Farmall Super C Snow Blade
Kenneth Anderson, Glenville, Minn., built a 7-ft. blade that mounts on front of his International Harvester Super C tractor.
  The 27-in. high, 3/16-in. thick blade was made from a piece of salvaged steel and has a 1-ft. long "wing" on each side to trap snow. It's controlled by a lever that was originally used to raise and lower a belly-mounted cultivator. A pair of cables run over pulleys on front of the tractor and are connected to a steel frame that supports the blade. The frame is made from 3-in. sq., 3/8-in. thick steel tubing and is welded to a cross brace that bolts onto the tractor frame just ahead of the rear axle. The blade connects to the frame with two steel pins, while the frame itself is held to the tractor by two more pins.
  "I use it to clear snow off my driveway and also a neighbor's driveway. It can push a lot of snow, and I'm always able to see where I'm going," says Anderson. "The blade can be raised about 1 ft. off the ground. It's highly maneuverable - I scrape snow one way, then wheel around and come right back the other way. I can't change the angle of the blade but I don't need to."
