I've been using a snowblade on my G the last 2 winters. I'm wondering if this was made by Allis Chalmers? The paint looks like it's original A/C orange. It sits out front of the tractor. A flat blade, NOT a "V". Works great if the snow isn't too deep. I do have to watch how I use it, I broke 2 axels last winter. You need to know it's limitations.

I think Gs are known for breaking axles and maybe plowing snow the wheel may spin and suddenly catch, and it is cold and the steel is more brittle in the cold. I have watch a few Gs in tractor pulls and they haven't broken yet. They carefully load, no sudden clutch dumping so maybe this helps. And it is in the summer. Maybe a snowblower?? That would be fun.

I have a front-mounted snow blower for mine. I have posted here to find out who made it but got nowhere. It's single stage and the inertia from the augur drum keeps driving the tractor when you declutch. There are some missing pieces for rotating the chute. I would like to find out more about it but there is no plate or ID anywhere.

Those axles were a weak spot on the G. I broke one mowing with the Mott, just using the brake to turn. I'd like to see a picture of the blade.

Differentials are weak also..
I have seen a modified "G" around here during the Antique Steam show in Plain City Ohio...
It has a complete "B" rear drive including the transmission, Newer ( Modern) engine, Perfectly finished sheet metal, Live Hydraulics ..
Has a Grader Blade under the middle, with a controlling set of short hydraulic cylinders on each end of the Blade and it can Swing either way..Plus, it has a Front Blade on it..controlled separately..
Owner said it all was a more or less straight swap...he just had to remove the Planetary out of the Torgue-Tube..
He did a masterful job of making the shift linkage ..that is now under the Seat, with the "B" transmission and final drives..

My reproduced manual "Dealers Repair Parts Catalog For Model "G" Implements" dated February, 1953 does not include a snow blower. I thought I might find yours there because I'm sure I've seen other pictures of one just like yours. It looks pretty well done, like maybe it was AC manufacture. It sure looks like lots of weight to hang on the relatively flimsy front axle and steering system of a G. I'd think that single stage snow blower with it's close-together auger flighting would plug pretty bad in warm, heavy, wet snow. Also, power-wise, I bet it's lots of load for a G.
While replacing the rear axle seals on mine, I discovered it had one repaired rear axle and one bolt in the ring gear / differential carrier that was broken. I managed to fish both ends out of the bottom of the case, but couldn't replace it without lots more tear apart. I elected not to replace it 'cause for me, it's a parade duty shed-queen only.

I used it a few times when I first got it but have other means of snow removal so it sits in the barn. The weight isn't bad. It uses the regular tool bar with a large auxiliary spring to help with the lift. I was thinking it was made by Mott. It uses the same V-belt tensioner as the belly mount mower and the same pulleys. When my axle broke it was the splines in the differential so I pulled it out and disassembled it to make sure I got all the chips out. Not a bad job but the real pain is getting the brake drums off.
