The description in the link calls it a lawn tractor plow, you just bought a super garden tractor...."One of these things is not like the other". It looks like a lot of plastic bolted together without a subframe under the tractor. I'm not sure why your craftsman wouldn't push, do you have weights and chains (or ags)? Without them the 982 won't push well either.
I wouldn't waste my time with it, I'd send it down the road with the tractor it goes to. Get you a few more dollars to spend on the correct blade and subframe. I would try to find a 54" blade, a 42" would be ok if you have a smaller driveway. Also, I don't think a $75 JD blade is going to be of anymore quality than the one you have.
Does your 982 have dual hydraulics? If so, it is already set up to lift and angle a blade. You would just have to modify a blade to angle if you don't find a power angle blade for a 982. If not, you'll need a dual spool valve and all necessary lines and hardware.
