Hybrid Snow Machine
This project worked great in the last storm. Fun, too. No issues pushing snow with 8 hp Tec in 3rd gear. Squeegee rubber from tractor belting hugs the pavement nicely and is "reversible." Plow has full swing left and right. Plow comes off in a jiffy and stores on end on motor and bars for small footprint in the garage. MH

Very nice work.
Toro offered an accessory plow for my 521.They call it a grader blade,not a snowplow.I've never seen one,but I'd love to have it just to scrape my driveway with after a small 2-3" storm.
I bet it would work well,the little Toro has amazing traction for such a small,light machine.

Motorhead, you are a hero! I've got a similar setup on one of my old Gravelys that worked good, but I haven't used it in many years. Now I know what to do with the old lawntractor blade I've been saving! Great job...
Nice mod !!

Make sure the windows are up before the snow plow goes by !!

I've been keeping a couple of old leaky air compressor tanks thinking possible material for a blade.
I'm wondering if the usual friction wheel drive of a snowblower can take this sort of use.

Nice Work MH, Is that all home made? Almost looks like a factory Toro setup. I've never used one, but my old Toro parts manuals list a part number 59099 kit that looks very similar to that setup. They show that 'Grader Blade' fitting all models from a 3521 up to a 1132, with the only difference being the mounting brackets/plate. Looks like it handles well. GLuck, J
The tractor unit was an MTD given to me by my brother in law. The bucket on that machine was toast but the engine and all else good. I looked around for a new bucket but most were almost as bad as mine. I'm a tractor guy and have seen a lot of old walk-behind tractors with plows on them so when I saw a little 32 inch blade on Craig's, I went for it. All I had to do was fab a 1/4 inch plate to fit the front end and then drill out the center to accept the blade hardware. I added the belting for the squeegee effect on the cutting blade. Voila! The 8 hp friction drive offers power to spare for pushing. I'm looking for another blade for an old Ariens ST model now. MH

GEvening MH, I have a craftsman blade here, from a tractor, that I may sacrifice, It has a broken pivot lock cable abd missing mounting brackets. I thik it has a good cutting edge on it tho, not rubber. Jay
