This frame was built for a wide front but it may give you some ideas. The wide piece of flatbar at the front bolts to the bolster. A Fisher plow lift frame is welded to it. The rear of the frame bolts to a regular U-shaped drawbar. The drawbar is rotated 180* so that it hangs underneath the transmission. The whole frame is one piece and goes on and off the tractor in about five minutes with six bolts. You just drive over it and start bolting. I leave the Fisher pump, valve, and lever controls on the tractor all year. Although I haven't done this, I think an M could run both front and rear drawbars at the same time. My tractor has a fast hitch.

The older pre "Minute-Mount" plows (prior to 1995 or so) are cheap. Some people are giving the whole package away or selling them for no more than $200. Place a free ad in craigslist.com

If you get a very robust loader for it, you can remove the bucket and attach a blade to the loader arms.
I built a 42" high x 8' wide blade that fastens to the front of my loader, which is a mid-70s Bush-Hog/Freeman 2000 model. I mount it on either my '49 M, or '52 SM. I removed the bucket, set the loader arms inside the open side of an 8" piece of channel iron, welded some brackets to line up with the eyes on the end of the loader frame, then attached the metal for the blade. Then I used 3" channel iron to make a brace system back to the loader arms. These braces clamp to the loader arms with some long bolts. The last step was to put a short piece of 3/8" chain around the crossmember of the loader and use a big eyebolt from the chain to the top of the blade so it can't pitch forward if the bottom hits something. It doesn't angle to the side, but it will sure push through a lot of snow. It takes me 15 minutes to drop the loader bucket and attach the blade. 10 minutes to reverse the process.
Don't try this with a light-duty loader!

Well i could just say just come on down and i'll show ya how i did my S/H , but that probably out of the question . What i did was made up a subframe out of channel iron and for the S/H i used 4 inch for the main frame and three inch coming off the ft. up to the ft. bolster and used the bolster mounting bolts for the plate and that was made out of 5/16ths . The frame workk runs paralell to the ground about 12 inchs off the ground and extends back to just behind the bellhousing with a removeable cross brace between the two main frames , then i came up from the main frame to the bellhouseing from the main frame and from the main frame back on a angel to the munting points on the side of the center section . Made and arch off the ft. mounting for the lift arm and mounting points to accept a Myers snow plow i used a 7 1/2 foot myers . Now since my S/H does not have live hyd. i took one of the angel cyl. and used it for the lift . I also cut down the A frame on the plow to move the plow closer to the ft. of the tractor . This job did not take me more than 3 and a half to four hours to whip up . I just put the tractor in the shop set up 4 jackstands drug out some channel iron a tape massure and some chalk cutting tourch and welder and went at it . Now it helped that we had everything on stock . This whole deal can be put on in less then a half hour and removed in less then 15 min. with and impact and two sizes of scokets and two wrenches and a quick coupler for the hyd.
