I've got a really heavy duty Ford blade that I bought a couple years ago. Paid $200 for it, in kinda rough shape but with a nice, newer heavy duty cutting edge. I think it's a 7', it is just a little bit wider than my rear tires when straight but when angled it's a bit narrower. That doesn't seem to have too much of a negative impact on my snow removal. It's behind a TO35 with loaded rear tires, no chains. I used it for the first time yesterday. We had our first snowfall, a very heavy, wet one. I put two coats of rust paint on about a month or two ago and the snow just slid right off of it when angled. I was pretty excited, it did a nice job and was much easier and tidier than using the front end loader on the 202.
I have no worries about it's sturdiness as I have used it in some pretty rough, stump laden terrain and it will rip smaller stumps up in a few passes. I'd look for a good heavy older one that maybe needs a bit of work and some paint. Mine's not pretty but it works well.

Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
