I want to build a blade for the front to push snow this winter. I got the lift all pump working this past summer. What i dont have is the lever for the dual acting valve (christmas tree valve, also called) comming out of the top of valve assembly, so i will only run single acting ram with preasure to lift. Any sugestions on building a mounting frame for the blade too the tractor. Is the chanel frame strong enough, or should i go too the back axle and attach the the drawbar frame. Any thoughts or sugestions or experance doing this much appreciated.I don't plan or expect to do the work of a D10 cat with this.

See pictures of my Farmall Super H with the 7' snow-plow that I built. I only use the hydralics to lift the blade. Gravity does the down-force work. The pictures are in the Implement Photos Gallery.

Like Dave has said , i made up a plow for the ft. of my S/H from 3 inch channel and some 2 1/2 inch pipe some 3/8th. flat stock and 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 angel and use and old 7 1/2 foot western snowplow used one to the angel cyl. for the lift along with the lift arm shortend up the subframe made up some new mounting points on the subframe attached it to the ft. of the tractor in the mounting holes on the side of the bolster and back to the mounting holes on the side of the rearend housing . It is wide enough for the ft. wheels to turn all the way as mine is a tric. and made a removeable cross member at the back of the subframe before it goes up to the rear mounts on the rearend it is a snap to remove as it is all bolted ya just remove the rear braces from the sub and rearend and remove the cross member pull four bolts out of the ft. mount unhook the quick coupler on the hdy. and this can all be done with either a floor jack or and extra set of hands , with out the plow on the sub it does not weigh that much and it is strong . I just wished that i had live hdy on my S/H but since it is one of the first ones it's like and old H if it had the live power it would also have the power angel but i am to lazzy to to work up some thing on it . I am just like tha old shoe repirman i fix everybody elses stuff and mine is the last on the list and has to be dead before i'll take the time. I built this set up one day out of need during a raggen snowstorm in three and a half hours had everything i needed in the shop even took the time to lay out and drill all the bolt holes . I pulled the S/H in blew the snow off of it pull two pices of three inch channel off the rack layed them on the floor next to the tractor did some massuren and went to cutting welding and drillen . Thenput my pulling weight brackets on stacked a bunch of weight on and went to pushen snow to see if i could break it found out that even with two and a half tons of weight on it i still needed chains so i took two set of old chains from my old 4x4 and added a littel to them and a couple extra cross bars and a hand full of the old stand by trap strapes and now this thing was a D9. It would move more snow then the 580 Case bachoe.

Good question. My H's front blade frame is basically a rectangle in front with supports that bolt to the length of the frame rails. I get the usual trip with a spring-loaded (manually-angled) blade catching on the occasional fist-sized rock (gravel driveway) but I haven't experienced any problems. I've heard reports of folks cracking the bellhousing and thus going to mounts that go back to the axles or drawbar but, so far (3 years), I've been fine with this setup.

Unless you're really in a hurry, you don't need down-pressure to lower your blade - it'll come down under its own weight. Depending on the width and weight of your blade, I would suggest you use as thin a lift cylinder as possible with 1/2" hoses. With my 7' blade I use a 2" cylinder.

Unless you're an experienced welder, I'd just look for a good used version of both frame and blade - you'll save a lot of time.

Where are you located? Maybe someone nearby has what you need.

Thanks for the pictures, gave me some ideas. Courouis to know is your 3 point hitch a saginaw set up or home made? I don't feel like moving snow when it's that cold but any thing below 30 degreas celcious feels all the same but equipment just don't like it or work as well, but i wan't to retire the shovel

Ian, The three point was made by a local fellow here in SE Michigan. He"s made a bunch of them. They are a good hitch and I also have one on my H. I bought his instead of a Saginaw 3-Point because I feel the Saginaw is overkill on a H or SH. My Super M does have a Saginaw and I like it, too. They are a good strong hitch.

Thanks for the advice, I'll put her in the garage probaly this weekend and start figuring some thing out for a mount, a friend of mine has a spring trip blade for a pick up that he hasn't used in years, I'll have to do some horse trading for it. Courious to know what grade of oil to run in the winter for the lift-all, last winter it got down to -38 degrese celcious was the coldest here (Alberta, Canada) at home. The 30 weight oil would be too stiff. I'am thinking 10 weight for the winter only.

Always happy to trade lore on pushing snow but you are _way_ out of my league with the temps. Here in CT it was a big deal when we had whole January where the temps didn't go above +32F. -10F (-23C) is a pretty extreme low for us and I've never attempted to push snow when it's that cold. I've used hytran in the belly pump with no problems. I know it's thinner than 30W but can't attest to its multi-viscosity characteristics. The first recommendation I'd make is get some sort of engine heater to reduce the wear on those cold-weather starts.
