I made a SNOWBLADE for my Craftsman YS 4500 Lawn Tractor + Sibley winter beauty.

** PLEASE READ** I made my own "Snow-blade"out of treated hardwood which lasted 5 seasons before it was destroyed in the Fire, just to see if I could, if it would work, and just for the fun of it. Since I never had a lawn tractor when I lived in Southern California, I like to ride it, you know! Come on...I'll be 63 in a few weeks. Humor me. Ha ha.(I'm almost 71 now)
We get lots of snow here, and running the snow blower is a lot of work, but necessary in really deep spots. But for much of the driveway and sidewalks I can now run my Sears Craftsman YS 4500 lawn tractor. It gets a good cleaning and I get fresh air while having some fun.
I could make it out all of metal, but the blade really needed the heavy treated wood to be an effective enough weight. It was a fun project, which took me 2 days to complete from idea, start to finish. I hated to loose it in the fire, but I did get 5 good years out of it.
I hope you warm climate types enjoyed the snow pictures and you snow birds, can relate.
