual when i get home though and see where it is. Probably Gerald J or Dave Kamp would know, maybe they will let us know before then.
Thanks, I will!

I’m thinking Shameless knows he’ll over rev the engine on that machine if he tried to hit me...in most of Oklahoma it’s been 772 days since we’ve had a winter storm warning. In some parts though it’s been over 1,070 days!

Creston.... and your way a storm warning is 2 inches, up here we have to get a good foot and blowy (or something like that) to get a storm warning.
