Widening a snow blade
 

Anyone ever widen a snow blade. Have 42 inch and want to make it just a tad wider.

Joe

Find another 42", slice off what you need and sell the rest as a 30" on CL!!?? :bigthink:

:biggrin2:

Someone did that here this past winter. I cant remember who it was.
It turned out nice for them.

My wife's Uncle Gene added 12" to each side of his 54" on his 1862. He had the steel rolled to match the stock blade. It turned out very well. I don't have any pics of it.

cmon duke. :WWP:

:biggrin2:

CAD, that would be a RARE 30A snowplow. :biggrin2:

I get a free pass on this as he's 425 miles north of me.:biggrin2:

Hey CadPlans...............I just could not bring myself to cut down an.........."endagered species".........sorta.........cub plow.....and then post it on here..........no way buddy. It won't be long before you cannot find those anymore. I think that Roland would kick me off of the site if did such a thing.........LMAO

Wasn't thinking about going too wide, only about 4 inches on each side and just using some 1/8" flat stock and weld some 1" angle across the back for reinforcement.
I actually have to lengthen the plow frame as well. It is currently on my 582 and will not fit the SUPER as it is about 8 inches longer.
I searched the site and could not find any old posts, but I'll keep looking...unless Duke goes for a drive...........hee hee.

i widened my 42 inch blade to 60 inch with some off topic blade pieces. it works so much nicer for snow

Got any old underground oil tanks lying around?

A 1000 gallon tank makes a boat load of snow blades!

Use 3/16 inch steel and make a set of wings that when tilted left or right will still shed the snow. Set at a forward angle so it acts like a bucket of sorts and holds more snow in front of the blade. Google pro-wings for pick up plows to understand what I'm talking about.


That's what I did to my 54 inch Haban making it 72 inch wide and allowing it to carry more snow. just make it so they can be easily removable so when you get the once every ten year blizzards you can remove them to blaze a trail.
